Tommy Fury makes vow to "permanently shut up" Jake Paul after signing for fight

Jake Paul has been told that he will be "permanently shut up" after he takes a major step up to face Tommy Fury.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has become one of the most polarising and divisive fighters in combat sports since turning professional in 2020. He's 5-0 since his debut, having knocked out all four of his opponents, but has been often criticised for facing non-boxers, with none of his opponents having had a boxing match before facing him.

So he will face a massive jump in competition when he faces the 8-0 Fury, who is the younger brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson. The pair have had a long-running rivalry dating back to the start of last year, and after their December date was cancelled, they have rescheduled for August 6 in New York.
