Malik Scott makes prediction for potential Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight

Malik Scott makes prediction for potential Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fightDAZN

Jake Paul returns to the ring on Saturday night to face MMA legend Anderson Silva, but for many fans, there is only one fight they want to see 'The Problem Child' take on, and that's against Tommy Fury. 

The pair were scheduled to meet twice over the past 12 months, but injuries and visa issues forced the cancellation of what would have been a memorable event. 

This hasn't stopped many experts within boxing from giving their prediction and Malik Scott, the trainer of former WBC world heavyweight champion Deonaty Wilder, is the latest one to give his verdict. 

"Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury. I'm just not impressed with Tommy. I've never seen him doing anything in a boxing ring besides having the last name Fury. You got to show me you can fight," Scott told BonusCodeBets

"Hughie Fury can fight and box, I don't care how many losses he's got. Tyson Fury can fight and box. Tyson's dad can fight and box. But Tommy Fury has just not shown me anything, I think Paul just beats him."

When it came to previewing Paul's fight with Silva this weekend, the former heavyweight contender turned coach believes it will be the YouTuber's toughest test yet.

"I'm not sure if Paul KO's Anderson Silva - he's a veteran and knows how to protect himself. It may go to a decision. Paul may win pretty obviously. But I can't see Silva getting hurt or knocked out by Paul, nothing like that," Scott said.

"Silva knows how to protect himself. He's been in with real killers, this is the highest pedigree opponent that Paul has fought, even if he's 47-years-old."
