JAKE PAUL vs Tommy Fury has finally been announced – and you don’t have to wait long at all to see it.
The pair have been locked in negotiations for months over trying to reschedule a fight which has fallen through twice already.
Tommy Fury will fight Jake Paul in a huge clash in Saudi Arabia

Paul instead fought Anderson Silva, beating him on points to rack up his sixth win as a professional boxer.
Fury, 8-0, was last in action in an exhibition on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Deji against Rolly Lambert.
But now Fury and Paul are ready to do battle, and it’s all going down in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia!

What has been said?
“Jake Paul’s boxing career ends on February 26th and I can finally move on with mine,” Fury said.
“Every time I go out right now, everybody asks me about the Jake Paul fight. After this fight is done, everybody will be asking me how it felt to knock Jake Paul out.
“The world is about to see what happens when a proper boxer faces a YouTuber.
“I am a professional boxer, I have had 8 undefeated bouts, soon to be 9! Jake Paul will regret ever thinking he could take me on. I will put him in his place, the canvas!”
Paul said: “The moment of truth has finally arrived.
“On February 26th, I will get in the ring with a ‘real boxer,’ an 8-0 fighter from a storied fighting family and show the world the truth about who Jake Paul, the boxer really is.”
