Jake Paul believes that he will knock out Tommy Fury on the way to becoming a world champion fighter.
Paul has fought six times professionally, winning every bout along the way, but a February 26 fight in Saudi Arabia against Fury would represent his first clash with an outright boxer rather than a crossover opponent.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I want to become a world champion. I'm going to become a world champion and these fights are all just stepping stones to get there. I'm slowly improving.
"I've sparred against world champions and done phenomenal against them, so who knows what can happen in two to three years from now when I go into my athletic prime? I'm starting to really, really get this sport and all aspects of it.
"It's really actually scary what could possibly happen. I think not only will I become a world champion, I think I will be a dominant world champion and knock someone out for the belt."
He then predicted the manner of victory in a month’s time.
"You can expect Fury face down on the canvas, unconscious and it's going to happen fast. Get your popcorn but don't blink," Paul continued.
"They hate on me beating Tyron Woodley, they hate on me beating Anderson Silva, not understanding that they are both 10 times better boxers than Tommy Fury.
"So the critics and the sheep who believe Jake Paul hasn't fought a real boxer, someone his age, they're technically right and this checks that off. So that's going to be fun to shut those people up.
"The kid is good but he's not great and he's never been in there with someone who wants it more than him.
"I'm hyper-competitive and I want to be the best at whatever it is that I do. So I feel like my whole entire life has led me up to this moment and to come in with a different sort of narrative, through YouTube and Disney Channel and to change the sport of boxing, how the promotion's done, how the fighters are paid, how the events are looking, that to me excites me, to innovate in this sport that has needed it for the past decade or so.
"I'm excited to help this sport."
