Jake Paul makes outlandish Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather claim as Tommy Fury tells YouTube rival he should’ve fought Tiger Woods

YouTube boxer Jake Paul believes he has tested himself more than Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather after four fights.

The internet star is preparing for his fifth bout against Tommy Fury on December 18 in Florida, as Paul looks to extend his unbeaten record since turning professional.

However, many feel his 4-0 record flatters to deceive, given those fights were against a fellow YouTuber, a basketball player, and two ageing MMA fighters, meaning Paul is yet to actually box a professional boxer.

His most recent victory, a split-decision win over ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, did force some to take him more seriously.

And Paul believes that fight was more challenging than anything faced by boxing legends Tyson, Ali or Mayweather in their early careers.

In a recent interview on his win over Woodley, Paul said: "It was my first real test that I passed. A UFC champion who dominated the UFC with his big overhand right.

"He hit me with a shot in the fourth round that was nothing. I ate it very easily and kept moving.

"I found a way to win and passed my first test in my fourth professional fight."

'The Problem Child' added: "Nobody from Muhammad Ali to Mike Tyson to Floyd Mayweather was testing themselves as much as I was in my fourth fight.

"I learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of and performing under pressure.

"I look forward to bringing that experience to my next fight."

Fury, the Love Island star and half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, is a professional boxer with a 7-0 record and, with similar physical attributes to Paul, represents a more authentic test.

And Fury expects to expose Paul's record, telling him he should've stuck to steering clear of boxers and fought someone like legendary golfer Tiger Woods.

Fury told the : "I took this away from his fight with Tyron Woodley: the man got a split-decision win; that means you only just won against a 40-year-old retired UFC fighter.

“My god, well done. Good job, mate. You just about beat a 40-year-old man.

"When you get in there with a fresh 22-year-old whose been doing this all his life, you’re going to wish you stuck to paying UFC fighters off, and basketball players.

“You should have gone and fought Tiger Woods, not somebody who has done it his whole life, because you’re in for a big shock.

"You’re the one who is going to crumble."
