Jake Paul and Tommy Fury weigh-in results as rivals face off for final time

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have both made weight for tomorrow night's grudge fight, finally confirming they will step into the ring with one another in Riyadh.

There was no controversy on the scales with Paul coming in at a career-low 184lb and Fury the same, eight pounds heavier than his last professional outing last April. The YouTube star is in the process of getting down to light-heavyweight, although the winner of tomorrow's bout will be ranked at cruiserweight by the WBC.

The weigh-in is the final step on Paul and Fury's lengthy journey to a massive money clash in Saudi Arabia after two years of build-up and multiple failed fight attempts. And despite the fact that Fury has only ever tipped the scales higher than 189lb twice, there were nerves that after so many efforts to make a fight that they could stumble at the final hurdle.

But no such fears were realised as both men came in under the limit before being held apart during a heated face-off as both promised an early stoppage. "His time is up, tomorrow night his time is up," Fury said. "Jake Paul will no longer be boxing, I'm going tot put this man away in four rounds.

"This has been the best experience of my life, it's a dream come true andd omorrow night it gets sweeter. Tomorrow night you're going to see why my last name is Fury and why we're the best who have ever lived."

Paul retorted: "That man is capping, he's acting on stage getting all hyped up ad trying to act like his brother.T his professional boxer is going down; it's easy,it's simple. I'm ready, cool, calm and collected. Hes' shaking, you can see the nerves, I'm a killer, I'm a real f***ing dog, none of that fake s***. Like the posters say, the talk is over; we've done all the hoopla and it's time to figure out the truth."

The pair faced-off one last time before the bout, with both men promising knockouts early in the bout. "I'm saying there's definitely going to be a knockout in this fight," Fury warned earlier this week. "And I'm going to be very surprised if it makes it three or four rounds. If this fight is over in the first or the second don't be surprised."

“We’ve picked this guy apart," Paul said in his own prediction. "We’ve studied him. He makes a lot of mistakes. He’s great on offence. He’s got a great jab. Lots of combos. Speed. Good footwork. Good movement. He’s a good boxer, but he’s not a great boxer. His lack of defense and lack of head movement is going to be exposed on Sunday.”
