Jake Paul returns to the ring to face Tommy Fury in a 10-round cruiserweight bout in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, Feb. 26 (ESPN+ PPV, 2 p.m. ET).
Paul (6-0, 4 KOs), 26, of Cleveland, is coming off a unanimous decision victory over MMA legend Anderson Silva back in October.
Paul was scheduled to face Fury in December 2021, but Fury was forced to step down due to injury and was replaced by former MMA champion Tyron Woodley. Paul, who had beaten Woodley by unanimous decision less than four months earlier, stopped Woodley in the rematch, scoring a sixth-round TKO victory.
Paul was scheduled to face Fury again in August, but that fight was also canceled when Fury faced visa issues and wasn’t able to travel from England to the United States.
Fury (8-0, 4 KOs), heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s half-brother, last fought in April, a decision win over Daniel Bocianski at Wembley Stadium, on the Tyson Fury-Dillian Whyte undercard.
Paul made his professional boxing debut in January 2020 with a first-round TKO victory over fellow YouTuber Ali Eson Gib. His second fight was a second-round one-punch KO of former NBA star Nate Robinson. He then defeated former Bellator and One Championship champion Ben Askren with a first-round TKO in April before taking on Woodley – twice – and then Silva.
