Tommy Fury showcases jab six days out from Jake Paul fight and fans are saying the same thing
Tommy Fury showcased his jab power in a video filmed just days before his showdown with bitter rival Jake Paul and boxing fans are saying the same thing.
The duo will finally settle their differences after years of build-up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 26 after two previous bouts fell through.
A personal blood feud from the off, there's a lot riding on this for both men. Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, has labelled his upcoming bout with Paul a "paid holiday".
And Fury's father, John, confirmed his son would be forced to retire if he lost to the YouTuber-turned-boxer, who is currently undefeated in his boxing career.

Just to show how crazy the whole thing is, the 'Problem Child' is actually the betting favourite, ahead of the career boxer, but Fury's jab is suggesting something else, as you can see in the video below.
"He could use that jab all night long and break Jake's orbital if he wanted," one fan said.
"Can’t believe bookies have Jake Paul as favourite," a second added after watching the video.
Another fan had obviously listened to those setting the odds, but is having a change of heart, replying, "Oh uhhhhh.... Can I change predictions?"
A fourth supporter is looking forward to Fury's power ending the fight, posting, "Can’t wait to see Jakey fast asleep on the canvas."
"Tommy's gonna send him to the floor just by poking Jake on the nose," opined another.
And a final fan summed up the feeling towards Fury, saying, "Think people underestimating Tommy, and I don't mean just off this video."
The former Love Islander isn't the only one who has impressed on video recently, with a clip of his upcoming opponent also going viral.
It shows the difference in skills of the American in the last few years, as he has transformed from an actor on the Disney Channel to one of the most recognisable boxers in the sport.
Obviously his previous opponents haven't been that recognisable when it comes to fighting people who are actually boxers, even if several have been big names in MMA.
However, a win over Fury will actually give him a world ranking, and that could mean a future world title shot, what a scary world we live in.
