Paul’s next fight has been confirmed for August 6 at Madison Square Garden, and although an opponent has not yet been named, Fury’s name will certainly be in the mix. The fight was announced by the 25-year-old on social media. He tweeted: “We going back to back. New York. MSG. Two main events. Showtime PPV. It gets no bigger, it gets no better.”
Both competitors are currently undefeated and Hearn told Fury it would be very disappointing if he is unable to hand the YouTuber his first loss. However, the promoter thinks both men have the same chance of winning the fight because of their inexperience.
“It’s a 50-50 fight, It’s a funny one because it’s terrible for Tommy Fury if he can’t beat Jake Paul, but I don’t think he can beat Jake Paul,” Hearn told JOE. “Jake Paul didn’t like the fact that I said he was average, but they are both average.
