- Tommy Fury has pulled out of the fight against Jake Paul
Paul, the YouTube sensation from Love Island 2019, was all set to take on the 2019 Love Island star.
Fury was devastated when he was forced to leave with a chest infection, broken rib and a sore throat.
Paul will now face Tyron Woodley, whom he defeated in August. But Mangushev would like to see the celebrity grudge match rescheduled.
SunSport spoke with him: "I hope this fight will happen. I sparred against Tommy, he's a very powerful boxer.
"Tommy is a real fighter. He is not a showman. Jake Paul could have lost this fight.
"He would have been knocked cold. Tommy is a dangerous fighter.
Paul, 24 years old, is preparing for his third consecutive pay per view headliner and fourth fight within 13 months. This period has been a highlight of his career, which has brought a lot of attention to the sport.
Mangushev (23 years old) said that Jake is a strong person and he should be treated with respect. To step into the ring alongside professional fighters, it takes a real man.
He is a credit to the boxing world for attracting so much attention and support to professional boxing. Boxing is the king of all sports.
Paul beat YouTuber "AnEsonGib", ex-NBA star Nate Robinson (37), and Ben Askren (37).
His biggest victory was against Woodley (39), in eight rounds. It was the night Fury, 22, defeated Anthony Taylor (32) and became Fury's sparring partner.
It was the one that set up the mega-fight. Paul would have faced his first opponent who had previous professional boxing experience.
Woodley has now been able to redeem himself after Fury's withdrawal. Woodley had failed to complete the job three months ago.
Mangushev said that Woodley was an experienced fighter and would most likely alter his strategy to be more cautious.
"He will defend himself better. Despite the fact that this fight was given so quickly, I doubt we will see a knockout.
Fury will now be out of work until March, and could miss out on the huge payday and limelight if Paul refuses ever to negotiate with him.
Mangushev, however, has supported the former reality TV star in his efforts to come back and fulfill his promise.
He stated that Tommy has a tremendous boxing potential and will surely realize it. He is part of the great boxing family.
"Tommy is strong mentally and physically, but he's also very talented. He is constantly striving to be a better person.
"Tommy is an excellent and smart boxer. He has good physical traits, as well as speed and timing.
"I believe that he will gain more experience by fighting more people and become better.
