On the surface, it would appear that Jake Paul’s lack of experience as a professional boxer is holding him back, but the YouTube star has been handed ‘favourite’ status by bookmakers ahead of tonight’s long-awaited bout with Tommy Fury.

What The Bookmakers Are Saying
According to the latest odds courtesy of BetUK, Jake Paul is the surprising favourite ahead of Sunday night at 8/13 despite having never fought against a legitimate pro boxer. Bettors have been quick to snap up the value in Tommy Fury, and much of the public betting has swung in his favour.
Although it is unclear how this fight may unfold given Paul’s relatively short career up to this point, they share an identical record of four knockouts, which is reflected in the method of victory markets with Fury to win by KO, TKO or DQ priced at 7/4, while the same for Paul is set at a not too dissimilar 7/5.
Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury: Records Compared
Jake Paul has enjoyed a meteoric rise as a boxer thanks in no small part to his social media and YouTube ventures, but this latest bout could perhaps define his future as a professional fighter.
Indeed, he has proven himself against Olympic mixed martial arts competitor Ben Askren, as well as seasoned UFC veterans Tyron Woodley and most recently Anderson Silva, although none of these opponents have the same boxing background as Tommy Fury.
Nevertheless, he has a 100% record up to this point, which features four wins by way of knockout including a devastating blow to floor Woodley in their rematch at the end of 2021. He has the power and speed to cause any fighter real problems, but question marks remain whether he has the capacity to firstly, compete with someone similar in age, and secondly, go toe-to-toe with a legitimate pro boxer.
RELATED: Comparing The Boxing Career Earnings Of Jake Paul and Tommy Fury
In the other corner, Tommy Fury possesses the boxing know-how which many observers believe should have him pegged as the firm favourite, contrary to the bookmaker’s current estimations.
The Brit is still in relative infancy when it comes to his boxing career, and is yet to be recognised as a true up-and-coming competitor that can make inroads for a belt. The majority of his matches have been against limited opponents, much like the one fast approaching this weekend, but with a WBA world ranking on the line here, this fight has the potential to either propel Fury forward into stardom, or make a mockery of all of his life’s work in one fell swoop.
With eight straight victories and four knockouts, plus considerably more experience than Paul, the public appear to be siding with Fury according to the latest betting percentages, with well over half of the money placed so far siding with the 23-year-old.
