The stage is set, and the days grow closer, as YouTuber turned-boxing sensation, Jake Paul, prepares himself to prove to naysayers and the boxing community at large. And, in turn, set to rest the long-drawn debate about him fighting ‘a real boxer’. Paul will face his longtime nemesis, Tommy Fury, at the Diriyah Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 26, 2023. With the hype and anticipation surrounding the fight, it looks like the bout is even drawing a lot of attention from non-fans as well. In fact, former professional boxer, Carl Frampton had a rather interesting personal account to share about this upcoming fight.
My wife who hates boxing wants to watch @jakepaul vs @tommytntfury My daughter who never mentions boxing wants to watch this. Grannys in the street are asking me about it and as a former fighter I want to see it. Like it or not, this is big!

The anticipation around the fight is undoubtedly high. Which was unsurprising as the fight was previously scheduled to take place in both 2021 and 2022. But did not materialize as Fury had to back out due to personal issues. Meanwhile, Fury had a special message ahead of their upcoming fight. As per BoxingScene, talking about what he is bringing in, Fury said, “I’m ready to deal with this man. This is a public service announcement going out for everybody, this man won’t box again. This will be the last time you see Jake Paul in the ring against a true professional anyway.”
