Jake Paul labels himself the "best boxer in the world" ahead of Tommy Fury fight

Jake Paul has declared he is "the best boxer in the world" as he prepares for his grudge fight against Tommy Fury.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is scheduled to meet Love Island star Fury over eight rounds at a catchweight of 185lb on February 26 in Saudi Arabia. The fight has now scheduled three times, as the pair were first scheduled to meet in December 2021 but Fury pulled out because of a chest infection and broken rib. A rescheduled clash between the pair was also cancelled last August when visa issues prevented Fury from travelling to the United States.

In a video of himself juggling three tennis balls, Paul showed he isn't short on confidence as he made a vow to knock out Fury whilst calling himself the best boxer in the world. “I will knock him out, I will embarrass him, I will put him to sleep. I’m the best in the world. I’m the best boxer in the world. I, Jake Paul will knockout, defeat, and embarrass Tommy Fury, February 26 live in Saudi Arabia,” Paul said in the video.
