Paul goes into the biggest fight of his career on the back of a decision victory over former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Former Disney star Paul had to deal with accusations his clash with The Spider was fixed, a notion former WBC super-middleweight champ Froch agrees with.

The Cobra said: “I question the manner in which this fight [against Anderson Silva] was won. I feel like Anderson Silva wasn’t trying.”

The manner in which Paul beat Silva has Froch convinced there potentially could be some foul play in his clash with former Love Island star Fury.

He said: “When there’s so much money at stake, we don’t like fights are fixed or what’s going off in the background, but there’s always stuff circulating to say, listen, this is a gravy train that needs to keep going.

“And he’s making a lot of money, Jake Paul, because he knows what he’s doing. He speaks well, he’s got a social media influence.

“And I don’t think his story stops here with Tommy Fury.

“I think there is something deeper going on. I don’t want to put my tinfoil hat on, but what’s going to happen tonight is that I’m going to be watching this with close eyes.

“I’m going to be looking at this saying, ‘Right, what’s Tommy Fury doing?

“‘How’s he standing? How’s he jabbing?

“‘What’s he up to? Is he in there trying?’

“I’ve got all these things going off [shakes hands above his head].

“Until I see Jake Paul and Tommy start exchanging leather, up close and in range.

“I’m not going to be convinced that this is genuine. But Tommy Fury better be.”

Froch, 45, has recently found himself embroiled in a war of words with American Paul, who has challenged him to earn a lucrative payday against him by beating Silva.

And the pride of Nottingham is open to coming out of retirement to put a beating on The Problem Child.

He said: “If he’s serious about it, get the contract sent over to me [and] we’ll have a serious look at it and we’ll take it from there.

“But he’s got a job to do tonight, first, with Tommy Fury.”
