When is Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury? Date, UK start time and undercard

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have teased a fight for several months but the pair will finally settle the score on December 18.

Both internet personality Paul and Love Island star Fury and are unbeaten in the ring, with Paul amassing a 4-0 record and Fury having a bit more experience at 7-0.

The pair recently fought on the same pay-per-view card in Cleveland in August, which was headlined by Paul's split decision win over former UFC star Tyron Woodley.

The celebrity duo clashed backstage when Paul interrupted an interview Fury was doing and caused a brief scuffle between their entourages.

After Fury turned down a £1 million offer, a $500,00 'name change' bet from Paul enticed the Brit in and they will meet in Miami this December.

And here's all you need to know about the fight...

Quotes

Paul: "I’ve been the favourite, so now I almost want to go into a fight where it’s like ‘there’s no way he’s going to do this.’

“I just want to keep proving people wrong because I could take a social media influencer and fight them right now and make a decent bag. It’s just a tough sell because I did all of that.

“As long as I’m having fun with it, trolling and making myself laugh and it’s authentic to what I want to say and believe.

"I’m not going to do something that gets myself killed, but also I’ll toe that line and mess with these guys.”

Fury: “I will end his boxing career. There is no more Jake Paul after we fight, that’s it.
"Jake Paul gets me nowhere in boxing terms - he’s not a boxer, so beating him doesn’t get me a world title shot, it doesn’t get me any respect from any of the other fighters.

“Everyone knows what other fighters think of him, so it doesn’t get me anywhere - it’s a good payday, an easy fight, but then I’m going back into the proper boxing world.

“I’m going to win some titles, go down in history, and do what I’ve been doing my whole life.”
