Tommy Fury backed to retire Jake Paul as rivals finally clash in ring

Tommy Fury's dad expects Jake Paul to never box again following their grudge fight this weekend.

Fury has shared a long-term rivalry with YouTube star Paul since his arrival in the boxing world, with the pair first agreeing to a fight following the latter's win over Tyron Woodley in 2021. However Fury was forced to withdraw after suffering a broken rib, and after the pair agreed to a second attempted meeting this year it collapsed once again with the Briton banned from travelling to the US.

The pair will finally touch gloves this weekend at the third time of asking. And Fury's father John, who has been mentoring his son in his boxing career, believes Fury is by far the toughest examination of Paul's fighting credentials.
