What time does the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight start?
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are finally set to face off in the boxing ring for the first time ever. They are slated to fight on February 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
The pair first were scheduled to meet in December of 2021, but Fury pulled out due to injury/illness. He then was rebooked for August, but again backed out because of travel issues.
Fight date
The long-awaited fight date between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and professional boxer Tommy Fury has been set for Sunday, February 26. It will take place in Saudi Arabia, and the two men will battle in an eight-round cruiserweight contest.
Jake Paul has been unbeaten in his career, but he has struggled to find opponents who can match his skill level and ability to win in the ring. He has fought amateurs and celebrity figures, but he is now on the verge of finally finding his niche as a professional boxer.
Having knocked out AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson, Ben Askren and Mike Perry, Paul has shown real improvement as a boxer since his MMA days. He has also taken on more experienced fighters and stepped up his game, as evidenced by his defeat of Anderson Silva.
A bout between Paul and Fury, half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, was first planned in 2021 but the contest fell apart when Fury pulled out due to injury and a rib issue. A second date was scheduled for August 2022, but Fury’s visa issues meant the fight was canceled again.
However, Paul has now signed on for a third attempt to get the bout going, with the fight taking place in Saudi Arabia later this month. There is a lot of hype surrounding the fight, and fans are hoping that it will be a memorable event.
It will be a big test for both fighters to prove that they can beat each other in a competitive and exciting boxing match. The fight will be streamed live on ESPN+ PPV in the United States, and UK fans can watch it on BT Sport Box Office.
In addition to Paul and Fury, the card will feature a cruiserweight match between Ilunga Makabu and Badou Jack. Ilunga Makabu is the WBC cruiserweight champion and has a record of 9-1.
Meanwhile, Badou Jack is a former two-weight world champion. He is also a veteran of many high-profile fights, including the one against Tony Bellew.
There is a lot of anticipation around the fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, as they are both unbeaten and will put their undefeated records on the line in this big bout. It is expected to be a big draw, and will likely be a huge TV event.
Fight venue
The long-awaited fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury has finally been announced for February 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The televised bout will be live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK and ESPN+ PPV in the US.
The rivals have been in talks for years and were originally scheduled to face each other twice. However, Paul pulled out of a December 2021 fight due to injury and Fury was forced to withdraw from August 2022’s clash as he faced travel issues.
Both fighters have amassed impressive boxing records, and it is likely that the winner of this match will be one of the better pro boxers in the world. Whether they will win or lose, the battle is sure to be a thrilling one and one that fans will not want to miss.
Paul, who is also known as ‘Problem Child,’ has an unbeaten record of 6-0 with four knockouts. He has defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva and former NBA players Nate Robinson and Ben Askren, among other notable opponents.
Meanwhile, Tommy Fury is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and has an 8-0 record with four wins by stoppage. He last fought in April 2022, beating Daniel Bocianski by decision.
Despite the fact that the two had a tumultuous history, they have agreed to settle their differences in the ringwalks at this third attempt. Both have been battling visa problems since the first attempt, but if they can manage to overcome those obstacles, this match could be the defining moment of their career.
The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia, which is expected to give Paul some home-crowd support. He recently travelled to Riyadh to participate in WWE’s Crown Jewel event and his brother Logan will be in attendance.
It is a very exciting time to be a fan of boxing as there are so many incredible fights on the calendar, with both Paul and Fury vying for the top spot. This will be the first time that both of them have met in a live televised boxing event and it is bound to be a great fight.
Fight weight
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are set to face off in a boxing match on February 25. This is a huge fight that should generate a lot of money.
This is a big match for both of the fighters, and will be one of the most exciting boxing matches to watch this year. The battle will take place at 192 pounds and is expected to go eight rounds.
Both of these men are extremely talented in the boxing ring. They are both undefeated and have impressive records.
Paul is currently 6-0 in the boxing ring and has a total of 8 wins, 7 of which have been by knockout. He is also a YouTube personality and has a rabid fan base that will be sure to back him no matter what.
On the other hand, Tommy Fury is a 23-year-old British professional boxer who has an 8-0 record in the ring. He is the younger half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and made his professional debut in 2018.
The two were originally scheduled to face off last December, but Fury pulled out with a broken rib. Their bout was rearranged in August and was meant to take place at the Dubai Boxing Arena, but a weight disagreement forced it to be moved to a neutral country.
Despite his issues, Tommy Fury has always pushed for the fight to happen and has even laid out a contract proposal on Instagram to ‘TNT’. He has been criticized for his approach, but he still believes he will win the fight.
He is currently listed as a slight pre-fight favorite at Everygame Sportsbook. However, the odds have shifted dramatically in the last few weeks.
In fact, he is now the -200 favorite at Bovada Sportsbook compared to his +150 odds when the markets opened. This shows that the bookmakers have taken a liking to Paul and are giving him a great chance of winning the fight.
This could prove to be the toughest test that Paul has faced so far. If he manages to defeat Tommy Fury, it will be a huge victory for him.
Fight style
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will battle it out at 185 pounds on February 26 in what should be an exciting fight. Both boxers are unbeaten, but the British fighter has more experience. He has fought a former basketball player, a YouTuber and a couple of MMA fighters in his six career wins.
The fight will be produced by Saudi Arabia’s Skill Challenge Entertainment Enterprises and will be broadcast on BT Sport Box Office in the UK and ESPN+ PPV in the US. The fight will be a high-profile clash and could be one of the biggest PPVs in the world, especially in Saudi Arabia where YouTube content is highly popular.
After multiple failed attempts to arrange a fight, the two men are finally set to meet in the ring on February 25. This marks the third time they’ve been booked to fight, but each time, it fell through due to visa issues.
Originally, the fight was supposed to take place in December 2021, but an illness forced Fury to pull out. However, the fight was rebooked for August 2022, but that was canceled as well due to travel problems.
Now, the two have agreed to settle their grudge match at the third attempt, with the bout set to be held in Saudi Arabia on February 25. This is good news for Paul, who has a 6-0 professional record with four knockouts and an impressive victory over Anderson Silva last November.
He’ll be looking to maintain that undefeated record against the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who has an 8-0 professional boxing record with four knockouts and also won a decision against Daniel Bocianski in April.
It’s a huge matchup for both boxers, and they should bring their A-game to the ring in this one. The aforementioned fight will be streamed on ESPN+ in the US and BT Sport Box Office in the UK, and it should be a great show for fans to watch.
In addition to the main event, there will be a number of undercard fights as well. Ilunga Makabu, a former opponent of Bellew, will fight Badou Jack.
