After numerous cancelations in the past, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will finally square off in the boxing ring come February 26 in Saudi Arabia. And as it seems, 'The Problem Child' just can't wait for fight night.

The social media celebrity shared his excitement about his opponent boarding the flight to Saudi Arabia by sharing a screenshot of 'TNT's Instagram story:

"TOMMY FURY BOARDED HIS FLIGHT TO SAUDI. DELICIOUS! #PaulFury"

As per the betting statistics provided by ODDSCHECKER, 'The Problem Child' is a -170 betting favorite to triumph over Fury, who is the +145 underdog.

This means that a $1000 wager on the underdog will provide a payout of $2450 if Tommy Fury wins. The same bet, if placed on Paul, will return a total of $1588 if 'The Problem Child' gets his hands raised.

Since turning pro in 2020, the YouTube superstar has secured an undefeated record consisting of 6 wins. Paul has wins over bonified UFC legends including Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren.

In contrast, the Love Island star's record is riddled with what many consider to be mediocre competition. His only notable win came against Polish boxer Daniel Bocianski, who held a record of 10-1 while facing Fury. The 24-year-old holds an undefeated record of 8-0.


KSI predicts Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury

YouTuber turned boxer Olajide Olatunji, better known as KSI, believes Jake Paul is going to win against Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.

Answering fan questions during a recent media segment with LADbible TV, the Brit opined that although Tommy Fury is perhaps a better boxer than Paul, 'The Problem Child's superior mindset would fetch him the win:

"Honestly, I think Jake Paul as much as I hate to say it, is going to win. I truly think Jake Paul has a better mindset and wants it more than Tommy. I don't think Jake is a better boxer than Tommy Fury, but I think Tommy Fury is just... a bit all over the place at the moment."
