Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury weigh-in results: All fighters make weight, main event officially on
Both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have officially made weight ahead of tomorrow night's highly anticipated clash. Furthermore, all the other fighters on the card made weight as well, meaning there were no last-minute mishaps for the promoter to deal with.
'The Problem Child' weighed in at 184 pounds, the lowest of his boxing career, with his opponent also weighing in at the same number. Fury has cut eight pounds less for this bout than his previous one, and the added hydration could play into his hands if the fight enters the later rounds.
Paul and Fury will battle it out in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after several years of negotiations and failed fight attempts. In fact, there were even fears that the fight could collapse at the last minute should a fighter not make weight.
However, both men have delivered on their promises, and the fight's scheduled to go ahead. Tommy Fury believes that he will finish Jake Paul early:
"His time is up, tomorrow night, his time is up. Jake Paul will no longer be boxing, I'm going tot put this man away in four rounds... This has been the best experience of my life, it's a dream come true and tomorrow night, it gets sweeter."
Jake Paul responded with:
"That man is capping, he's acting on stage getting all hyped up ad trying to act like his brother. This professional boxer is going down; it's easy, it's simple. I'm ready, cool, calm, and collected. He's shaking, you can see the nerves, I'm a killer, I'm a real f***ing dog, none of that fake s***. Like the posters say, the talk is over; we've done all the hoopla and it's time to figure out the truth."

Tommy Fury's father and brother, John and Tyson, have both threatened to retire their kin if he's unable to knock out Jake Paul.
Although 'The Problem Child' faces no such pressure from his family, the sheer amount of trash talk that Paul has engaged in has added plenty of pressure onto his shoulders.
Jake Paul claims he will be a boxing world champion
Jake Paul burst onto the combat sports scene several years ago and has quickly become one of the most talked-about boxers in the sport. Paul last defeated MMA pioneer Anderson Silva in the boxing ring and even went so far as to call out Canelo Alvarez post-fight.
During an interview with Max Kellerman, 'The Problem Child' recently stated that he would become a boxing world champion, much to Kellerman's surprise:
"I am going to be a world champion. Simple and plain, it's a clear goal and I know I can do it. I spar against world champions... So, I know I what it takes, I know I'm capable of it."
