TOMMY FURY has revealed he thinks rival Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against “legend” Mike Tyson is “not safe” and “stupid”.
Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury and former Love Island star, is currently 10-0 as an undefeated boxer.
Jake Paul’s clash with Mike Tyson was postponed due to the legendary heavyweight falling ill
Tommy Fury insists he has no interest in the fight
Paul was handed the only loss of his career by Fury in February 2023, despite knocking down the Brit in the final round.
Since then, the two have had an ongoing feud, with Jake consistently asking for a rematch against the only man to have beaten him.
However, his next fight is against boxing legend Tyson, which Fury has exclusively spoken to SunSport about.
He said: “It’s a 60-year-old against a prime 27-year-old, it’s stupid. I’m not interested in that fight one bit.
“[The] man is 60 years old, you’re not what you were.”
Fury’s claims that the fight is “not safe” have some credibility as the fight was recently pushed back and rescheduled after a health scare for Tyson on board a flight.
The scare was revealed as an ulcer flare-up, with a top doctor recommending he postpone the fight and take four to five weeks of rest to recover properly.
However, Iron Mike himself claims to be in the best shape he has been in since the 1990s and insisted after the incident he was 100 per cent ready to take on Paul.
Tyson vs Paul has now been re-scheduled for November 15 and will take place in Texas.
As for Fury, he was speaking exclusively to SunSport ahead of his next big event – Soccer Aid at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Fury will feature for the World XI, playing alongside the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd legends Eden Hazard and Patrice Evra, as well as Olympic hero Usain Bolt.
