Jake Paul handed Tommy Fury a gift for his newborn baby as an apology after leaking her birth to the public.
After a long period of on-and-off negotiations, Paul and Fury will finally meet inside the ring this weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The pair had a scheduled fight last year but Fury pulled out due to medical reasons.

Ahead of the bout, Paul has apologised to Fury for leaking the birth of his child, Bambi, to the public.
The American YouTuber turned boxer posted: “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived.
“Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue.”
Bambi was born four days before Paul’s post, but neither Fury nor his girlfriend, Molly-Mae Hague had announced it.
Paul told Fury: “I apologise actually for leaking your baby's announcement, I honestly didn't mean to say that before.”

Fury replied: “I wanted to address this, right. This is amazing.
“This guy is all the way overseas and he's putting out a statement, so is 20 million other people.
“Do you know how many people guessed that our baby was here? So when he put it out, I was like, OK, so you've just joined the rest of them?”
At this point, Paul upped his efforts to say sorry by handing a gift to Fury for Bambi.

He added: “I just want to say that I didn't mean to leak your baby's announcement.
“I've actually got a gift for Bambi, as a sorry. This is a big designer baby brand.”
The gesture impressed Fury’s dad, John, who walked into the shot and said: “You've got up one million per cent in my expectations. May the best man win,” as the pair shared a handshake.
