‘He wins and he gets world-class attention’ Johnny Nelson makes a wild prediction ahead of Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul

In the field of martial arts, fame and dignity often trump money and fame for fighters who are truly committed to the sport. It is precisely this point that makes the matchup between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul so confusing, as there is honor to be won but also a lot of money at stake. Johnny Nelson has a wild choice for the winner of this fight.

The former cruiserweight champion had this to say: “You know what? I will say something here. I think Jake Paul is not a bad fighter. I think Jake Paul beats Tommy Fury. It’s going to be hard to swallow, but he’s one of those YouTubers that you have to respect and think he’s doing his job, he’s fighting, he’s winning and he’s getting world-class attention.”

How justified are Jonny Nelsons’ claims about Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul?

First of all, we have to remember that the fight was scheduled twice already and Tommy Fury was in fact the one who pulled out both times. Once he named reasons for injury, the other time passport problems. Jake Paul probably should have been the one to fear a “legitimate” boxer, but “TNT” always seems to run into problems.

The aforementioned issue isn’t helped by the fact that Tommy Fury has already admitted to starting the fight for money. He’s married and having a child, so he can definitely use the money he would get if, say, a secret contract was signed to make up for the loss.

Jake hasn’t hesitated to make things personal by taking care of the Fury family. On the other hand, both Tyson and John made big predictions about this fight and issued stern warnings to both fighters. Tommy also didn’t show up in the pre-fight post conferences, which is a controversial move.

In closing, we hope Tommy takes this fight seriously as this fight could decide or destroy his career.
