Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury is scheduled for eight rounds in the cruiserweight division and is the featured boxing attraction this weekend from the Diriyah Arena…
This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.It took long enough, but Paul is finally facing off against an actual pro boxer in rival Fury. There has been much said about Paul’s inability to fight a boxer thus far, instead facing former MMA and NBA stars, but this feels like a step back from him. Fury has the last name, but is as far removed from the class of half-brothers Hughie and heavyweight king Tyson.
The social media influencer has a knockout rate of 66.6% and an average fight time of 4.3 rounds. Paul is developing boxing instincts and showed a lot of versatility in his decision win over Anderson Silva last year, and now he’s on the verge of finally toppling a professional boxer. In spite of that, Fury is the classically-trained boxer, which is an edge that is keeping the lines close. The Manchester native has a 50% knockout rate and an average fight time of three rounds. This will be the first time Fury is scheduled for an eight-round fight. Questions linger about his conditioning and punching power, but he possesses a long, stiff jab that can punish Paul from a distance.
