Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will finally throw down at the end of the month
The boxing world is divided over who will win the fight
But Irish boxing great Barry McGuigan reckons Paul will win the Saudi showdown
YouTuber turned boxer Paul’s lack of experience in the sport has led many to believe Fury, the brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson, will do the business in the Diriyah dust-up.
But McGuigan reckons Fury’s immaturity and lack of progression will be his undoing against The Problem Child.
The former WBA featherweight champion told Pro Boxing Fans: “I think Jake Paul is clever.
“He picks guys that he knows he can beat. He is the firm favourite in the fight.
“Tommy Fury’s a talented kid, but he’s too immature and too underdeveloped at this stage.
“I pick Paul as the winner, but it could be a decent enough fight.”
Matchroom Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn initially tipped Paul to get the job done but has since changed his stance.
The 43-year-old told Boxing UK: “I’m quite looking forward to it.

“I did think that Jake Paul would win the fight, but I think I’ve changed my mind.
“It’s a 50/50 though which is a little bit worrying in itself.”
Despite being written off by many, Fury is adamant he’ll get the better of Paul, telling MMA Fighting: “Things have got in the way the previous two times.
“Things well out of my control. A broke[n] rib and everything else that was wrong with the first fight.
“The second fight, denied entry into the U.S. Third fight, here we are.
“Three times is a charm and we’re seeing that.
“We’re two weeks out. I’m ripped, I’m ready, I’m fit, I’m strong.
“And I’ve got more in the tank than what it takes to beat Jake Paul. Don’t worry about that.”
