Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury | BT PPV - 26 February 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

I am surprised how many have backed Fury on the poll.

The more I think about this the more I think Fury gets sparked

Agreed.

The poll has been going since last year

Jake Paul has signed to face Mike Tyson at MSG in August

Hope Tyson rolls back the years to when he was 20 and does an Spinks type job. Obviously it'll be a walk around though

Not happening I don’t think. Fury said he’s now signed the contract.

[maverick23]

Fight’s now been formerly announced.

[jameswilson]

How long do we take to remind ourselves how horrendous Fury is on the mic?


‘Listen. Jake Paul’s getting knocked spaaaarrrrrk out!’

Ad infinitum.

Amanda Serrano vs Brenda Carabajal official for Aug. 6 Showtime PPV

Amanda Serrano’s next fight is set, as she’ll defend her featherweight titles against Brenda Carabajal on Aug. 6.

Amanda Serrano’s next fight is fully set, as the WBC and WBO featherweight titleholder announced on social media that she will be facing WBO interim titlist and mandatory challenger Brenda Carabajal.

The fight will be featured on the Aug. 6 Showtime pay-per-view headlined by Jake Paul, which is being marketed as a double main event with Serrano. Paul is still expected to face Tommy Fury, but that is not yet official.

Carabajal was one of the expected contenders for the slot, in part because of her interim WBO status, and in part because they were only three fighters (counting her) at 126 who could really fill the role, and only a couple others who could have maybe moved up from 122.

Serrano (42-2-1, 30 KO) is coming off of a much-debated loss in a legitimately historic fight in Apr. 30, where she dropped a split decision in a tremendous bout against undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor.

Matchroom wanted to do a rematch in Ireland, but Serrano and Most Valuable Promotions (Paul’s company) passed on that. That doesn’t mean there will never be a Taylor vs Serrano rematch — it’ll be worth money — but it does mean that Serrano is not going to be Taylor’s big “homecoming” opponent, for fair enough reasons given the industry boxing is.

Carabajal (18-5-1, 9 KO) will be an enormous underdog against Serrano, of course. The 31-year-old “La Pumita,” from Argentina, beat Debora Dionicius by majority decision on May 13 to win the interim belt in San Lorenzo, with very tight scores of 95-95, 96-94, and 96-94 from the judges.

She is also a former interim IBF titleholder, and lost that belt to Sarah Mahfoud in Feb. 2020 in Copenhagen. Mahfoud was elevated to full titleholder status five months later. Carabajal has also twice challenged for lightweight titles, losing shots in 2016 and 2017.

Before her loss to Taylor, Serrano hadn’t dropped a fight since 2012, when she was beaten by Frida Wallberg in Sweden. Fighting with hard featherweight weight limits in her career, Serrano is 9-0 (7 KO). (She’s had other fights at featherweight, but they were early in her career when usually you get a little wiggle room on the weight.)

That was Logan Paul vs. KSI rematch. But it was £12.95.

It’s not officially been announced from BT.

But the fight was supposed to take place in December last year and that was being carried by BT PPV.

Press Release

SHOWTIME SPORTS and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced that Jake “The Problem Child” Paul will take on longtime nemesis and undefeated pro boxer Tommy “TNT” Fury, and Amanda “Real Deal” Serrano will defend her Unified Featherweight World Title against power-punching Argentine Brenda “La Pumita” Carabajal in co- main events at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, August 6 live on SHOWTIME PPV. Tickets for the twin bill will go on sale Wednesday, June 29 at 11 a.m. ET and can be purchased at www.msg.com.

Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) and Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) will go face-to-face for the first time at a press conference on Wednesday, June 29 at Madison Square Garden to preview their highly anticipated showdown. Serrano (42-2-1, 30 KOs) will also be in attendance while the challenger Carabajal (18-5-1, 9 KOs) will remain in Argentina to focus on her training. The press conference will stream live on the SHOWTIME SPORTS YouTube channel and Jake Paul’s YouTube channel.

Paul and Fury were originally slated to settle their differences in December, but Fury withdrew from the bout because of a medical issue. Paul went on to record a scintillating one-punch knockout of Tyron Woodley who stepped in as a late replacement for a rematch of the pair’s August 2021 clash. While Paul expressed little interest in granting Fury another opportunity, he has since changed his mindset. The Sports Illustrated 2021 Breakout Boxer of the Year wants to punish Fury for withdrawing from their December fight and to silence the naysayers who have questioned the quality of his opposition so far in his young career. The 25-year-old Cleveland native started his pro boxing journey in January 2020 and is facing an opponent in Fury who is a more experienced boxer than he has faced and comes from a renowned boxing family.

The half-brother of WBC Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury, Tommy won four of his first five bouts by stoppage after turning pro in 2018 and most recently dominated a 10-1 opponent in April to capture his eighth win in front of 94,000 fans. Fighting out of Manchester, England, Fury started boxing at 12 years old and won two regional titles, reaching the U.K. national final in 2016.

After knocking out British YouTube star AnEsonGib in his boxing debut and defeating former NBA star Nate Robinson with a highlight-reel knockout, Paul made quick work of former MMA champion Ben Askren in April 2021 with a first-round knockout. Paul has since defeated Woodley twice on SHOWTIME PPV – the second time with one of the most devastating knockouts in recent memory in front of a sold-out crowd. Paul is fighting out of Puerto Rico under the tutelage of Danny Smith and B.J. Flores.

After becoming the first female boxer to headline Madison Square Garden in her unforgettable battle against Katie Taylor in April, Serrano is back as the only female boxer to headline MSG twice. She takes on interim WBO Featherweight Champion Carabajal, a battle-tested opponent who has never been knocked out.

Having won titles in every division between 115 and 140 pounds, Serrano, a Puerto Rican southpaw from Brooklyn, holds the Guinness World Record for most women’s boxing world championships (7) won in different weight classes. Her narrow split-decision loss to Taylor in a lightweight championship bout at Madison Square Garden drew a raucous, sold-out crowd of 19,187 who observed Serrano nearly finish Taylor off with a barrage of punches in the fifth round.

Carabajal captured the interim WBO Featherweight World Title beating fellow Argentine Debora Dionicius by majority decision in May. In 2019, Carabajal became the first Argentine female boxer to ever win a world title on American soil when she scored a unanimous decision over Elena Gradinar in Atlantic City, N.J., for the vacant interim WBO Featherweight belt. Born in the small town of Palma Sola in the northern province of Jujuy, Argentina, Carabajal was Argentina’s super featherweight champion from 2015-17 and was a silver medalist in the South American Games. She has faced six world champions and has stepped into the ring against notable names like Gradina, Maria Moderna, Paola Ibarra, Maria Capriolo and Tamara Nunez.

Yeah - I know. Couple of ropey world title fights on there too. I don’t think Jake’s ever been on Sky PPV on Sky.

Does anyone think Tommy will pull out

[Dioufy]

Does anyone think Tommy will pull out

Nah. He can’t. Even if he picks up an injury after everything that’s happened and with John and Tyson pushing him he has no chance.

I think Tommy getting a battering. Paul is better than him and has the bigger balls imo.

Paul TKO8

Yeah but I think Tommy is lacking confidence. I’ve heard he’s chinny which is why he gets so protected.

[Spud]

Fury is getting crushed and watch the pathetic excises come out

[daz74]

I haven’t seen all their fights, but from what i have seen, I think Jake Paul wins this fight.
They are both bell ends, but I think Tommy is the bigger bell end
