Are there any conditions around this ? I'm terms of knockouts and head shots being off the menu ? If not, I favour Fury strongly. The betting is astounding IMO.

There never is and never has been, that's just something that people like to say for some reason.

Coming from a guy who's been in past Beterbiev camps, that's high praise indeed.

I wouldn't read too much into that, the 4 guys Fury has stopped in the pros had records of 0-26, 2-26, 0-11 and 0-9

Will the Fury's have to stop talking about their "fighting jeans" if Tommy loses and have to start wearing bog standard denims?

Jake Paul-Tommy Fury: DAZN, Fite TV Nab Canada Distribution Rights; Full Global Schedule Released

The platform on which Jake Paul made his pro debut is back in the fold for his latest ring adventure.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), Paul's promotional company, revealed global distribution rights for the content creator and unbeaten cruiserweight's upcoming grudge match versus Tommy Fury. DAZN and Fite TV join ESPN+ and BT Sport Box Office among the four primary platforms to distribute their scheduled eight-round pay-per-view main event on Sunday, February 26 from Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

The event was already confirmed to be carried on ESPN+ Pay-Per-View in the U.S. and BT Sport Box Office in the U.K. DAZN and Fite TV will serve as the digital distributors for the pay-per-view event in Canada and Brazil.

It will mark the first fight for Paul (6-0, 5KOs) on DAZN since his pro debut, when he flattened fellow content creator AnEsonGib in the opening round of their January 2020 clash during Super Bowl week in Miami Gardens, Florida.

“We are huge fans of Jake at DAZN and are thrilled to be working with MVP once again to broadcast his mega fight versus Tommy Fury on PPV in Canada and Brazil”, said Joseph Markowski, CEO North America, DAZN Group. “This grudge match has been bubbling away for months and is simply unmissable.”

Added Michael Weber, COO of Fite.tv: "The whole world loves boxing, and we’ve seen fans tune in for Jake Paul again and again as we have carried every single PPV fight of his. MVP has been an incredible partner to work with at every step of our relationship. And here's what I know: anyone who still questions that Jake has changed the game will get their answers at this event.”

The show also includes a terrific WBC cruiserweight title fight between defending champ Ilunga 'Junior' Makabu (29-2, 25KOs) and former two-division titlist Badou Jack (27-3-3, 16KOs).

DAZN was boots on the ground for the influx of social media influencers making their way to the ring, dating back to the November 2019 rematch between KSi and Logan Paul, Jake's older brother. Their first fight came as an exhibition bout in August 2018 in the UK, with DAZN serving as the exclusive provider for the sanctioned pro bout at Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) in Los Angeles.

Jake Paul made his pro debut just two months later, which marked his lone fight on DAZN. He has since appeared exclusively on PPV, with the rescheduled fight versus Fury (8-0, 4KOs) serving as his fifth consecutive headliner.

The two were previously due to meet atop a December 2021 Showtime PPV from AMALIE Arena in Tampa, only for Manchester's Fury—the younger brother of lineal/WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24KOs)—to withdraw due to injury and illness. Paul went on to face Tyron Woodley in a rematch, where he scored a sensational sixth-round knockout.

Efforts to reschedule the bout for last August 6 at Madison Square Garden New York City were dead on arrival. Fury endured a visa issue, joining his father and older brother in the inability to travel to the U.S. The event was subsequently canceled altogether when plans for Paul to face Hasim Rahman, Jr. collapsed due to a weight discrepancy.

Paul resurfaced later in the year, when he outpointed combat sports legend Anderson Silva over eight rounds atop a Showtime PPV last October 29 in Glendale, Arizona. From there came the determination to revisit plans with Fury, with whom a grudge match has been brewing since the Brit's undercard appearance on the Paul-Woodley I August 2021 PPV event in Cleveland, Ohio.

Fury has not fought a sanctioned pro bout since a six-round points win over Daniel Bocianski last April 23 at Wembley Stadium in London. His last ring appearance was a dowgraded exhibition bout versus late replacement Rolly Lambert on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather-Deji PPV last November 13 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

“This fight has been long awaited and because of that, we have seen incredible demand from fans across the globe," said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP. "We are grateful and excited to bring Paul vs. Fury to the homes of millions through the support of our esteemed pay-per-view partners."

Considering it’s two weeks away, there is no crazy build up yet. When is it due to start?

TBF, its been built up the past 2 years.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I've read that Paul’s base purse will be $3.2m, he'll get the lions share of 65% PPV revenue. Could be looking at up to $10m overall.

Fury is set to receive a $2m base purse and the remaining 35% PPV share. Depending on projections, should see him taking home close to $5.

The cancerous WBC will now rank Jake Paul if he beats Fury, on the one hand disgusting and totally predictable from that fat bastard Sulaiman, on the other hand I've probably seen worse ranked fighters in all governing bodies

It's the most egregious example I've ever seen.

[The Gratest]

Rumours are, if Paris Fury can drop a few pounds, she'll get a straight shot at the WBC Bridgerweight title.

Hmmm. She’d be too big and strong for Babic if he wins in Poland.

[Delta Jay]

Would anyone else get a ranking for beating Tommy?

Crazy fight. I just hope JP ends up mandatory for Makabu or something and gets absolutely obliterated in 30 seconds or something and puts this silliness to bed.
