Jake Paul is scheduled to finally face Tommy Fury in his next boxing bout on February 25 in Saudi Arabia.
Journalist Ariel Helwani was the first to report the news of the matchup being a "done deal" via a tweet, with ESPN's Mike Coppinger and Marc Raimondi providing the initial reporting on Saudi Arabia being the host site. However, no official announcement has yet been made by either fighter regarding the bout. This is the third time the pair will be scheduled to clash, the heated rivals were initially going to meet in December 2021 but Fury withdrew from the bout due to a broken rib and chest infection. They then rescheduled the fight for a second time to take place last August, but again Fury couldn't make the date as he was denied entry into the U.S. due to his family's ties with suspected crime boss, Daniel Kinahan.
Paul is 6-0 since becoming a pro boxer in January 2020 and is coming off of a unanimous decision win over former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, back in October. Fury on the other hand is 8-0 as a pro and will try to build on a points decision victory over Daniel Bocianski last April.
