GEORGE KAMBOSOS JR spoke with Jake Paul and warned ‘he’s in a tough fight’ against Tommy Fury.
Paul faces Fury over eight rounds at a 192lb catchweight bout on December 18 in Florida.
And he recently chatted with newly crowned lightweight champion Kambosos, 28, over FaceTime after the Australian stunned Teofimo Lopez, 24, in New York.
Kambosos told Helen Yee: “He was so excited, obviously I was excited to chat with him.
“He is a global star, and I gave him a few tips on his fight just believing you know no matter what, because he is in a tough fight as well.
“And a lot of people are saying that he might not be able to win this fight. Like they were saying with me.
“But if you believe in yourself, you can achieve everything.”
In Paul’s first three fights, he beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
But in August, the American improved to 4-0 with a win over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39.
On the undercard, Fury, 22, beat Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, to move to 7-0 and set up the mega-fight.
Kambosos added: “I think it’ll be a good fight, I think it’ll be a great fight and I think, he’s [Paul] very focused.
“As much as he’s a YouTuber and comes from that side of things, he really dedicated himself in boxing.
“So I think he’ll be able to do the business but again, Tommy Fury is from that lineage of the Fury family so they are gonna come and fight.
“It will be an exciting fight.”
