EDDIE HEARN claimed Tommy Fury is earning millions to fight YouTube stars – despite being "terrible." <\/p>\n

Fury, 24, beat social media sensation-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, in their Saudi Arabia grudge match in February. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And following the tight split-decision win, he was challenged by Paul's bitter enemy KSI, 30.<\/p>\n

Again Fury walked away with a razor thin victory on the scorecards – and, according to Hearn, another healthy payday in the process. <\/p>\n

Speaking on The Overlap, he said: "Tommy is a professional boxer, but he's terrible. He's absolutely\u00a0swam the channel. <\/p>\n

"He's gone from making \u00a340,000\/\u00a350,000 per fight to making \u00a34million\/\u00a35m to fight a YouTuber."<\/p>\n
