YouTuber Paul has shared insults on social media with Love Island star Tommy
24-year-old Paul will fight former UFC wrestler Ben Askren on April 17th. Then a battle is built between the Love Island winner and the social media superstar.
And 32-year-old boxing purist Tyson, who claims he left his training camp because of a summer clash with Anthony Joshua and drank up to 12 pints a day, supports the celebrity junk.
The Gypsy King told IFL: “Jake Paul can fight. I think they have roughly the same experience.
“They both had a few professional fights, Tommy only had a few amateur fights.
“I think it would be an even fight to be fair.”

Tyson’s anger
21-year-old hunk Tommy has so far ripped off a number of journeymen in incongruous fights but has a mammoth thanks to his rugged looks and boy next door charm.
Paul, now a 2-0 pro boxer, has offered Conor McGregor around £ 45m in a clash and accused pound-for-pound boxing champion Canelo Alvarez of ducking against opponents.
A potential meeting between the two could attract large numbers of people as the worlds of social media, reality TV, and sports collide.
And WBC ace Fury – who rejected the idea of AJ being his next opponent – thinks it’s a fair fight.

He said, “How is Tommy going to smoke it in one round? The man is 6ft 1in, 185lbs, he can box and fight, we saw him knock people out and sparring in the gym.
“Some people can’t take out a journeyman who’s lost 50 times in a row, so it’s difficult to take out someone who wants to win.
“I think it’s going to be an interesting fight and I think it would be an interesting fight for boxing for sure because there are two celebrities fighting.”
