FIGHT PREDICTION

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will finally settle their highly-publicised grudge that has been played out on predominantly on social media. YouTube star Paul has done a solid job since becoming a pro boxer but many of his fights could well have been classed as exhibitions and this may end up being a step-up in class. Whether he is found out remains to be seen but Fury still has a lot to prove too. A good win over Daniel Bocianski in his last bout is the highlight of Fury’s career to date but this will be a challenge for the former Love Island contestant. There has been plenty of theatrics in the build-up to this event and many question its merits but if Paul wants to be taken seriously as a boxer, he has to win this and his slight height and reach advantage could prove to be enough to overcome Fury.
