Tyson Fury admitted Jake Paul is a ‘decent boxer’

The celebrity boxing rivals officially came face-to-face for the first time over the weekend at Wembley Arena.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, 34, was in attendance and heaped praise on YouTuber-turned 6-0 boxer Paul, 26.

He told Sky Sports: “I think he’s a decent boxer.

“A lot of people think he’s just a YouTube person who doesn’t know how to box but I’ve actually seen him training and I’ve actually seen his fights and I think he’s decent.

“He’s like a novice professional. He’s only had six fights so he’s exactly as good as he should be at this stage.

“He’s not an Olympic boxer but then again neither am I.”

Paul has knocked out ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, in the past two years.

Now Tommy, 23, will be his first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record.

But the 8-0 boxer has been urged by his older brother not to rest on his laurels by staying focused on the task in hand.

Tyson said: “He can’t just go to the ice cream parlour and not train.

“He’s got to really focus and have the right sparring and everything. He’s got to take it really seriously.

“He’s got to do the job when he’s in there because it’s not just the opponent.”

Tommy twice pulled out of facing Paul in the past, due to a rib injury in December 2021 and amid a US visa issue last August.

But he gets a third crack after the two renegotiated for a blockbuster in the Middle East.

Tyson has warned Tommy he can stay in Saudi if he loses and give up their famous fighting name.

So with bragging rights, unbeaten records and reputations on the line, it is all to play for in Riyadh.

Tyson said: “There’s big pressure, a big stadium, top of the bill and all that sort of stuff.

“The thrills and spills of big-time boxing sometimes get to them so it’s going to be interesting to see if Tommy can handle that pressure, which I know he can, but it’s going to be interesting to see him do it in front of the world.”

Punching Techniques

There are seven types of punches available: Left Hook and Right Hook, Cross, Cross, Straight, Underhand, Overhand, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, and Overhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force.

There are also different combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.

Legs

To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.

Elbows

Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.

Hands

Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.

Knees

Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.

Feet

If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.

Stances
