Liam Smith, the former WBO middleweight champion, has made a prediction for the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury. Liam Smith has a professional record of 33-3-1 and has fought against some of the best in the sport. He believes that Tommy Fury will come out on top in the highly anticipated matchup. Smith stated that while Paul may have some boxing skills, Fury is on a whole different level as a professional boxer.

Tommy, the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has a record of 8-0 and is considered one of the top prospects in the sport. Fury has had much more experience in the ring, having fought in numerous amateur and professional bouts.

The Arabian Assault: Paul and Fury’s Decisive Showdown

Paul and Tommy Fury have had multiple opportunities to face off in the ring, but circumstances have prevented their bouts from taking place. Initially, their match was scheduled for late 2021, but an injury sustained by Tommy Fury halted the fight.

Another attempt to schedule the fight was made for August 2022. However, Fury was unable to enter the United States due to legal issues. This led Paul to consider not facing him in the future. However, the two are now set to finally face each other in a “done deal” bout scheduled for February 25 in Saudi Arabia. Because of the past failures, people are still wondering if Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury will actually happen on 25 February.
