JAKE PAUL believes boxing is dying slowly due to a lack super-fights. He thinks Tyson Fury may be partly to blame.
Fans of boxing around the globe are eagerly awaiting legacy fights between Anthony Joshua, Fury, Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford.
Boxing fans still hope for a big fight between Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua.
YouTuber Jake Paul accused Fury, accusing him of being afraid to face Joshua
Some fans have turned off the sport because of the lack of unification or undisputed bouts.
Paul, a YouTuber and boxer, believes that the collapse of Fury against Joshua - which he attributes to the former - is a sign of the sport's problems.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour he stated that boxing was a dying sport prior to my arrival and that he saved the sport almost entirely by himself.
"F***ing Tyson Fury is afraid to fight Anthony Joshua. Fury is afraid to face Oleksandr Usyk.
"This is why boxing has fallen, because mandatory fights aren’t necessary."
Paul, 25 years old, is preparing for a fight with Hasim Rahman Jr., a late replacement of Tommy Fury on August 6.
However, a last-minute purse request from Gold Blooded, the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Sr, is about to endanger the bout.
The Problem Child stated that "None of these men really want to fight." This is what I'm going to discover.
"Hasim Rahman Jr is currently trying to renegotiate the contract.
He signed a contract last Friday for 10x more than he has ever received for any of his fights. Now, fast forward one week and he is trying to renegotiate.
He's trying to get more money out of the fight. He's doing everything he can to claw for the money. I believe he is aware of the potential consequences. He's afraid to fight me.
"A lot of these guys get excited about the money, but when it comes to training and getting into camp they all give up.
"Who knows if this fight will even happen?"
