‘I’ve got a lot of money on it!’ – Tyson Fury places huge bet on brother Tommy to emphatically knock out Jake Paul
TYSON FURY is confident that his brother Tommy will deliver the goods against Jake Paul this Sunday.
So much so, that he has placed a large bet on his bro to do the business.
Tommy TNT will finally fight The Problem Child this weekend in Saudi Arabia, after two previous dates fell through.
And such is Tyson’s belief in his sibling, that he has decided to put his money where his mouth is.
Chatting to Queensbury Promotions, Fury admitted: “I’ve got a lot of money on it that says it does, so there we are.”
Asked why it’s such a huge occasion, the WBC heavyweight champ added: “It’s a big fight because it’s two big talkers I suppose.
“Going at it, grudge match, whatever you want to call it – throwing it all down – whatever.”
Further quizzed if he’s proud of his little brother, he continued: “Very. To be here being paid millions of pounds on the world’s biggest stage at whatever he is, 23-years-old, newborn baby…
“He’s got it all going on. He’s rolling deep isn’t he? Rolling in G-Wagons, Rolexes… it’s like a dream come true for him.
“I’m very proud of what he’s done and that’s why we’re all here. All the boys have come over to support him in his conquest of smashing Jake Paul’s face in.”

Matchroom supremo Eddie Hearn also thinks Fury will win… despite labelling the calibre of his previous opponents as “terrible”.
Chatting to Boxing Social, Hearn said: Tommy’s resume is awful. Awful. So bad.”
He then continued: “Probably the worst 8-0 resume I’ve ever seen. Terrible.
“But, by the way, he’s won every fight easy. So it’s not like he’s struggled against anyone. But genuinely, the level of opposition, they’re honestly so bad.
“Jake Paul has a better boxing resume than Tommy Fury, which is disgusting.
“But I just feel that if Tommy Fury let’s his hands go and goes in there and boxes neat and smart, he’ll stop him.”
