Eddie Hearn praises Jake Paul in bold Tommy Fury grudge-fight prediction

Jake Paul Tommy Fury Eddie Hearn Amanda Serrano Katie Taylor Paul Bamba

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn believes Jake Paul is "quite a big favourite" in his fight with Tommy Fury.

Hearn was the man behind Paul's professional debut, when he fought AnEsonGib on the undercard of his Super Bowl week card in Miami at the start of 2020. But the pair have since fallen out after their feud as rival promoters in the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano lightweight super-fight got too heated last year.

However, the Brit is still confident Paul is going to be able to defeat Fury, who was on the verge of turning professional when the American had his first white collar fight in 2018. The pair are set to fight in Saudi Arabia on February 25, after two previous attempts to stage the bout in America fell through.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
