Jake Paul tells Tommy Fury what to do to secure fight ahead of Wembley bout

Jake Paul has sent a message to Tommy Fury ahead of the latter's biggest boxing bout of his career when he'll face 10-1 Daniel Bocianski at Wembley Stadium in one of the fights on the undercard of half brother Tyson's upcoming title bout with Dillian Whyte.

It will be Tommy's first fight since his cancelled bout with American star Paul last year. Paul's former opponent Woodley stepped up to replace Fury - who was injured - and Paul landed a knockout shot on the former UFC champion.

Fury had hoped to reschedule the fight with Paul since. But the former YouTuber stated on numerous occasions that he is not interested in revisiting a fight with Fury - unless the Briton wins a few contests convincingly.

But now he says he hopes Fury can defeat the Polish veteran and have a big moment to build momentum ahead of a potential future fight - failing to rule out the chances of those two meeting.

Paul told The Mirror: "It’s great. And let’s see how he fares, this will be a cool test for him and hopefully it’s not a snooze-fest like all of his fights. Hopefully he can get a big moment, a big KO and get some momentum going. Right now we’re just not interested in that fight because he doesn’t really have anything going, people only know of his name because of me.

"I’m rooting for him. Best of luck to him, hopefully he can get a big KO and do something that would make more excitement for a fight between us.

"He sucks at promoting, his brother did all the promotion, his dad did all the promotion for the last fight so he’s got to do something to get back on my radar."

Fury has already told his fans that he hopes to do just that, promising to show a convincing performance against his toughest opponent of his career to date. Fury also sent a message to Paul, stating that Bocianski would comfortably defeat him.

Fury told Queensberry Promotions: "This man I'm about to fight would iron Jake Paul out easy. Because this man has probably got a family to feed. This is his only way of making money, he probably needs to make the money. He's going to come in with killer ambition.

"Whenever I get asked about Jake Paul, it doesn't spring anything towards me - that is an easy fight. When Jake Paul is in a tough fight, he'll take a knee and not continue.

"I have seen he wants to fight in August. If he wants his viewing figures back, he knows where it's at. If he wants it if he can have it anytime. My career is blossoming - I am fighting at Wembley in front of 90,000 - the biggest fight in UK history. Jake Paul will be tuning in."

Paul has revealed that he plans to make a comeback to the boxing ring in August, with British YouTuber KSI being linked as a potential opponent.
