Derek Chisora changes Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul prediction despite 'favourite' claim

Derek Chisora has backed Tommy fury to secure a knockout victory against Jake Paul when they meet this weekend in Saudi Arabia, changing his original prediction of a victory for Paul.

The pair put their unbeaten records on the line on Sunday in Saudi Arabia and the eyes of the boxing world are turning towards the contest, with former heavyweight title challenger Chisora making his prediction. 'War' was in the ring with the pair as they came face to face in London prior to Anthony Yarde's fight against Artur Beterbiev last month.

Chisora has previously fought against Fury's older brother Tyson three times, with the latest coming in December as Fury won for a third time. Earlier this month he revealed a conversation with the WBC world heavyweight champion where he tipped Paul for a victory, telling IFL TV: “I told him his brother’s gonna get knocked out … And then he goes ‘as long as he’s getting paid.'”
