Mike Tyson
The former heavyweight world champion told Boxing Social: “I never saw Fury fight. I don’t know — I don’t think he’s gonna be able to beat Jake Paul.
“Jake Paul, he’s getting better and better as he fights, and I don’t know if they brought him here to lose. So, we’re gonna find out.”
John Fury
Tommy's father was firm in his support for his son, telling talkSPORT: “This is feeding time for Tommy. Tommy will destroy Jake Paul, he’ll be laughing when he’s going to the ring, because it’s easy money. Easy fighting.
“We’ve done our hard work in the gym, back here in Bolton. We’ve done the work; we’ve done the grind. Nine weeks, over 100 rounds of sparring, with good class men who can fight.
KSI
The YouTuber is friends and business partner of Paul's older brother, Logan and unsurprisingly backed the American, he said: "I do see Jake Paul winning but I think it's going to be a bit of a boring fight because both fighters are very standoffish.
"Jake is a lot more of a counter puncher and Tommy is also like that. So two counter punches are just going to be staring at each other, maybe it'll take a few rounds to get into it."
Eddie Hearn
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn is not promoting the fight but did have his say on how he thinks it would pan out, telling Boxing Social: “I think Jake Paul has absolutely no chance to win this fight at all. If Tommy Fury comes out aggressively and puts it on Jake Paul, this fight will not go two rounds.
"Tommy Fury knows how to punch correctly, he knows how to fight. But if he dithers around and just boxes with him, to be fair anything could happen."
Tyson Fury
Fury revealed his younger brother's punching power and confirmed his confidence by revealing a bet he has made on Tommy, telling iFL TV: "Tommy knocks out 90 per cent of people that he spars with or drops them at least, so he's a very hard puncher and Jake Paul will find that out tomorrow. I've got 100 racks on it for an inside the distance stoppage, so if he loses, then I'll lose 100 bags as well. I've got him at 3-1."
