Jake Paul set to fight Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia (Rumor)
Jake Paul has been linked with a potential boxing bout with Tommy Fury for a long time. The internet is rife with rumors that the fight will finally come to fruition this year on the neutral territory of Saudi Arabia.
In December 2021, they attempted to orchestrate the fight. However, Fury pulled out due to a broken rib he suffered during training. The bout was rescheduled to take place in the United States eight months later, but it got canceled again after the British fighter was denied admission to the country.
Tommy Fury…ur getting paid a lot of money to be a professional. But time & time again you show that ur not.
Missed a fight bc of “broken ribs”, missed a fight bc you “missed a flight” & now you miss weight by 7 pounds!
I feel sorry for Frank & George Warren & the Fury name.
In the time since their bout was scrapped, both fighters have faced off against other opponents, with Fury coming out on top over Daniel Bocianski in April last year. Jake Paul, meanwhile, improved to 6-0 with victories against UFC legends like Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.
Saudi Arabia has been contesting hard to host the bout and trying to lure all parties involved with substantial financial rewards. Based on the latest rumors, the bout will finally take place this year.
Prince Khaled bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Chairman of Skill Challenge Entertainment, hinted at the potential matchup in a cryptic Instagram post accompanied by an audio clip that sang the words:
"Signed, sealed, delivered."
Check out the post below:
Prince Khaled bin Abdulaziz Al Saud played a crucial part in staging the 'Clash on the Dunes,' a rematch between heavyweight boxers Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz. It was the first world heavyweight title bout held in Saudi Arabia as part of the Diriyah Season of the Kingdom.
He was also prominently involved in staging a rematch of epic proportions between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk in August 2022.

Jake Paul alleges that Tommy Fury is "ducking him" despite lucrative offer
The antagonism between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury has grown intense over the past few years. Despite the fact that they have never fought each other, it is worth noting that they were set to do so on two previous occasions.
Jake Paul disclosed that Fury was offered a hefty sum, but the British boxer is still avoiding a fight against 'The Problem Child.' Paul responded to a tweet claiming Fury was offered $2.5 million to fight him by stating:
"I cannot confirm nor deny this accurate statement. What I can confirm is Tommy Fury is never going to see the kind of money he is being offered to step in the ring with me. And yet he’s still on the run. #Boxer"
