Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury is official as both fighters made the 185-pound weight limit for the fight. Earlier today at the official weigh-ins, 'TNT' weighed in at 184.5 pounds while Paul came in slightly lighter at 183.6 pounds.
As expected, that final face-off was all fireworks. After engaging in a bit of trash talk, Fury shoved Paul, prompting security to separate the men.

Based on the betting lines provided by Betting Insider Journal, 'The Problem Child' is a -150 favorite for the matchup against the 23-year-old Brit (+120 underdog).
Both fighters are undefeated in their careers. Since turning pro in 2020, Paul has registered six wins, with four of them coming via knockout.
'The Problem Child' holds wins against MMA legends such as former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, former middleweight champion Anderson Silva, and multi-promotional champion Ben Askren.
