Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury on Feb 25?
Tommy Fury would be Jake Paul’s first opponent who shared his age and weight, and more significantly for spectators, who had only ever trained in boxing rather than moving from another discipline.
In December 2021, Jake and Tommy agreed to meet in Florida. The British competitor, however, was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to illness or injury. Tyron Woodley entered the fight to face Jake again and was eliminated. The two struck a contract to rematch in New York in August 2022. However, Tommy’s admittance into the USA was refused, forcing him to withdraw a second time.
