Tyson Fury has one-word verdict for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight haters

Tyson Fury, the two-time heavyweight world champion, has hailed the upcoming bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul as a ‘fantastic event. ‘ The boxing world has been divided since the announcement of the fight, with many critics voicing their disapproval.

Prominent promoter Eddie Hearn has been particularly vocal, stating his intention to support Katie Taylor at the AT&T Stadium for her highly anticipated rematch against Amanda Serrano before making an exit before Tyson and Paul take centre stage. “We received a massive offer for Katie. I’m not going to tell her she’s not allowed to fight on that card,” Hearn explained to BBCSport.”Financially it’s the biggest purse of her career. I won’t be watching the main event. We’ll be there defending the belts, and then I’ll be off.”

Despite the backlash, Fury stands out as one of the few figures in boxing who is looking forward to the event, suggesting that detractors are simply ‘jealous’. “I think it’s a fantastic event. Anyone who don’t think it’s a fantastic event is jealous,” he shared with ProBoxingFans.

Fury opened up about the much-anticipated event featuring Tyson and Paul, suggesting any criticism is likely fuelled by jealousy from those not involved financially. “Mainly people who ain’t getting paid from it will be jealous, obviously, because it’s not them. So, they’d probably speak bad about it. But, obviously, I’m not involved in it, I’m not getting paid from it, but I can see a massive event on a large scale when I see it and I can appreciate that. I appreciate Mike performing at his age and I appreciate Jake performing and bringing so many eyeballs to boxing.”, he said.
Ahead of his bout with Oleksandr Usyk back in May, Fury praised the upcoming fight which is to be live-streamed on Netflix. “Only jealous fighters [feel weird about the showdown],” he remarked. “Negative people who are not making any money.
