Follow live reaction after Jake Paul lost to rival Tommy Fury in an exhibition boxing match in Saudi Arabia this evening.
A close contest over eight rounds went to the judges’ scorecards and Fury won two of the three, with Paul taking the other verdict, giving the Briton a split decision victory.
The build-up to this bout was heated, with Paul leaking the news of the birth of Fury’s baby Bambi before the 23-year-old and his partner Molly-Mae Hague could make an announcement, while both fighters promised a knockout win. It all came to a head this week when Fury shoved Paul at a tense weigh-in, and the men settled their rivalry in Diriyah tonight.
Paul vowed to enact his rematch clause after the fight, and Fury said he was ready to do it all again too.
