The long-in-the-making boxing bout between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury takes place this weekend in Saudi Arabia. Here’s the details.
Billed as “The Truth”, the fight night is headlined by a clash between YouTube-star-cum-boxer Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, a professional boxer and reality TV personality.
Fury is the half-brother of reigning WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Paul and Tommy Fury, both unbeaten as pro boxers, have been scheduled to fight twice before, but the latter withdrew on each occasion – the first because of injury, and the second when he was reportedly prevented from entering the United States.
Sunday, February 26. Gates open 6pm Saudi time, with the first bout scheduled for 8pm (9pm UAE). A pre-fight press conference is slated for February 23, with the official weigh-in two days later.
