Tommy Fury is once again in talks to fight one of the biggest sports personalities in the boxing business. After securing notable wins over influencer-turned-boxers, Fury is also looking to make a statement in the boxing world.
Tyson Fury’s brother has had 0 defeats till now, so far 10 victories from 10 bouts. Jake Paul is also one of the victims of Tommy, and so is KSI. Now Roy Jones Jr. is making his way into the center, looking to give fans one of the toughest competitions in terms of experience.
Roy Jones Jr. is in talks to fight Tommy Fury.
Roy Jones Jr. last fought in April of this year against former UFC champion Anthony Pettis. Jones Jr. has 66 professional career wins to his name, whereas Fury is on a 10-fight win streak. Recently, Jones was interviewed about his upcoming bout.
Roy told Casino Alpha, “we’re in talks, it’s being negotiated, it’s a really interesting fight because Tommy is inexperienced, and that’s balanced out by my age and experience; I’m a 55-year-old guy who can actually fight for real, and I’d be fighting a guy who’s not really that experienced, but who is built right and who can get the job done; it’s an even fight. If the money is right, it will be good, but if it’s not a crazy, astronomical amount of money, why would I do it?” via boxingscene.
Boxing fans mock Tommy Fury for fighting Roy Jones Jr.
As the 55-year-old boxing icon will be against the 24-year-old young boxer, this has triggered a social media battle between the fans. Earlier this year, Jake Paul called out Fury for the rematch. But this new matchup became the reason for social media mocking.
One fan actually questioned Fury about what he would get from this bout fighting against a 55-year-old.
After observing and analyzing the results of Tommy Fury, fans started to compare his boxing ethics with those of Jake Paul, asking to fight an actual boxer who is comparatively young and active.
After looking at the age difference, fans showed disappointment and asked to avoid watching the bout. Earlier, Tommy Fury and Tyson Fury’s father confirmed that his son and boxing legend are in talks for a potential bout. However, fans are disappointed with the upcoming bout.
