JAKE PAUL is “rooting” for Tommy Fury to get a big win in his next fight to preserve their grudge match.
Injury and illness forced Fury to withdraw from his December dust-up with Paul, who ended up facing and knocking out ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley.

Love Islander Fury will be back in action on Saturday week against 10-1 Pole Daniel Bocianski on the undercard of brother Tyson’s grudge match with Dillian Whyte.
And Paul is hoping TNT will win in explosive fashion to keep fan interest in their rivalry alive, telling The Mirror: “Let’s see how he fares.
“This will be a cool test for him and hopefully it’s not a snooze-fest like all of his fights.
“Hopefully he can get a big moment, a big KO and get some momentum going.

“Right now we’re just not interested in that fight because he doesn’t really have anything going, people only know of his name because of me.
“I’m rooting for him.
“Best of luck to him, hopefully, he can get a big KO and do something that would make more excitement for a fight between us.”
Paul, 25, pivoted away from a battle of social media stars with Fury after the Brit’s withdrawal from their showdown.
And he’s adamant the youngest Fury brother must do something spectacular to pique his interest again.
The former Disney star said: “He sucks at promoting, his brother did all the promotion, his dad did all the promotion for the last fight so he’s got to do something to get back on my radar.”
