Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury has finally been confirmed. The pair will be taking to the ring in December, with serious bragging rights at stake.
Paul and Fury have been engaged in a war of words for several months now. Fury fought on the undercard of Paul vs Woodley, which intensified speculation that the pair could fight each other at some point in the future.
Though Fury has previously spoken publicly about rejecting offers from Paul’s camp that he believed were “not even worth getting out of bed for,” there has been some suggestion in recent weeks that talks have progressed behind the scenes.
We have now had confirmation of that is indeed the case, with both parties confirming on Friday night that the fight has been pencilled in for December 18th.
