‘Average’ Boxer Jake Paul Still Too Much for Tommy Fury

The YouTube and internet sensation Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by surprise. The Ohio-born fighter is undefeated in his professional career and has knocked out almost every single opponent he has faced. However, British promoter Eddie Hearn doesn’t believe Paul is a very good boxer.

During an interview with FightJoe, Hearn expressed his opinion on Jake Paul going up against Tommy Fury and who would come out victorious in that battle.

Eddie Hearn does not think Tommy Fury can beat Jake Paul

The YouTube star is stepping back into the squared circle in August this year. However, who will go up against Paul is still a mystery. Still, the rumors are that fans can finally witness Tommy Fury take on ‘The Problem Child’.

Eddie Hearn claimed that if this fight happens, the outcome wouldn’t be great for Fury. He doesn’t believe Fury has what it takes to defeat Paul. He said, “Terrible for Tommy Fury if he can’t beat Jake Paul. But I don’t think he can beat Jake Paul.” Recently Hearn has called Paul an “average” boxer which the YouTuber-turned-boxer did not appreciate.

However, the British promoter did not mean to disrespect him. In this interview, he elaborated, “I don’t mean that disrespectfully by the way there’s a lot of average boxers. Average is not bad, and it’s not good so I said to Jake Paul I actually think it’s a compliment to you I’m not saying you are a terrible boxer. I’m just saying you’re not very good and same advice to Tommy Fury.”

Who has had a better boxing career: Paul or Fury?

Both fighters remain undefeated in their young careers as they boast a perfect record. Fury has fought more opponents as he has been a professional boxer for two more years than Paul.

Although Jake Paul has more deadly knockout power as he knocked out all 4 of his opponents, which included UFC fighters like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Regardless, if this fight does come to fruition, the boxing fans will be in for a thrilling bout. Just as Hearn said, it will be “50-50.”
