Jake Paul has announced he will team up with Tiktok sensation Hasbulla Magomedov in preparation for his fight with Tommy Fury after it was revealed Tyson Fury will help coach his brother.
Paul will fight Fury, who has won each of his seven professional fights to date, on December 18 in Tampa Bay, Florida. The fight will take place over eight rounds at a 192lb catchweight and is currently scheduled for 2am GMT.
The controversial content creator wrote the ‘officialy announcement’ on his Instagram story, along with a photo of Hasbulla wearing a life jacket with his hands pointed up.
“It’s confirmed that Hasbulla will be coming to my camp in a few weeks to train and corner me for this fight @hasbulla,” Paul wrote.
The announcement comes after Paul took to Instagram to react to the news that Fury would have older brother and world heavyweight champion Tyson in his corner to coach the 22-year-old.
“Love this,” Paul wrote in his story.
“My previous opponents have had coaching from Floyd Mayweather (twice) and the legendary Freddie Roach to no success..and now Tyson will try and help lil Timmy.”
Details emerged that Fury accepted the condition inserted by Paul to change his name to ‘Tommy Fumbles’ if he is beaten by the controversial content creator, with the full deal set to earn the Brit £1.5million if he wins.
Both men are undefeated, with Fury fighting seven times to Paul’s four after the YouTuber turned professional last year. The Brit holds a record of 7-0 but has fought limited opposition since turning professional in 2018.
Meanwhile, Paul defeated fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA star Nate Robinson, retired MMA star Ben Askren and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
Paul and Fury will meet face-to-face in Las Vegas next Saturday on November 6, the same day Canelo Alvarez takes on Caleb Plant in the same city.
The rivals will also meet two days later in Florida with tickets going on sale on November 10.
