Logan Paul questions Tommy Fury’s post-victory celebration
In conversation, the older Paul voiced his faith in his brother’s pugilistic prowess. Fury had an exuberant celebration post his victory. And Paul felt that this might have cemented his brother’s notoriety as a behemoth in the world of boxing.
Talking about Fury’s victory, he said, “Like congrats to Fury. He’s great. But, did Tommy really win? Technically yeah, but like you’re gonna celebrate that? You’re supposed to kill this YouTuber. And he took you eight rounds and dropped.”
He further added, “Like congrats, but I don’t know. Are you satisfied? Because as a boxer, I don’t know if that would do it for me. On paper, you got a congrats. But, you celebrated like you won a World Cup.”
Paul also made it a point to tell his brother that he has a bright future in the sport of boxing.
Absolutely spot on, according to fans
Fans were in agreement with Paul’s statement about Fury’s celebration. Many of them even took to social media to share their thoughts about the same.
Absolutely spot on. Many people including myself refused to call him a pro boxer before this Tommy fight.

A few fans felt that Paul made a very valid point. Moreover, user @RashCentral7 even mentioned that many people refused to believe that the younger Paul was a real boxer until the Fury fight.
He’s right. If Tommy celebrating like that over a YouTuber, he deffo can’t compete with the top boxer 💯

Similarly, user @loyal_2_footbal also questioned Fury’s celebrations after the fight.
Love the fact people don’t understand that Tommy is still a novice boxer, had the weight of the boxing world on his shoulders. He loses his career and boxing could be tarnished. He wins and he’s still being mocked. Give the lad a break he did he job, won and had a kid 3 weeks ago
