In boxing, there is often no love lost between fighters. Whether that manifests in a furious fight or a war of words beforehand, intense rivalries have been ...
But, if Paul was to win, he would take all of the money. A special commemorative belt has been created by the WBC. Former two-weight world champion Carl Frampton said that at first the Paul vs. the Fury family name.” What began as seemingly a money-driven decision – having seen the huge purses boxers can earn, even in exhibition fights – has turned into a full-blown career change for Paul. The two have been scheduled to fight twice before. It’s almost like we’ve gotten three press tours with this fight because we’ve been trying to make it happen for so long, so there’s so much media out there, so many people want to see it. Fury has boxing in his blood. Whether that manifests in a weigh-in scuffle or a war of words beforehand, intense rivalries have been commonplace over the years. The sport’s newest rivalry has a very modern edge to it. In one corner, we have a former internet star. “It’s country vs.
Love him or hate him, Jake Paul has undoubtedly become one of the biggest attractions in boxing. Every time he steps in the ring it's bound to draw ...
But, as Paul noted, there isn't a specific ranking he has to have to challenge for the title. The challenge in forecasting lies in the unique experiences of both fighters. I don't have to go through the rankings and all of that." A ranking doesn't necessarily mean that one of them is close to the title. The rest of Paul's opponents have been fellow YouTubers or MMA stars with little boxing experience. For Paul, it's overcoming the perception of just being a YouTube celebrity who happens to do some boxing matches. "They forget that I could just challenge the guy who has [the title]. He was on the British reality show Love Island and has publicly feuded with Paul for a while. Both boxers are in a position where respect has been elusive to this point in their career. The organization's rankings go all the way to No. Love him or hate him, Jake Paul has become one of the biggest attractions in boxing. Paul, 26, will attempt to run his undefeated record to 7-0 and earn his first win over someone who has more than one or two professional boxing bouts.
The pair of rivals will finally get in the ring and slug it out on Sunday in Saudi Arabia.
Paul does a good job of processing information and using it to set up big punches and he also stays committed to throwing punches to the body. With Paul the naturally bigger man with the more aggressive approach to fights, it feels right to side with him to win the grudge match. In between the vicious trash talk and the questioning of both fighters' true in-ring qualities, there's a legitimately well-matched bout between two young fighters in need of exactly the level of opponent they are set to face on Sunday. His jab is very good and could prove the biggest obstacle for Paul to clear. Fury has yet to face an opponent who was truly a threat to win their fight. In his most recent fight, Fury faced Daniel Bocianski, who entered the fight with a 10-1 record, though he was coming off a TKO loss in his previous outing. When the first planned fight with Fury fell through due to a Fury injury, Paul rematched Woodley and scored another crushing knockout. Paul scored a late knockdown of Silva and took a decision victory but again faced criticism that Silva was not a "real boxer," as well as for facing a 47-year old. On Sunday, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally will step into the ring to face off in a one-on-one showdown. Both have proven themselves capable of handling the level of competition against which they've fought previously and both have the means and resources to put together comparable fight camps. Still, his profile has led to a non-traditional list of opponents because he can't face the low-level, no-name competition that makes up the start of almost every professional boxer's career. But this is why this fight is so big,"Paul said.
A script was leaked on social media which claimed Paul would KO Fury in the eighth and final round of their grudge fight in Saudi Arabia.
He was also forced to withdraw last August when he was banned from flying to New York for a press conference. The page appears to have been put together by 'Troop Boxing' and was widely shared hours before the fight takes place. The document was shared by former UFC star Mike Perry, who was also Tommy Fury's back-up in case the Brit failed to show up for his fight with Paul in Saudi Arabia.

The fight organisers have since confirmed to Mirror Fighting that the script is fake. The YouTuber walks out to Mr Steal Your Girl by Try Songz while Fury is accompanied by boxing classic Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. By round five Fury's eye is almost completely closed and Paul looks to be cruising to victory and his rival's corner begins to worry in the seventh round. Fury and Paul will settle their two-year rivalry in Saudi Arabia in a fight most bookmakers are struggling to call. That is unlikely to happen given Fury's inability to travel to America cost him a fight with Paul last August.
