Light heavyweight prospect Tommy Fury revealed that his older brother, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, will be front and center on February 26 – when the younger Fury faces Youtube star turned boxer, Jake Paul.
The event will take place in Saudi Arabia.
Paul has predominately faced MMA veterans in boxing matches.
Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) is the first actual boxer that Paul (6-0, 4 KOs) will face in the squared circle.
The unbeaten prospect expects to have a lot of support on foreign soil – including the entire Fury family.
“Everybody’s going to be out in Saudi. We’re coming with everybody. Tyson’s going to be there, all my brothers, everyone you’re used to seeing on fight night on the cameras on TV, they’ll all be there with me in Saudi Arabia. We’re all here, we’re all as one team and we’re ready to get the job done,” Fury told The Sun.
Fury has taken plenty of notes from watching his older brother perform in the ring and in the gym.
He believes his skills will be far too much for Paul to contend with.
“It’s absolutely amazing, I can’t say anything but. To have the heavyweight champion of the world – and in my opinion the best fighter ever – it’s amazing. What more can I say about it? Whatever problem I have in this game I can always go to him. He’s always going to be there, he’s always going to be there right with me,” Fury said.
“I think we all know Tyson by now – and my dad – we all know how to sell pay-per-views, we all know how to hype a fight. I think that’s all that is really. My dad and Tyson both know what’s going to happen in this fight, Tyson’s been there ever since I started boxing, so has my dad. They know what I’m capable of, they know what my opponent is capable of and it’s going to be quite an easy night’s work.”
