Jake Paul reveals back-up fighter as he \u201cdoubts\u201d Tommy Fury actually fights YouTube: Seconds OutJake Paul has revealed that he\u2019s got a former UFC fighter on standby if Tommy Fury pulls out of their fight once again, as the YouTuber has some \u201cdoubts\u201d about it actually happening. Over the last year and a bit, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have agreed to fight twice, but issues on the Fury\u2019s end have meant that the longtime rivals have not yet met in the ring. The pair have signed to finally fight on February 26 in Saudi Arabia, and they\u2019ve even had a face-off in the United Kingdom. Though, unsurprisingly, they had to be separated after things got pretty heated. While there aren\u2019t any obvious issues that might scupper the fight happening this time around, Jake has got a backup plan in case Fury can\u2019t make it to the fight night as he does have some doubts. Jake Paul has \u201cdoubts\u201d Tommy Fury makes February 26 fight As noted, the YouTuber-turned-boxer was in London for the first pre-fight press conference, but he appeared alone without Fury. There, he noted he\u2019ll fight ex-UFC fighter \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry if Tommy pulls out. \u201cYeah, look a part of me definitely still doubts,\u201d Jake said when asked about his optimism about the fight actually happening this time. \u201cIt\u2019s scary and it\u2019s annoying, and him not showing up to the face-to-face we were supposed to do, it sucks. The kid\u2019s not necessarily reliable but the money\u2019s good, for him, so he would be just so dumb.\u201d Timestamp of 3:25 Perry is one of the fighters that revealed he\u2019d received a fight contract from Jake prior to him announcing his fight against Fury. So, there has been some long-term interest there. He has been involved in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships following his exit from the UFC and even fought in a real boxing fight on the Triller Triad Combat event in 2021. He\u2019s undefeated in those three contests. Though, fans will be hoping Jake doesn\u2019t have to call on his back-up plan and the longtime rivals can actually settle their beef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
