Jake Paul is the bookies favourite ahead of the clash with Tommy Fury as the two finally meet in the ring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia after two years in the waiting. The match promises a ranking place in the cruiserweight division by the WBC - something that Paul has never achieved despite a professional 6-0 record.
Paul, 26, is the bookies favourite at 5/6 with Betfred while Fury is 6/5 and a draw is a longshot at 10/1. The bookies are offering an exclusive offer for Paul to win at evens too.
The social media personality has certainly made an impact in the professional circuit since his debut as a professional back in 2020 against YouTuber AnEsonGib at The Meridian in Florida which Paul won in the first round. He has since won fights through knockout or technical knockout against Nate Robinson, Ben Askren and his second fight against Tyron Woodley. He has only managed to go all the way on a points decision twice including his last fight with Anderson Silva.
For Fury, this will be his pay-per-view debut after years of bad-mouthing one another in front of the cameras and a cancellation back in December 2021. The 23-year-old pulled out of the originally scheduled bout because of a bacterial chest infection and broken rib before returning to the ring to face Daniel Bocianski on points in a six-round fight.
Tip: Jake Paul to win on points- 12/5
