The Fury camp have sent out their share of warnings too though. In an angry video message, Tommy’s father John said: “You think Tommy is not going to show up, you’re going to be very disappointed and mistaken. We’re one million per cent going to be there. We can’t wait to get this fight done with you.”
He added Paul had no chance of prevailing, adding: “Be prepared to be taken out that ring on a stretcher my friend, that’s what’s happening to you. You’ve got no chance at all, I don’t give you any chance whatsoever. Not even a remote chance or a puncher’s chance.”
