Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury predictions

The upcoming fight between Paul and Fury has been dubbed ‘The Truth’, with much of the talk being around Paul’s boxer status. Heading into the fight, Paul has little to lose, while Fury’s status as a professional boxer will be seriously rocked if he were to taste his first defeat in Riyadh.

Fury comes from a strong boxing heritage and will represent that name on Sunday in Saudi Arabia. However, the fact that the odds favour Jake Paul suggests that people don’t have faith in him to deliver on the big stage. Paul can currently be found at 4/6 with 888sport.

Paul’s list of opponents so far consists of retired MMA stars, a basketball player, and a fellow Youtuber, while Tommy has an 8-0 record against fellow professional fighters. Fury also holds a reach advantage over his opponent and hopes to utilise that to take control of the fight.

Jake Paul will hope that his mind games have been effective in the lead-up to this showdown. Fury has remained largely silent in recent weeks, while Paul has used social media and press conferences to goad his opponent. ‘The Problem Child’ has stated that Fury has only ever fought lesser opponents and is nothing more than a glorified reality TV star living off his brother’s name and his wife’s bank account. A combined record of 24-176-5 for Fury’s previous opponents only adds to this. Fury will want to prove his doubters wrong, and he is available at 13/10 with 888sport.

Making a call on the fight is extremely difficult. Fury was a clear favourite when the fight was first announced, but in the time since, the bookies have decided to lean more towards Jake Paul. Despite the odds, a win from Paul would still be widely considered an upset on Sunday night, but we have a feeling we could see his name on the back pages Monday morning.

Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury betting tips

Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury, while not likely to be a boxing clinic, does promise plenty of entertainment. The fight has received much attention, and some entertaining betting markets are available. Below are three of the best bets you can place this weekend.

Jake Paul to Win by TKO/KO/DQ/Technical Decision at 49/20

The idea of Jake Paul beating Tommy Fury seemed insane a year ago, but a lot has changed in the past month, and there is now plenty of reason to believe Paul can pick up the W in Saudi Arabia this weekend.

The fight could go the distance and be decided on points, but we fancy Paul to pick up the win in the 10 rounds. He is available at 49/20 with 888sport to win via TKO/KO/DQ/Technical Decision.

Total Rounds Under 6.5 at 11/8

A lot of the smack-talk coming into the fight has been from Jake Paul’s assertation that Tommy can’t last the full 10 rounds.

Fury has won his previous eight fights, with the longest only going six rounds, while Paul has gone the distance on two occasions.

Paul’s fights against Anderson Silva and Tyrone Woodley both went to decision, though, these were both only eight rounds.

The heated nature of the fight and the attention that is on it will mean both men will want to score a decisive victory, and Fury will look to put Paul away as early as he can to settle any debate about the Youtuber’s status. The odds of the fight going under 6.5 rounds are currently 11/8 with Parimatch.

Jake Paul to Win in Round 4 at 18/1

This one is a little more fun. Jake Paul has spent the last week telling everybody that his intention is to knock Tommy out in the fourth round. Given the theatre that has taken place all around this fight, you really can’t rule out that happening.

Paul to win in the fourth round is currently at 18/1 with Parimatch and could be worth a small punt.
