Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury betting preview
It is Jake Paul who has the more impressive record to date. While his 6-0 record is smaller than that of Fury’s, wins over former UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva show that the American is certainly not frightened by the big stage.
Having made his name on the Disney Channel and YouTube, Paul was long in the shadow of older brother Logan. However, Paul, nicknamed “The Problem Child” will be looking to further silence his critics in getting one over long-standing rival Fury.

Tommy Fury, half-brother of two-time heavyweight world champion Tyson, certainly has the pedigree. However, with his 8-0 record featuring successes over relatively unknown fighters, his true standing in the sport is yet to be established.
With Tommy having been threatened with everything from being disowned by his own family to walking away with no pay cheque, it is seemingly “all or nothing” for the 23-year-old. Only time will tell as to whether he can take the first of many steps required to emulate the success of his older sibling.
Paul’s last fight was a win via unanimous decision over Anderson Silva back in September 2022. Meanwhile, Fury overcame Daniel Bocianski on points at Wembley Stadium in April last year.
Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury best bets
Now that you have a better understanding of the two fighters, it is time to take a look at some of the best bets to consider for this weekend:
Bet 1: Jake Paul to Win @7/10 (888Sport) – Paul has already overcome high-profile opponents in the shape of UFC veterans Woodley and Silva. Therefore, it perhaps comes as little surprise that the American is the favourite to extend his record to 7-0.
Bet 2: Will the Fight Go the Distance – No @19/20 (BetUK) – Given the fact that Paul has never gone 8 rounds, it seems extremely unlikely that this will be the case on Sunday night. Therefore, betting on the fight ending early is an option well worth utilising.
Bet 3: Tommy Fury Round 7-8 @16/1 (Unibet) – Should the fight go to the final rounds, Fury’s greater boxing experience could be the difference. While Tommy has been learning his craft since a young age, Paul only took up boxing in 2018.
