Michael Conlan believes Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury when the pair face off on February 26.
A fight between the Love Island star and YouTuber has long been in the works. After a lengthy feud, the pair are finally set to face off in Saudi Arabia at the end of this month.
Former World title challenger Conlan believes Paul will get the better of Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury's younger brother, although he doesn't seem entirely confident in his prediction.

"Does Jake Paul beat Tommy Fury? I’d favour him from what I’ve seen of both but who knows," wrote Conlan on Twitter after the fight was announced over the weekend.
Since moving into boxing, Paul has fought a string of influencer's and older MMA stars such as Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. While victorious in these bouts, the level of competition has made it difficult to determine just how good Paul is.
Fury (8-0), who's partner Molly-Mae Hague recently gave birth to a baby girl, represents a step up in competition for the American. But like Paul, Fury hasn't fought top-class competition yet.
Conlan certainly has and with his wealth of experience, he is in a position to comment on the outcome of the fight. Although not really enamoured with the prospect of the two squaring off, Conlan admitted to Boxing Social that Paul has been the more impressive of the duo to date.
"I'm interested - I'm not really I'm just saying I am," the Belfast brawler said.
"I'll be honest I don't know who wins. I've watched a little bit of Tommy Fury and I haven't been overly impressed with him.
"I think I'd be more impressed with Jake Paul for the simple fact that he is not a boxer. He's looked good in the fights that he has been in, albeit, he hasn't really fought a boxer.
"It's a weird one. It's good it's happening because there's been so much s*** talk between the two of them, and I'd be interested to see who wins."
