Tommy Fury and Jake Paul will finally enter the boxing ring on February 26 in Riyadh, after their previous two attempts were cancelled. Paul and Fury developed a bitter rivalry over the past year due to the trash-talking and the negotiations, with the cancelled matches adding fuel to the fire. The winner will also be awarded the cruiserweight ranking with the WBC.

Tommy Fury had to cancel their previous two matches, with him being ill and injured during their first attempt back in 2021. Fury again pulled out of their second attempt in August 2022 due to Visa issues, which restricted him to travel to the USA, where the match was being held. The match will be considered significant for Jake Paul, as the YouTuber began progressing in his career as a boxer, defeating many opponents.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman stated that if Jake Paul wins the boxing match against Tommy Fury he would be officially included in the ranking of the council. Defeating an actual professional boxer will be a huge stepping stone for Jake Paul in his journey as a Boxer. Meanwhile, creating history in front of the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will make it even more memorable for the American YouTuber and Boxer.
