'Limited' Eddie Hearn offers view on Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury as fight nears confirmation

Eddie Hearn has said that he looking forward to seeing American YouTuber Jake Paul getting 'chinned' when he next enters the ring. The 25-year-old is looking like he will finally enter the ring against Tyson Fury's younger brother Tommy in a fight said to be scheduled for August 13 this year.

A fight was set to take place between the two in December of last year, but it was cancelled with Fury citing a broken rib and chest infection as the reason. This has led to plenty of speculation as to whether or not we would see the pair enter the ring together, but after Fury's win against Daniel Bocianski at Wembley in April it appears that things are moving in the right direction for a fight to happen once more.

Jake Paul recently worked with Eddie Hearn in promoting Katie Taylor's win against Amanda Serrano in New York last month but the relationship appears to be a difficult one given Hearn's comments in recent days. Appearing to offer some insight regarding the fight's imminent confirmation the promoter spoke to TalkSport about the fight.
