Moreover, Paul also posted a lengthy video on Youtube sharing his thoughts on Fury and how he will be the toughest challenge of his career.

He says, “All jokes aside this has been my toughest test yet, you guys wanted me to fight a boxer you guys have been tormenting me day in and day out find a real boxer the answer is no f*****g problem as far as real boxers this is as real as it gets Tommy Fury comes from a legendary bloodline of fighters who were mauling people since they were born.”

A fight between the two has been a long time in the making as they were scheduled to face off the back in 2021. But the fight was canceled due to Fury pulling out. Now the two will settle their differences in the square ring in August. Paul will come into this fight with a record of 5-0, winning his last fight against former UFC welterweight champion Tyrone Woodley.
Fury on the other hand will also come into this fight with an undefeated record of 8-0 with a decision victory over Daniel Bocianski. Moreover, he will also come into this fight as the favorite to win and is certainly the toughest challenge in Paul’s boxing career.
