Tyson Fury has no hard feelings for the 24-year-old Jake Paul, who is currently feuding with his brother Tommy Fury for a potential in-ring collision. Instead, ‘The Gypsy King’ believes Paul and his other associates are popularizing the sport of boxing before the mainstream audience. While most of the professional fighters will disagree, Tyson Fury has expressed his support towards the youngsters trying to make a name in combat.
‘The Gypsy King’ recently sat down with Lockdown to address several things about himself. While he was asked to comment views on Jake Paul’s surging rise, Fury applauded the 24-year-old without any hesitation. Interestingly, both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are in favor of Jake Paul’s improvement in the sport.
“Jake Paul is doing fantastic as well. He is bringing a lot of views to boxing and his brother and all these other guys who’s maybe the old-timers coming back and everybody. I really like it. A lot of people don’t like it. I think ‘it’s an insult to boxing ad you shouldn’t be famous or whatever’. I don’t know what to think, but I quite like it all to be fair,” said Tyson Fury.
