The boxing world is currently on its heels, waiting for the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury showdown, which will be held this weekend in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The fight has been in the making for over two years and was cancelled twice due to various reasons. Ahead of the much-awaited bout, both fighters came face to face at the official weigh-ins on Saturday.

As the fighters faced off during a fiery exchange of words, the 23-year-old was seen losing his cool and shoving Paul away. It should be noticed that reacting to the face-off on social media, fans mentioned that the world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s half-brother seemed more aggressive at the weigh-in. On the other hand, fans surprisingly found Paul to be calmer and more relaxed.
