How to watch Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury in UK

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will finally face-off tonight after 18 months of build-up and anticipation. The fight, which has been rescheduled twice due to cancellations, will take place in Diriyah Arena, Saudi Arabia in front of 15,000 excited fans.

Jake Paul is a YouTube superstar who, like his brother Logan, has pivoted to boxing in recent years. Meanwhile, Tommy Fury is best-known for his appearance on Love Island where he met girlfriend Molly May-Hague, but has been born-and-bred in one of boxing’s most famous families.

And there’s more than just bragging rights on the line for Paul and Fury when the bell sounds tonight. In an unexpected move, the World Boxing Council (WBC) has confirmed that if Jake Paul manages to defeat Tommy Fury, then he will be awarded a top 40 cruiserweight world ranking. This decision hasn’t been without controversy.

Speaking ahead of the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight in Saudi Arabia, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed that “if Jake Paul wins his upcoming bout against Tommy Fury, The WBC ratings committee will rank him in the Cruiserweight division. Jake Paul has been close to The WBC for several years, starting with the first event promoted in the UK when his brother, Logan, fought KSI; On that night Jake won The WBC amateur belt in the undercard fights. Jake has dedication and respect to the sport and The WBC will not tolerate discrimination against anyone, he deserves the opportunities that any other boxer has.”
