Boxing trainer John Fury has indicated that his son, Tyson Fury, will be moving from the ring to the corner this winter. During a recent interview, John Fury indicated that Tyson Fury will be a cornerman for his half-brother, Tommy Fury, as he fights Jake Paul.
“All it is with Tommy – he’s young, can he handle the big occasion on the night? But I’m sure he’s thought about it many times before and he’s got the king of the ring in his corner,” John Fury said, according to Boxing Scene.
“Tyson’s gonna be in his corner that night. I think Tyson’s flying out there in a few weeks to help him out. Whatever desire he’s missing, Tyson will put there, I’m sure of that.”
Tommy Fury enters the ring with a record of 7-0 with four knockouts. However, he looked unimpressive on the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley as he fought the outsized, inexperienced Anthony Taylor to a decision. His opponent, Jake Paul, didn’t look impressive in his last fight against Tyron Woodley either. With a record of 4-0, Paul looked fatigued and was hit cleanly in the later rounds of his last fight, but managed to pull out a decision victory.
“Tommy knows he’s up against a stacked deck, but he should still beat Jake Paul at a canter. And if he can’t, there’s no way in the boxing world for him,” Tommy Fury explained, according to Boxing Scene.
“It’s make or break, for both men, but it’ll hit Tommy harder because Tommy’s supposed to be a professional boxer. Tommy will work hard, he’ll do what he’s gotta do. Has Tommy got the skill to beat him? Yes. Has he got the power to knock him out? Yes.”
