Jake Paul's knockdown of Tommy Fury questioned after ringside footage emerges
Ultimately, it did not affect the outcome with Fury emerging victorious via split decision.
Ringside footage released by BT Sport has reignited the debate over whether or not the knockdown was legitimate.“There would be no excuses from my part if I got knocked down, I’d say I got knocked down.“But that was no knockdown, you could see when I got up I was like, ‘No way!’”Surprisingly though, Tommy’s father and trainer John Fury has admitted that he believes it was indeed a legitimate knockdown.: “It was a stumble, but a jab caused the stumble, so the referee was right.
“It was a jab and it caused him to be off-balance, but I looked at him, he nodded back, I knew he was okay.Tommy wasn’t happy that the knockdown was given “He could have made things a lot easier, but he was carrying the weight of the world, the amount of pressure, the new baby, his name, his whole career was on the line.
