Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have now ‘completed the deal’ after agreeing to fight for the third time, with fans hoping that on the occasion they will actually hit the ring without delay or cancellation.
Given their respective levels of popularity outside of the ring – Fury for his last name and Love Island, Paul for his incredible YouTube success – the duel between the two seems to make the most sense for the position. their career.
This has long been known to both sides, with the public repeatedly hyping up an event that has so far not materialized. The pair were expected to fight in December 2021, but a broken rib and chest infection kept the Briton out of action.
Rescheduled last August, their second arrangement was closer to happening, but problems on Fury’s side once again put things on hold. The young boxer from the UK was denied entry to the US.
At the time, Paul announced that he was done with Fury’s and would not attempt to negotiate a third time, claiming that income was lost and time was wasted.
However, that all seems to have changed and the final collision seems to be over.
Combat sports journalist, Ariel Helwani, reported that the fight was sealed and scheduled for February 25th.

Fury, on the other hand, has family pressure. His father John, and brother Tyson, have repeatedly said the 23-year-old ‘can’t lose’ to Jake Paul, and would be forced to reconsider his career if he did.
