Tommy Fury said: ‘I am in boxing and have goals to be a world champion, so if I am to do that, I can’t be dodging people like Jake Paul. Believe you me the past two fights didn’t happen because of it being out of my hands.
‘Third time’s a charm and we’re here. I’m in super fit condition and I am ready to go and put this all to bed.
‘For the last two-and-a-half years all it has been is, ‘when are you fighting Jake Paul?’ and to even mention my name in the same sentence as that is disrespectful to me who has been boxing my whole life. I am going to clinically knock this guy out early.’
Jake Paul said: ‘He is a good boxer, I give him that credit. He is fast, he has got length and is strong. He looks like the Michelin man or something, but there’s nothing he can do to stop me.
‘He doesn’t have power. He couldn’t knock Daniel Bocianski, or knock out the taxi drivers he has been put in there with. He has never been put in there with someone who wasn’t there to lose.’
