Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are set to face off in the boxing ring in February. However, it sounds like a former UFC champ isn’t a fan of Fury.
During a discussion talking about the Fury brothers, Tyron Woodley praised Tyson Fury while shading his younger brother.
According to MMA Fighting, Woodley believes Fury “just comes off as a pretty boy.” He goes on to claim that Tommy basically fights to look good rather than win the fight.

We have to imagine that this is music to Jake Paul’s ears. Especially considering how much trash he’s talked to the Fury family in recent years.
Even so, it’s kind of odd for Woodley to throw shade at Tommy Fury. Comparing him to his brother is kind of insane. That’d be like comparing Aaron Rodgers with Tua Tagovailoa.
They are both in completely different places in their career. Regardless, this is just more fuel added to the fire for Fury’s upcoming bout against Jake Paul.
Additionally, fans don’t seem to enjoy hearing Tyron Woodly bash Tommy Fury either.

This brawl has been in the works for a long time coming. Although it’s set to take place on February 26, many fight fans believe Tommy Fury could drop out again.
If that’s the case, then Jake Paul already has a replacement in former UFC star Mike Perry. So, keep an eye out for any announcements as everything hangs in the air for now.
