Jake Paul and Tommy Fury slated to fight in Saudi Arabia next month
Originally targeted for Saturday 25th, the bout between the two foes is now slated to take place on Sunday, February 26th in Saudi Arabia.
The pay-per-view is expected to draw extraordinary numbers, with Paul's ongoing turn at boxing introducing a new generation of young fans to the sport after his wins over the likes of former MMA stars Anderson Silva, Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
The pair had been scheduled to fight in December 2021 before Fury pulled out at the last minute due to a rib injury. Former UFC champion Woodley stepped in for a rematch with the younger Paul brother - which also ended in victory for the internet star.
Another scheduled bout was cancelled in August 2022.
Tommy Fury - younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson - is 8-0 in his professional boxing career, including four wins by knockout.
Paul was quick to commence his trademark trash-talking ahead of the fight, immediately taking to Twitter to 'announce the birth' of Fury's newborn child with fellow reality TV contestant Molly-Mae Hague.
"Tommy has no excuses now - Baby’s born," he wrote on Twitter.
"Money’s massive. Immigration no issue. Tyson promises he and Papa will make Tommy retire from boxing and change his last name if he can't beat the YouTuber.
"Tomorrow I'm coming to London to look at all three Furys in the eye and shake on that promise."
