For much of his fledgling boxing career, social media content creator turned boxer Jake Paul has been criticized for not actually having fought a boxer. He's fought another YouTuber, a retired NBA player, and three MMA fighters (with two bouts against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley). His last fight was a win over a 47-year-old Anderson Silva.
So Paul is promoting Sunday's bout against Tommy Fury in Diriyah Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as a turning point in his career. He's worked hard with trainers B.J. Flores and Danny Smith in an attempt to turn himself into a legitimate boxer.But fighting Fury, the half-brother of lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, won't do it.
And you may remember the shootout between Fury and Przemyslaw Binienda, whom Fury stopped in 1:02 of the first. It wasn't Marvelous Marvin Hagler versus Thomas Hearns, but this kind of matchmaking has been a theme of Fury's career. Binienda was 0-26 going into that. Making this bout an even bigger farce is that the WBC is going to give Paul a ranking in its Top 30 for having beaten a YouTuber, a retired NBA player and three MMA fighters if he gets past"real boxer" Fury.
