The long-awaited bout between YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, half-brother of two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is finally on the schedule. After two previously scheduled fights fell through, the high-profile fighters will face off on Feb. 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Paul confirmed.
“The moment of truth has finally arrived,” Paul said, via ESPN. “On Feb. 26, I will get in the ring with a ‘real boxer,’ an 8–0 fighter from a storied fighting family and show the world the truth about who Jake Paul, the boxer really is.”
He upped the stakes on social media, drawing Fury’s famous half-brother and father John Fury, a former boxer in his own right, into the fray.
