After multiple cancelations, Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury is finally slated for February 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Since the fight was officially announced, the pair have been busy engaging in promotional segments, with both men detailing how they would triumph over the other.

During a recent interview with JOE, the former Love Island star reiterated his confidence in achieving a definitive victory over the former Disney star come February 26.

Fury claimed that he was beating better fighters than 'The Problem Child' when he was just a teenager. The 23-year-old Brit doubled down, saying he fought fighters like Paul 10 times a week in amateurs.

According to Tommy Fury, the only reason people see the upcoming boxing match as a close affair is because of Paul's massive social media presence. Fury said:

"I was beating better men than Jake Paul at 14 and 15 years old... I've fought guys like Jake Paul 10 times in a week in the amateurs. Won titles, national titles. This guy can't live with me. The only reason why this is a close fight is because he's got a big social media presence and that's it, but I'll prove on the 26th of February that followers can't fight for you."

Although both 'TNT' and 'The Problem Child' are undefeated in their careers, the younger Paul brother boasts some notable wins over combat sports figures on his resume. The YouTuber-turned-boxer's biggest success came in his unanimous decision win against UFC legend Anderson Silva last October.


John Fury believes that Tommy Fury will be as popular as any world champion boxer if he defeats Jake Paul

According to Tommy Fury's father John, his son will be as popular as any other world champion boxer if he triumphs over Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to FreeBets, the former boxer opined that the upcoming boxing clash in Riyadh was bigger than most world title fights and will change Tommy's life forever.

The 58-year-old believes that there is no way 'The Problem Child' can beat his son and seems confident that Paul will hang up his gloves for good once 'TNT' is done with him:

"Like I say, after this event, Jake Paul won't want to box no more... because he's going to feel what it's like to get in and fight a young strong man... He's [Fury] training like a demon... this will change his life forever... I think [once Tommy beats Paul] he is going to be as popular as any heavyweight champion in the planet or middleweight champion, lightweight... I think this is a bigger fight to be fair. Probably bigger than most world title fights."
