Tommy Fury wont even get to fight for British title nevermind win it. He was absolutely right to take this money. He should rematch Jake and if he beats him fight KSI and then retire before he gets brutally exposed by a Latvian with some ambition

I wouldn't class Tommy as a proper boxer and I can't see him ever winning a world title.  It was clear that he didn't look comfortable with the odd punch that Paul landed on him.

Tommy's net worth is around £1m and two fights ago be was paid just over £10k for his fight against Taylor.  He's made around £4.5m from the Paul fight so he would have been daft not to take it IMO.

Again you’re all ignoring the fact HE wants to be taken seriously as a boxer and HE wants to be a proper boxer. My entire point is, anyone in this position is an idiot to take the fight as it takes you further away from the intended target.

He could make that money in plenty of ways… making it as a boxer has one route and fighting Jake Paul is not on it IMO. I dont know maybe i’m super cynical but he’s with a social media personality and has been on reality tv, money is not hard to come by in those areas… now look at what steps would lead to being well regarded in his field of boxing. Outside of making some money what has this fight done for his boxing? There was nothing to learn from fighting Paul that he shouldn’t already know.

His boxing career looks so flimsy but maybe i’m judging too harshly, I cant think of a single pro athlete who would be so proud of beating a youtuber in that fashion after all the ‘you’re getting laid out’ talk. Again… this man thinks he’s a real boxer yet holds this ‘victory’ as some sort of achievement. If he realised his level i’d agree with those of you saying he was right to take the fight, but he believes he’s doing something great, he would do well to align his steps with his talk

I think you're maybe taking him on his word too strongly. He says he wants to be taken seriously as a boxer, because he's just earnt a fuck tonne of money because people think he's an actual boxer who wants to be taken seriously (and thought he'd absolutely batter Jake Paul), When what he actually is, is someone with a famous brother who has made decent money on Love Island and now realises he can make decent money in the clown boxing circus because....people think he's a boxer :D He's got no amateur career, the people he's fought professionally are literally the likes of Boxcar Bob and Boxcar Gerry and he's struggled against a few of them AND he decided his boxing career was so important that he binned off a year so he could go on Love Island. A smart agent...he has. A boxer he aint.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Yep.  Easy money that.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that you can earn that kinda money, for doing that kinda stuff, in this day and age.

The world is full of morons who lap this shit up!

I've even thought about starting my own Youtube channel where I unwrap and review kids toys  ;)

Are you his agent mate?  ;D

That's a solid business plan. As you say, he has no business trying to progress in the actual boxing field. The money he makes from those 3 handy bouts is far beyond what he would make as a pro. It is far beyond the vast majority of boxers would make, even long-term world champions. It is very sad when you think about it.

Agreed, he's smart enough to realise he isn't a good boxer and has gone down the lucrative route early... doesn't believe he can be a great at all, just talk and a big ploy from Tommy. He's playing a blinder, smart c*nt

I want to be taken seriously as a professional footballer but it’s not going to happen. He was paid just over £10k for his Taylor fight 2 fights ago, you’d be an idiot to turn down £4.5m to fight a YouTuber as oppose to another unknown ‘pro’ boxer for maybe £20-30k this time round.

His net worth before this fight was £1m, in 30 mins he’s quadrupled his worth, for someone like Tommy who isn’t going to be a good professional boxer it was a no brainier.

The fact that he’s so proud of beating a YouTuber just shows how shit he is and in reality he knew there was a chance of him losing. It doesn’t matter if he wants to be taken seriously as a pro boxer, he’s obviously a million miles away from being one. If any promoter thought he was that good then he would have been fighting other opponents and taken a different boxing route, he’s stealing a living off his brothers name.

The token belt is called the 'Diriyah Belt' named after the Riyadh region in which the fight took place.  It's already been renamed to the diarrhoea belt  ;D  Reminds me of when Everton won the Florida Cup on Penalties against the part-timers.

Tyson came out and said he'd like to see the rematch and then/or fight Logan Paul.  He obviously knows like everyone else that Tommy's best way to make money is to fight people off social media because he's not going to be able to climb up the professional ranks and do it that way.

Only concern is that it's in Jamaica and there is a non-zero chance of my man Toney trying to do the whole fight with a bifter in his mouth.

 Tommy Fury Vs KSI and Logan Paul Vs Dillon Danis this weekend

Usual WWE bollocks which included them getting into a plexiglass cage for a faceoff which ended with John Fury punching and headbutting the screen.

British Boxing Board of Control refused to sanction this as a professional bout as most of the the promoted guys there don't meet the standard of professional boxers.

They are deliberately courting the WWE style of it all hence all that theatrics during the 'weigh in'

£20.99 though on DAZN if anyone is interested

I'd rather flush £20.99 down the drain than give it to these idiots. Saw the weigh-in, absolute clown show and of course John Fury had to be at the centre of it all ::) It's crazy how all the Furys are tits, usually in a family there's only one tit and the rest are sound.
