Jake Paul and Tommy Fury look set to finally clash after more than a year of going back and forth on social media. Paul and Fury are both boxing novices who have made their names outside of the sport.
Tommy Fury is once again the betting favorite for the fight.Fury is the brother of WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury. Tommy is often regarded as having a stronger boxing acumen than Paul due to his family connections. Fury is therefore priced at –200 (1/2) for the fight where as Jake Paul is +100 (6/4).
Tommy Fury’s claim to fame came on the reality TV show Love Island, where Fury finished as a runner-up. He is 8-0 as a professional boxer and has fought a series of journeymen thus far. ‘TNT’ has recorded four stoppages in his eight bouts.
Jake Paul made his name through YouTube as well as his TV work where he was a cast member of Disney Channel show 'Bizaardvark'. ‘The Problem Child’ is 5-0 as a professional and has stopped all of his opponents. Paul went the distance with Tyron Woodley in their first fight, but knocked him out in the rematch. All of Paul’s opponents have come from outside of boxing so far.
The fight, which was scheduled to take place on August 6, appeared to fall through. Paul posted a tweet wherein he called out Tommy Fury and accused him of pulling out of the fight.
Paul gave Fury an ultimatum and claimed that he would not speak to Fury again if he did not respond.
Fury responded by saying the fight is still on:
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury were supposed to fight once before
The two social media personalities were supposed to clash in December 2021. ‘TNT’ fought on the undercard of Paul’s first bout with Tyron Woodley, with the plan being for both fighters to fight each other next. A fight deal was signed and press conferences took place to promote the bout.
Watch Paul and Fury clash at a press conference:
Fury pulled out of the fight citing a bacterial infection and a broken rib. Paul mocked his rival and accused him of ducking him. Instead, Paul fought Woodley in a rematch on the same date.
