Tommy Fury warned of "tricky fight" against Jake Paul by ex-world champion teammate

Tommy Fury has been warned by his teammate and former world champion Andy Lee that he is in for a "tricky" night when he faces Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia next month.

The ex-middleweight champion is a cousin of Tommy's brother, Tyson, and cornered him during his world title win over Deontay Wilder, and has spent a small amount of time with the 23-year-old in the gym while preparing for fights. And while he believes that the younger Fury will get the win, he understands the threat that Paul poses as well.

Fury has the more boxing experience, spending his life around the sport, with his dad John a former fighter, as well as Tyson and his cousin Hughie, who are both top heavyweights. But Paul will be the toughest test of his professional career, holding a 6-0 record that includes four knockouts.
