Jake Paul admits Tommy Fury boxing match is his \u201ctoughest test yet\u201d YouTube: Jake Paul, Frank Warren’s Queensberry PromotionsYouTube boxer Jake Paul has admitted that his upcoming bout against Tommy Fury will be his biggest challenge yet after a career of fighting retired sports pros and influencers. Jake Paul was once a premier YouTube star \u2014 but now, he\u2019s taking on the world of professional boxing full-time. Thus far, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 boasts an undefeated record, with all but one victory taken by knockout. As impressive as that might seem, not everyone is convinced that Jake deserves all the accolades of bringing boxing back into the spotlight. Throughout his career, critics have panned the star for not fighting against a \u201creal boxer.\u201d For background: Paul has faced off against YouTubers Deji Olatunji and AnEsonGib, former NBA star Nate Robinson, retired Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, and former UFC champ Tyron Woodley (twice). As of yet, he has yet to face off against a fellow boxer of his caliber\u2026 but he will, come August 6, after getting British boxer Tommy Fury to agree to a match for the second time. The Love Island star infamously dropped out of their bout last year, prompting Paul to rematch Tyron Woodley instead. A day after securing the bout, Paul uploaded a video to YouTube where he freely admitted that this would be the biggest challenge of his career. \u201cHis entire family, all they know is to box,\u201d he conceded. \u201c\u2026I\u2019m going into their territory. I\u2019m going to their sport.\u201d \u201cTommy\u2019s been boxing since he was 12 years old,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis is part of his blood. This is what he does on a daily basis.\u201d Paul then listed the cons of this bout \u2014 the fact that Fury is taller than him, has been boxing \u201cfour times as long\u201d as him, has a longer reach, and has \u201cway more ring experience.\u201d That being said, this definitely won\u2019t stop Jake from bringing his A-game to the ring on August 6. \u201cI\u2019m taking a very big step forward into my career,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI want a tough test. I want to put the MVB belt on the line for this fight.\u201d After attempting to schedule a bout last year, these two powerhouses are finally slated to face off in a bout that many fans feel could make or break Jake\u2019s budding boxing career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
