Tyson Fury is betting cold, hard cash on his younger brother Tommy to win against Jake Paul when they meet in the ring in Saudi Arabia on Sunday (live on DAZN PPV in Brazil and Canada, and on ESPN+ PPV in the USA).

The elder Fury has been present throughout the build-up to the fight, and he now says that he's backing his brother to topple the YouTube star-turned-boxer with a £100,000 wager.

"Tommy knocks out 90 per cent of people that he spars with or drops them at least, so he's a very hard puncher and Jake Paul will find that out [Sunday]," Fury told iFL TV.

"I've got 100 racks on it for an inside-the-distance stoppage, so if he loses, then I'll lose 100 bags as well. I've got him at 3/1."

Fury is confident his brother will defeat Paul in convincing fashion despite the social media star entering the match as a narrow favourite with most bookmakers. "The Gypsy King" took aim at all who have picked Paul as a favourite, predicting a knock out by Tommy.

"I know Tommy is going to knock him out. What is a little bit stupid is I see all these experts and professional boxers picking Jake Paul over Tommy.

"I'm like, 'What the hell are these guys watching?', because Tommy will absolutely deck him. 

"I think Tommy can get him out of there whenever really.

"It'll definitely be inside the distance and it won't be a points job for sure. Tommy wins by knockout."
