Tyson Fury has brushed aside the threat of his brother Tommy being knocked out by Jake Paul in their grudge fight.
Fury is scheduled to fight Paul on February 26 in Saudi Arabia after pulling out of his fight against the brash YouTuber-turned-boxer twice before. The pair were first scheduled to meet in December 2021, but Fury withdrew citing a chest infection and broken rib. A rescheduled clash between the pair last August was also cancelled when visa issues prevented Fury from travelling to the US.
Heavyweight champion Tyson wished Paul the best of luck for the fight whilst gatecrashing a recent interview of his, a moment in which Paul laughed nervously as his life "flashed before his eyes". In a recent chat with iFL TV, Tyson's former opponent Derek Chisora gave details of a chat he had with 'The Gypsy King' about the fight. "We were just talking about family stuff, just hanging out. I told him his brother is going to get knocked out and he goes ‘as long as he’s getting paid’,” Chisora said.
