The boxing world will finally witness the much-anticipated Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury showdown this weekend in Saudi Arabia. The young fighters were first scheduled to fight in 2021 but the world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury's brother Tommy pulled out of the bout due to injury and illness. They were next slated to lock horns in August 2022, but travel and visa issues prevented the 23-year-old Briton from flying to the US.
However, the star boxers are now set to fight each other in a cruiserweight bout in Saudi Arabia. Paul heads into the PPV with a 6-0 record in his professional career and is coming off a TKO victory over MMA legend Anderson Silva. He has also earned victories over ex-UFC superstar Ben Askren and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
