Tyson Fury backs half-brother Tommy Fury to knockout Jake Paul in £100,000 bet

Two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claims that he will lose £100,000 if half-brother Tommy Fury does not stop Jake Paul in this weekend's eight-round boxing bout.

The pair will finally face each other at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, over 14 months after they were first scheduled to meet in the ring in December 2021. Tommy pulled out of that first fight due to injury and withdrew from a second rescheduled date last summer after encountering visa issues.

Tyson believes that his half-brother will maintain a perfect professional record and add Paul to the list of four fighters that the Manchester-born boxer has knocked out. His American opponent has yet to lose in six professional fights and one amateur contest, but that hasn't dissuaded Tyson from backing his half-brother.
