Tommy Fury, going back to the squared circle this weekend in Dubai, has a message for competitor Jake Paul — who is anticipated to be ringside — you much better not step foot in the ring, otherwise.
23-year-old Fury, a best 8-0 as a professional fighter, is the co-main occasion on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji card … decreasing Saturday from Dubai (DAZN PPV). Tommy’s handling Paul Bamba, an American fighter from New York City, who gets in the ring with a 5-2 record.
Speaking of going into the ring … that’s something Fury alerts Jake he needs to refrain from doing.
“I’m not bothered if [Jake’s] at ringside, anyone’s at ringside. KSI, Jake Paul, whoever’s there, I’m not interested cause my full focus is on Paul Bamba and when I beat Paul Bamba and I come through him, then I’ll revert my attention to them at ringside. But until then, it’s Paul Bamba, he’s got my full attention on Sunday night.”
“But, if they are there, better not get into the ring after the fight ’cause I’ll be nice and warmed up, put it that way,” Fury warned.
As for the battle … Tommy states Bamba isn’t much of a risk to him.
“Paul Bamba presents a challenge in he’s southpaw. But apart from that, that’s pretty much it.”
“I mean he’s knocked a few people out at super middleweight. He’s not the biggest light heavyweight that’s out there. At the end of the day I’ve been sparring southpaws this whole camp. I been sparring the best southpaw in the world in Tyson, so there’s not a lot that I’m not prepared for.”
Of course, Tommy’s bro is Tyson Fury … the very best heavyweight fighter on the planet, and among the best ever.
“I been sparring Tyson, I been sparring heavyweights, middleweights for speed, I’ve covered every box, so on fight night, there’s no good building it up in the head about something it’s not. It’s another day in the gym because I’ve sparred better people than this man.”
And, Fury informs us he’s pumped to combat on the exact same card as 50-0 Mayweather … who’s boxing KSI’s bro in an exhibit.
“It’s a dream come true for me. I mean, never in my life did I think I’d be co-main event to a Floyd Mayweather fight. Now I can say that. I can tick it off the box. it is a dream come true for me.”
