Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally go toe-to-toe this evening in an eagerly anticipated bout in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
The pair were locked in negotiations for months trying to reschedule a fight that had already fallen through three times.
Indeed, Fury pulled out from the original date in December 2021 with injury and illness, while the Manchester fighter had visa issues when trying to get over to the US to promote the second fight, which was also subsequently called off.
Fury, who is the younger brother of WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson, enters the bout with eight wins from his eight fights, including four knockouts.

Meanwhile, Youtuber-turned-boxer Paul has put together a record of 6-0, with four KOs since turning his attention to the sport in 2018.
While his first few fights did not prove much of a challenge, the Problem Child caused a stir in the combat world with wins over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and ex-UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
While this evening’s bout is a grudge match, the winner will also receive a top 40 cruiserweight ranking with the WBC.
