Tyson Fury believes Paul brothers have been 'breath of fresh air' for boxing

While many don't enjoy having Jake and Logan Paul in professional boxing, Tyson Fury believes the brothers have been good for the sport.

The two-time world heavyweight champion praised the Paul brothers while discussing the possibility of Jake facing off against his half-brother, Tommy. 

"I've been pretty impressed with the Pauls - both of them - to be fair, they've been a good breath of fresh air to the boxing scene," Fury told TMZ Sports. "Fantastic, guys. Well done, if you're watching."

While Fury has been impressed with the Paul brothers, he doesn't believe Jake would stand a chance against his brother. 

"I think Tommy knocks him out cold," Fury said. "I think (Jake's) a decent fighter, for sure. But, I know Tommy's a dynamite puncher."

Jake is 3-0 as a professional boxer, defeating Ali Eson Gib, Nate Robinson and Ben Askren. His next fight is scheduled for Aug. 28 against Tyron Woodley. 

Logan, meanwhile, is 0-1, falling to YouTube star KSI in 2019.
