Paul aiming to retire Fury
The YouTuber turned boxer is aiming to "decapitate" Tommy Fury as he targets his biggest win in boxing to date.
He said: "Tommy, I hope you've enjoyed these last few moments of your career. This is it. You're going to be retired from boxing after this, you're going to be disowned by your family, you're going to go back to your mother's maiden name.
"There's nothing else that can save you. It is just me and you. Mano a mano [Hand and hand]. You're brother's not in the ring with you, your dad's not in the ring with you anymore, Molly's not in the ring with you anymore, Bambi isn't in the ring with you anymore.
"So all of that cute motivation about having a child and fighting for her, all of that s*** goes out of the window. I'm coming to take your f***ing head off, decapitate you.
"I'm a mean, angry person deep down and I'm going to take it all out on your f***ing face. There is nothing you could do to f***ing beat me."

What has been said?
Tommy Fury has complete confidence that he is going to win the bout against a "rubbish" Jake Paul.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Tommy said: “He can say what he wants because talking is his game. Fighting is mine.
“On Sunday night, it is not about who can talk the best. It is about who can fight the best. He’s absolutely rubbish.
“I’ve been in boxing all my life. He can’t fight.
“Jake Paul, he is what he is. He’s a white-collar boxer.
“He’s going in there with somebody who wants to take his head clean off with every shot and he’s going to be dealing with everything that comes with a boxer.
"He’s not dealt with that before and it’s a big jump.”

Tommy up for revenge
As major boxing grudge matches go they don’t get much bigger – or unlikely – than the upcoming fight between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul.
To say Tommy is pumped up for the fight is an understatement, thanks in no small part to Jake, ruining his rival’s baby announcement and branding Tommy’s influencer fiancée Molly-May Hague the couple’s “breadwinner”.
As one insider at the build-up in Riyadh said: “Tommy says he wants to get revenge, and he won’t feel like he’s got it until he has knocked him clean out.
“He’s angry, and he means every word — they’re not empty threats. This is personal.”
- Henry Tomlinson
Leading up to the fight
The feuding pair have locked in negotiations for months over trying to reschedule a fight which has fallen through twice already.
First, Fury pulled out of their original date in December 2021 with injury and illness.
And then the Manchester fighter had visa issues while trying to get over the US to promote their second fight, with that bout being called off too.
But now the fight will be going ahead tomorrow night.
