YouTube sensation Jake Paul is known for his showboating skills which is mainly the reason why he is so popular among his fans. The 26-year-old Internet star has seen a rise in popularity since transitioning into boxing with victories over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. However, he is yet to face a professional boxer which has been the main criticism of his short career. Now. ‘The Problem Child’ wishes to write off this criticism as well as he will now face Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.
The two rivals have been scheduled to fight for over two years. However, they have failed to meet in the ring due to multiple reasons which will change on February 26th. Despite the challenge ahead of Paul, he does not seem too worried after rekindling his showmanship and appearing at the venue in a Ski Mask.

This won’t be an easy task for Paul but it is something he is capable of and will be hungry to prove all of his doubters wrong.
