Jake Paul outlines six conditions Tommy Fury must meet to earn fight

Jake Paul has revealed the conditions that Tommy Fury must meet to secure a future fight with him including "timing" and "pay-per-view buys".

The YouTube star takes on former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in his fourth professional fight on Sunday.

And victory could set up a clash with British light-heavyweight Fury who will feature on the undercard against Paul's sparring partner Anthony Taylor.

But Paul believes that Fury must bring factors such as "notoriety" and "pay-per-view buys" to the table in order to secure a shot at derailing the American's boxing career.

“When you are fighting with Jake Paul it has to make sense from a range of different points of view such as height and weight, experience, pay-per-view buys, notoriety, ability to sell a fight and timing for me," Paul told Showtime.

“Yeah look it makes sense, it’s a huge fight with Tommy and it seems to be in the palm of both of our hands.

“We do have to go out and perform, and I want to see how the US crowd receives him and see if he has that star power the whole week.

“He doesn’t have the big pay-per-view numbers that the likes of Tyron Woodley has, no-one has actually seen a Tommy Fury fight.

“I guess some people may have seen like the highlights and stuff, but it isn’t converting into pay-per-view buys.”

Paul has been very vocal about calling out Fury in recent weeks, and has revealed that he is "topping up the fighter's purses" ahead of their appearances on the undercard.

The 24-year-old has also revealed the behind-the-scenes plan has always to set up a fight with Fury in the coming months as he continues to cross-off names on his boxing 'hit-list'.

But Fury is worried that Paul's clash with Woodley could scupper his plans predicting the former UFC star to defeat the YouTube at the weekend.

"I've got nearly four million people following me around the world. Jake's got however many he's got. It's a massive colossal fight everyone knows that and provided we both come through our fights, let's get it on," he said.

"But it's hard to say. There's no way in hell Tyron should lose this fight. Woodley's been fighting his whole life, he knows what it's like to be in a fight. He knows how to handle himself when he's hurt. Woodley should come through this on Sunday.

"But Jake's Jake. He's been doing this every single day, a lot longer boxing wise than Woodley.

"The main thing we are looking for on Sunday is how Jake performs when his backs against the ropes, when he's been hit and hurt. I think there's very good chance of that happening on Sunday."

Paul has revealed he is prioritising a fight with Canelo Alvarez during his career despite persistent links with Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather in exhibition bouts.

And the YouTube star has also called out current UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal labelling him as an "airhead" despite the pair previously being portrayed as friends.
