In response, Fury mentioned that he is letting things take their course. He said, “You know, if the Jake Paul fight comes, it comes. You know that’s my mindset on that.”
He even mentioned that Paul would be an easy opponent, by saying, “You know I don’t need to train to beat him. He’s an easy touch.”
Fury goes on to say that if Paul wants to fight, it can be set with a single phone call. But, his current focus is on Saturday night, and only after that will he address ‘the Pauls of the world.’
