Tommy Fury shoves Jake Paul after going nose to nose at the pre-fight weigh-in in Riyadh

Watch live as Jake Paul and Tommy Fury compete in a boxing match tonight in Saudi Arabia.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is 6-0 as a pro with four KO wins, including stoppages from former mixed martial arts champions Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. The 26-year-old American last boxed in October, beating UFC legend Anderson Silva on points. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Fury – half brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury – is 8-0 (4 KOs) as a pro. The Brit is best known as a former contestant on a reality TV show island of lovelast fought on the undercard of his brother’s fight with Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April.

Tonight is the third attempt at staging Paul vs Fury. The fight fell through in December 2021 when Fury withdrew citing injuries and illness, and collapsed again last August when travel problems prevented the Brit from reaching the US.

The build-up to this fight was heated as Paul leaked news of the birth of Fury’s baby Bambi before the 23-year-old and his partner Molly-Mae Hague could make an announcement, while both fighters had promised a KO win. Things came to a head this week when Fury shoved Paul at a tense weigh-in and the men will look to settle their rivalry tonight in Diriyah.

The YouTube star-turned-boxer made a peace offering on the matter by giving Fury a “really nice designer baby branded gift” ahead of their fight tonight in Saudi Arabia.

After a tense press conference between the rivals this week, Paul and Fury sat down for a face-to-face interview.

Paul, 26, said: “I do apologize for leaking the announcement of your baby. To be honest, I didn’t want to say that beforehand. I just want to say that I didn’t want to leak this announcement. I actually have a gift for Bambi that’s like a really nice designer baby brand.”

He presented Fury with a white ribbon-locked box that the 23-year-old once had island of love candidate accepted.

Paul told Sky Sports: “One hundred percent. I think it’s a massive fight. There is hostility.

“His team is ready, my team is ready. We are in talks. Pretty much everything is queued up and ready to go.

“So I’ll get through Sunday and then move on to Nate Diaz.”

Tommy Fury yesterday insisted he wasn’t ready to “play games” and claimed he pushed Jake Paul at the weigh-in to prove to the American that “this is my show”.

The pair met in Saudi Arabia on Saturday after successfully weighing up for their much-anticipated fight tonight.

Tension was broken when Paul appeared to grab Fury’s chest, resulting in Tyson Fury’s brother shoving the YouTube star-turned-boxer, throwing him off balance.

“You see fear in the man’s eyes,” Fury told iFL TV. “He didn’t know what to say or do, this is my show. He talked a lot, he has to support him. He goes to bed early. [I pushed him] He’s not getting away from here just so he can see that this is my show. It’s me. I saw fear in his eyes.”

“Are we going to do a video?” Jake asks Paul, half directing the question to me and half to his rep on the Zoom call. “Um, yes?” I answer. “I don’t usually upload the video from these types of chats, but…”

But it seems strange to be interviewing one of the biggest screen presences of the last decade and not have him appear on screen.

As I start by asking what the biggest misconception about Jake Paul is, he thinks for a moment before laughing, “I think people… they don’t think I’m a real person. And I think they often judge me by my past instead of who I am today. I think as humans we do that naturally, so I get it. But yeah, I think that’s it…

“And they compare me to my brother,” he quickly adds, referring to Logan, 27, who has followed a similar path to his younger sibling. “Whenever he does something wrong, I get in trouble for it. I’d probably say that’s the biggest thing.”
