Tommy Fury is set to be officially ranked by the WBC following his win over Jake Paul last weekend.
Following years of back and forth online, Jake Paul and 'TNT' entered the squared circle in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. Going into the fight, the stakes were high for both fighters as the two had a lot to prove. Moreover, it was revealed by the president of WBC, Mauricio Sulaiman, that the winner of the fight will become an officially ranked fighter after the fight.
With both fighters fighting for a spot in the WBC world rankings, Tommy Fury edged over 'The Problem Child' with a split decision victory to his name. WBC president Sulaiman made an appearance on a recent episode of the DAZN Boxing Show and was asked whether Fury would be ranked following his win over Paul.
Sulaiman replied by suggesting:
"Well the new rankings will come out next week and yes he will be ranked."

Tommy Fury calls for Jake Paul to honor their 'all or nothing' deal
Days prior to the Paul vs. Fury event, 'The Problem Child' proposed a bet to Tommy Fury wherein he would pay 'TNT' 2x the purse he was guaranteed if he came out victorious and nothing if he lost.
The two shook hands on stage at a press-confrence, however, Fury's team did not sign a contract to make things official. Despite not signing the contract, 'TNT' and his team seem desperate for Jake Paul to honor the deal.
Following his win over Jake Paul, Tommy Fury was on the British morning show to discuss a variety of topics. During the show, 'TNT' suggested that even though they did not sign the contract, he expects Paul to pay him accordingly.
While suggesting that a handshake is as good as a contract for him and his team, Fury stated:
“At the end of the day, we were live on television and we shook hands, take that as how you want to take it, We’re old-fashioned guys, so a handshake means everything to us, but let’s see if he honors it or not. A handshake is as good as a contract to us.”
