Tommy Fury accuses Jake Paul of \u201crigging\u201d past fights ahead of December bout YouTube: Jake Paul \/ Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIMEYouTube star Jake Paul will be facing off against UK pro boxer Tommy Fury on December 18 \u2014 but Fury claims this will be his opponent\u2019s first \u201cnon-rigged\u201d bout thus far. Jake Paul has risen from a career as a full-time influencer to a professional boxer with a 4-0 record. Taking out the likes of former Olympic mixed martial artists and UFC champions, Paul now has his sights set on Tommy Fury. Fury, a professional boxer from the United Kingdom, also has his fair share of experience in the limelight, having been a reality TV star on Love Island \u2014 but he claims all his fights have been legitimate, as opposed to Paul\u2019s bouts against retired athletes and other YouTubers. Fury called out Paul during a press conference on November 24, who tuned into the conference via Zoom floating in a Puerto Rico swimming pool, wearing sunglasses and fruit-emblazoned hat. Pucker up Timmy, it\u2019s time to kiss ur last name and ur family\u2019s boxing legacy goodbye. DEC 18th Im changing this wankers name to Tommy Fumbles and celebrating with Tom Brady.

When his fights are not rigged, and they\u2019re not set up, he loses. And let\u2019s be honest: I\u2019m not a UFC fighter. I\u2019m not a YouTuber, and I\u2019m not a basketball player, who else you fought, yeah?\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been doing this my whole life. Come December 18, you\u2019re gonna have a funny look at the team around you, because they\u2019ve got you into a world of trouble, my friend.\u201d (Topic begins at 18:20) Fury made mention of Paul\u2019s previous bouts against YouTuber AnEsonGib and former NBA player Nate Robinson, as well as his latest fight against former five-time UFC champ Tyron Woodley \u2014 a match that Paul won by split-decision. Paul didn\u2019t seem fazed by Tommy\u2019s comments, though, and had a few harsh back-and-forths with Tommy\u2019s father, John Fury, who had several insults to sling along the way. While Pauls prior bouts haven\u2019t been confirmed as \u201crigged,\u201d Floyd Mayweather, who notably faced off against Logan Paul in a June exhibition match, suggested their fight wasn\u2019t the real deal: \u201cIf it was a real fight, it would\u2019ve been a blowout in the first round.\u201d Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury will kick off on December 18 in Tampa, Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
