How to watch Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury in the USA: Start time and TV channel

One of the most highly anticipated boxing events of the year takes place on Sunday night, with Tommy Fury facing Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia.

Paul has faced two MMA fighters in his moth recent fights, winning against both Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva and now faces a fight against a full-time boxer for the first time. He was due to face 13-2 heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr in place of Fury last summer before the American withdrew amid disagreements regarding their respective weights.

There is no love lost between the pair, with their long awaited fight finally taking place after two failed attempts. Fury withdrew from the first two, with the first being cancelled due to a combination of injury and illness before the second failed to take place with the British fighter undergoing Visa problems as he tried to travel to the US.
