UFC legend Bas Rutten has offered to coach Tommy Fury for his grudge match with Jake Paul.
Fury will be without the services of dad John for his August dust-up with the YouTuber as his long-time trainer is banned from entering the USA due to his criminal conviction for gouging a man’s eye out.

The Love Islander won’t have brother Tyson or dad John in his corner for the fight
And former UFC heavyweight champ Bas Rutten has offered to train Tommy for the grudge match
Brother Tyson also won’t be in the Love Island hunk’s corner as he’s twice been denied entry to the States due to his “involvement” with alleged Irish mob boss Daniel Kinahan, which has prompted Rutten to offer his services.
The former UFC heavyweight champion said: “I would love to train Tommy Fury, are you kidding?
“S**t, for the Fury family; I love Tyson. Major fan of this guy and I think [that] we can do some damage.
“Yeah, it would be great. I’ll be in the corner. Yeah, at least he has a cornerman.”

El Guapo would school the youngest Fury brother in his patented wide stance that brought him great success in his legend mixed martial arts career.
He said: “I have a different style, it’s more of an open stance. And I think a lot of people are really not reactive to it.
“Tyson used to fight like that and was very effective with it.
“It gives you almost equal power in both left and right hands.”

Tommy has yet to engage Paul in the one-sided war of words instigated by the social media sensation after the announcement of their MSG melee.
But Rutten believes he’d be wise to try to verbally dent his fellow novice’s supreme confidence.
He said: “I think if he can get inside his head and show a few things that I had and that I was very successful with against really good boxers in Holland.
“Then a guy like that who has already picked up really great boxing while he picks that up really fast and he’s going to use that to his advantage.”

Rutten’s services will unlikely be taken up by Tommy as he’s reportedly decided to link up with Shane McGuigan for his clash with Paul.
Neither man, however, has officially confirmed the reported partnership.
