Tommy Fury will finally touch gloves with longtime rival Jake Paul on February 26 after canceling on the YouTube star on two separate occasions in the past. At first, the two were set to face off in the ring in December 2021, but a last-minute injury reportedly stopped their bout from taking place. In Summer 2022, Tommy pulled out of yet another match with \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 due to travel difficulties that prevented him from entering the United States. Tommy Fury says he\u2019ll \u201c100% retire\u201d if he loses to Jake Paul Now, following the birth of his firstborn child, Fury is making good on his promise at last\u2026 and says he\u2019ll face some dire, self-imposed consequences if he loses this time. In an interview with talkSPORT, Fury claimed that he would actually retire from the family business of boxing if he loses to Jake Paul in their upcoming bout \u2014 but says he\u2019s confident that he won\u2019t actually have to do so. \u201cIf you lose the fight \u2014 I know you think you won\u2019t, but you have to answer yes or no \u2014 if you were to lose it against Jake Paul, would you retire?\u201d a host asked. \u201cYes, 100 percent, definitely,\u201d he answered. \u201cIf I can\u2019t beat Jake Paul, I don\u2019t belong in the ring.\u201d (Topic begins at 10:15) Despite both his brother and father being in the boxing world, Tommy has other pursuits that have made him somewhat of a household name \u2014 his wide social media following being one of them, on top of his former stint on Love Island. For now, Fury is adamant that he\u2019s going to show up on Fight Night despite being a no-show for their press conference on February 8. In fact, Jake claims he\u2019s even got a replacement fight lined up, should something prevent his British rival from following through.
