Tommy Fury Explains Why He Didn’t Show Up To Press Conference, Vows To KO Jake Paul
Tommy Fury is confident he will KO Jake Paul and reassures everyone the fight will take place.
Fury recently did not show up to the press conference in Saudi Arabia to promote his fight against Paul. Immediately, many wondered if Fury would pull out again as he did withdraw from the first two fights, but the Brit reassures everyone, the fight will happen on February 26.
“I can clear that up in two seconds,” Fury said to MMAFighting. “Basically, Jake Paul signed up into the world of professional boxing and I am a professional athlete, a professional boxer. I always have been and [ask] any professional boxer and they’ll tell you this — no one breaks camp, mid to the end [of training camp] to fly all the way to Saudi Arabia, have a 10 minute press conference, fly all the way back to Manchester, complete my camp then fly all the way back to Saudi Arabia again the following week. Now why the press conference couldn’t wait until a week later on fight week is beyond me. Most big fights, they schedule press conferences on fight week. I don’t know what is going on there.”
Although press conferences are important to hype an upcoming fight, Tommy Fury says he doesn’t care about that. Instead, he says all he cares about is KO’ing Jake Paul and ending his boxing career.
“I don’t know if he’s trying to play mind games or anything but that’s definitely not how it works,” Fury said. “One man’s flying all over the globe, trying to get in the glitz and glamour, press conferences, whatever else, and one man’s in the gym training to annihilate this man. So I think the proof is in the pudding. You can see who the professional athlete is. I’m not interested in press conferences. I’m interested in completing my camp, which has been the best camp of my career and I’m ready to KO this man and get him out of the sport.”
If Fury does beat Paul, it has been reported that the American has an immediate rematch clause so he will likely need to do it twice.
