JAKE PAUL has been backed to make easy work of Tommy Fury inside three rounds by a fighter who has shared the ring with BOTH rivals.
Fury is in line to receive a THIRD contract to fight Paul, having twice pulled out of their pay-per-view headliners in the past.
Anthony Taylor is in the rare position of having boxed the pair of celebrity stars.
He was Paul’s previous sparring partner while losing a four-round decision on the YouTuber’s undercard to Fury, 23, last year.
And with talk of a grudge match being rescheduled for 2023, Taylor, 33, sees only one winner.
He told SunSport: “Tommy has no chance. Jake Paul knocks him out, third round.
âTommy is slow, he doesnât have no power, he has no pop in him, Iâve felt his power.
âIâm a tough dude, Iâm a realist and Iâve always been consistent, Tommy doesnât have the power.
âJake Paul is just going to outwork Tommy. If you notice, Tommy likes to avoid the longer rounds, Tommy has been doing four rounds.
âHe avoids eight rounds, he doesnât do them. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jake says, âWeâre going to fight, but itâs going 12 rounds.â

âTommy is going to be like, âNah, Iâm OK.â I do think Jake should fight Tommy over ten rounds, to be honest.
âThatâs fair since Tommy f****d over Jake twice, he should take on the financial responsibility of the fight and make it a ten-round fight.â
Fury first withdrew against Paul, 25, last December with a rib injury, causing Tyron Woodley, 40, to step in and lose by knockout.
The pair then renegotiated terms for August but the 2019 Love Islander suffered a US visa issue, which still persists currently.
Paul instead returned in October and beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, his biggest win to date.
And now it is Fury’s turn as he faces 5-2 American Paul Bamba, 33, on Sunday in Dubai, falling on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard.
Paul will be in attendance with Taylor also in action against another reality TV star in Jack Fincham, 31.
But the former MMA champion wanted to rematch Fury – and dared his former opponent to try and get a KO this time.
Taylor said: âTommy doesnât want to fight me again.
“Tommy wants to fight Jake Paul, but Jake had to fight Tyron Woodley twice because Tommy backed out.
âWhy canât I get my rematch? Who are you to tell me I canât get a rematch? He wants to fight bums.
âNo disrespect to Paul Bamba, heâs a bum and thatâs just how it is.
“Tommy, fight a real fighter. Finish what you started. Give me my redemption fight.â
