Tommy Fury has vowed to knock YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul out in two rounds when the pair square off next month.
Fury, 22, made the claim after working out with newly-minted trainer and half-brother Tyson, who knocked Deontay Wilder out last month in Las Vegas to retain his WBC heavyweight title.
"The run this morning was good. Good leg work. Feeling good, feeling fit. Trainer T doing the best job," Tommy said of Tyson in a video post on Twitter.
"What's happening to Jake Paul?" Tyson asked.
"He's getting knocked the spark out. Two rounds," Tommy replied.
"Jake Paul, we're coming for you," Tyson said.
"Be ready," added Tommy.
Tommy Fury won on the undercard of Paul's August fight against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, which Paul won on points.
Tommy comes from a long line of boxers but has also looked to grow his celebrity outside the sport and appeared on the British reality show Love Island in 2019.
He boasts a professional record of seven wins from as many fights with four knockouts while Paul is unbeaten in four contests.
Paul said he expects to stop Fury inside eight rounds when they meet in Tampa on December 18, but said it is hard to know what to expect against a fighter that has such a limited resume.
"Tommy Fury hasn't been tested, so we will see how he responds," Paul said at a press conference over the weekend.
"Is he actually a Fury, or will we find out that he's just a half Fury? Does he have the heart like his brother, or is he just living in the shadow of his brother?"

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
