JOHN FURY has accused Jake Paul of handpicking “geriatrics” following his win over Anderson Silva.
The YouTuber turned boxer stretched his professional record to a perfect 6-0 last weekend with a unanimous decision victory over the MMA legend.

Victory over Silva stretched Paul’s record to a perfect 6-0
But his latest win did little to impress Tommy Fury’s dad John
But victory over the 47-year-old UFC great has done little to impress Fury, the father of Paul’s rival Tommy.
He said on Instagram Live: “This man [Tommy] is fighting here, at least he’s a proper fighter.
“He trains as a boxer. All he’s fighting, he’s had seven pro fights against proper opposition.
“Not some hand-picked geriatric that needs a Zimmer frame [walker] to get in the ring.”
Paul, 25, dropped Silva in the final round of their Arizona dust-up on his way to a decision victory.
John, however, can’t understand how Paul opted to fight the near-fifty-year-old Silva.
He said: “If any of my sons was fifty years old and doing that, I’d say ‘Listen, have a day off, give your head a wobble.’
“‘Alls you’re going to do is make a fool of yourself and entertainment for other people.
“You’re making the other man that’s useless look good.’”
Paul and Tommy have twice been scheduled to throw down with one another but have yet to share the ring.
Injury and illness to Fury scuppered their first scheduled meeting last December, while visa issues laid waste to their second.
And John has no doubt in his mind his youngest son would teach The Problem Child a lesson.
He said: “Jake Paul can’t fight. [Tommy] will knock Jake Paul out with one punch.
“And I’ll say it now on camera: Jake Paul will get knocked out with the first right hand that he throws, and I’ll put money on it.”
Paul expected critics to be out in force after his latest victory, saying: “They’re gonna find something to say.
“‘Fight a real boxer!’ B***h, I tried. Hey, if I was walking on water, people would say I can’t swim.
“So there’s always gonna be haters, there’s always gonna be critics, and that’s just there, that’s everyday, part of life if you’re doing something and being successful.
“So I don’t worry about this s**t and this is just the start baby.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers protect themselves by protecting their bodies. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It determines his position and the direction he will face. There are many stances available to boxers. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Spare parts
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. To become a better boxer, you must train hard and for a long time.
