One of the most anticipated boxing matches between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will take place this Sunday (February 26) in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, when Jake Paul, the Youtuber-turned-boxer, squares off against Tommy Fury. It should be remembered that the fight was originally scheduled for 2021 before being canceled and rescheduled for 2022. Unfortunately, the fight did not take place until 2022, thus it is a much-anticipated match between two in-form young fighters.
Speaking of Paul, the 26-year-old enters the cruiserweight bout in Saudi Arabia after a stellar recent run. He has a 6-0 record and defeated MMA star Anderson Silva by Knockout in his last fight. Fury, on the other hand, has an 8-0 record in his career, which bodes well for a showdown in the ring between the two titans.
Fury and Paul may earn USD 13 million
According to rumors, the fighters will earn a total of more than 13 million dollars in the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury pay-per-view (PPV) event. According to Sports Zion, Paul has a USD 3.2 million fight purse in the fight and will receive 65% of the PPV money. As a result, his total prize money, including sponsorships, is expected to be USD 8.6 million.
Meanwhile, Fury will reportedly earn USD 2 million in addition to 35% of the PPV shares, bringing his total earnings to an amazing USD 4.5 million.
Overall, it promises to be an exciting bout between Paul, popularly known as the Trouble Child, and Fury, who is also Tyson Fury’s younger brother (who has jokingly warned Tommy that he can remain in Saudi and change his surname if he is defeated by Paul). A lot is at risk for both boxers, and boxing fans can’t wait for Sunday’s main event to begin.
Who is it going to be? Fury or Paul? The only way to know is to wait and see…
