      Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury live stream and TV guide – how to watch Saudi clash

      This weekend, the pair will finally put the trash talk behind them to lace up their gloves for one epic battle.
      Fury said at the press conference earlier this week: “Look at my eyes. You’re getting put to sleep inside four rounds.
      “I’m a fresh young fighter. You had two lucky escapes at this fight. You should have taken escape, you’ve blown your ticket – I’m coming to take your head off.”
      Paul replied: “I think we make a deal. If you win – I’ll pay you double what I’m paying you already – but if I win I take everything I’m paying you since you’re so confident. Deal or no deal?”

      Fury gladly accepted.
      How to watch Paul vs Fury

      Big fight prediction
      This fight will come down to experience, and while neither fighter has much of it, Tommy has more.
      The Fighting Fury has been boxing since he was 14 or 15 years old and has the basic fundamentals that should carry him through here.
      Paul has come on leaps and bounds since his debut in 2019, but it’s going to be difficult for him to really impose himself against someone with a stiff jab and a long reach.
      If Fury gets going early and makes the middle of the ring his, hard jabs should keep Paul honest until the 23-year-old is ready to land something big.
      Fury has to be careful of Paul’s big overhand right, the one that knocked out Tyron Woodley.
      But as long as he avoids that, Fury wins this one with relative ease. Forget all the bluster.

      And the two icons joined forces in the Middle East on Friday to enjoy a bite to eat before being handed swords to wave around with some of the locals.
      The Baddest Man on the Planet shared footage of the get-together on Instagram, and hilariously captioned it with: “Two Tyson’s are better than 1.”
      It comes after Tyson, 56, spoke about his excitement over the fight, despite not knowing who Tommy was.
      The American has been a fan of Paul’s polarising boxing career and even had him on his comeback undercard in 2020.

      But Iron Mike was unaware of who Fury was, despite being the younger brother of world champion Tyson.
      He told talkSPORT:  “Hey, listen, I only saw Paul, I’ve never seen Fury fight. I don’t know, I never saw Fury fight.”
      Paul, 26, knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, the night Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition bout.
      Has since gone 6-0, beating ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.

      Fury, 23, will be the first recognised boxer Paul has so far faced, but his 6-0 record was hailed by the man who famously bit a chunk out of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
      Tyson said: “Well, he does have boxing experience.
      “He boxed before because it shows in his fights and he’s won against people that he shouldn’t beat.
      “And listen, I don’t think they brought him here to lose either, because he’s good for fighting and is good for boxing.
      “He makes more money than the champions of boxing. So he’s an enigma.”
      Meanwhile, John Fury, the father of Gypsy King and Tommy, is also in Saudi preparing his son for the bout.
      He revealed previously how he had named Tyson after the former world champion, and Iron Mike thanked him for the gesture when they came face-to-face this week.
      John told Tyson: “Here he is, my main man. This is him, the man who I named my son after.
      “Best heavyweight of his era, best young man ever born. Michael Tyson.”
      The veteran responded: “Your son has taken the title to the next level.”

      John replied: “He will not let your name down Michael.”
      Before Tyson added: “Thank you and I appreciate that. I didn’t want to say it in public but I’m honoured. Thank you, really.”

      Jake Paul hands Tommy Fury official double-or-nothing contract with lawyers to check over documents for fight bet

      by

      JAKE PAUL handed Tommy Fury a double-or-nothing contract to make their pre-fight bet official. The celebrity boxing rivals are finally due to settle their score in the ring on Sunday night in Saudi Arabia.
      Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have agreed a winner-take-all bet
      The double-or-nothing contract
      But Paul upped the ante as he proposed a winner-take-all wager, with Fury DOUBLING his purse if he wins, but walking away with nothing in defeat.
      The deal was accepted on stage as the pair shook hands before engaging in a row and being held.
      But when they sat down for a face to face interview later that day, Paul brought out the paperwork to sign and seal the bet.
      He said: “Bring out the contract, lawyers already drafted it up this week.

      “And like I said, if I can reiterate; if I win, I take all the money all the money you’re being paid, if you win, I double it up.”
      Fury’s father and coach John then walked on stage, as Paul asked: “Why’s the dad always coming in?”
      But John responded: “We need to have our representative look at that. Email it, I just want to make sure it’s genuine.”
      Paul vowed to “expose” Fury if he refused to sign on the dotted line but John insisted that will not be a problem.

      Watch Jake Paul hand Tommy Fury a gift for daughter Bambi after apologising for leaking baby’s birth ahead of fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL handed Tommy Fury a gift for his baby daughter Bambi after apologising for leaking her birth online. The American announced the rescheduled grudge match on January 27 after Fury twice pulled out in the past amid injury and US visa issues.
      Jake Paul gifting Tommy Fury’s baby daughter Bambi a present
      Paul, 26, posted: “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived.
      “Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue.”
      Baby Bambi was born just four days prior but neither Fury, 23, or girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, also 23, had announced it.
      So just days before they settle their score in the ring in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, Paul apologised for his social media reveal in their face to face.

      He said: “I apologise actually for leaking your baby’s announcement, I honestly didn’t mean to say that before.
      But Fury downplayed it, replying: “I wanted to address this, right. This is amazing.
      “This guy is all the way overseas and he’s putting out a statement, so is 20 million other people.
      “Do you know how many people guessed that out baby was here? So when he put it out, I was like, OK, so you’ve just joined the rest of them?’

      Gervonta Davis confirms Ryan Garcia superfight is ‘on’ as Tank reveals Las Vegas fight date

      by

      GERVONTA Davis and Ryan Garcia have confirmed they will face off in Las Vegas on April 22.The announcement was imminent with reports claiming the two unbeaten boxers signed contracts last week.
      Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis have confirmed their blockbuster fight will take place in Las Vegas on April 22Credit: Getty
      Davis broke the news in a tweet on Friday afternoonCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      Davis, 28, announced the date of the highly-anticipated bout in a tweet on Friday afternoon.
      “April 22, 2023, Las Vegas. It’s on!” the Tank wrote on Friday afternoon.
      “#DavisGarcia GOOOOO.”
      Garcia, 24, shared a similar post about two hours later, attaching a poster showing the two fighters squaring off.

      It’s understood Davis and Garcia have agreed on a non-title 136-pound catchweight contest, although official confirmation of the weight class is yet to be released.
      Similarly, it hasn’t been yet revealed where the blockbuster clash will take place.
      The MGM Grand Garden Arena — which hosted the fabled dust-up between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao in 2015 — is among the possible venues for the big event.
      Another is T-Mobile Arena where Mayweather fought Conor McGregor in 2017.
      Most read in Boxing

      Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, has also been mentioned as a potential venue.
      Davis has won all of his 28 contests, finishing 26 of them by knockout.
      And Garcia has a perfect 23-0 record, including 19 stoppages.
      The agreement comes after years of bad blood and trash-talk between the two boxing stars — and despite the complications caused by the fighters belonging to different promotions.
      In the end, the two sides agreed the April showdown will be staged by PBC and shown on Showtime PPV — Tank’s stable and broadcaster — while also being distributed through DAZN.
      And if Garcia wins and Davis triggers his rematch clause, the second fight will be on a show staged by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy and broadcast by DAZN PPV — Garcia’s partners.
      Davis and Garcia will be able to trade blows even though Tank may face jail time in relation to a hit-and-run accident.
      However, his sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 5, after the Garcia bout. More

      Floyd Mayweather vs Aaron Chalmers: Live stream, UK start time, TV channel, undercard

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER is set for his first fight in the UK as he faces former Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers THIS WEEKEND.Mayweather was last in action at the end of 2022 when he stopped KSI’s brother Deji in the sixth round of their fight.
      Mayweather will face Chalmers in a clash at the O2 Arena in LondonCredit: www.instagram.com/floydmayweather
      The 50-0 boxing icon also beat Mikuru Asakura and Don Moore in exhibition fights last year.
      Retired in 2017, Mayweather still remains an intimidating prospect and is rated by most as the best defensive boxer of all time.
      The American hasn’t been knocked down for 22 years, when he deliberately put a glove on canvas against Carlos Hernandez due to excruciating pain with a hand injury.
      And none of Mayweather’s exhibition opponents have come close to winning their bouts, though Don Moore did avoid a TKO.
      Chalmers, best known for his stint on reality TV show Geordie Shore, has turned his hand to combat sports in recent years.
      Chalmers is 5-2 in MMA and last year launched his boxing career.
      That fight ended in a 39-37 points victory against Alexander Zeledon.
      But a clash against one of the greatest fighters of all time in Mayweather represents an entirely different task.

      Interestingly, Mayweather only stepped into this fight at the last minute after original opponent Liam Harrison pulled out.
      And there is more than keen interest in this fight up in Chalmers home city of Newcastle.
      Chalmers even says Newcastle United defender Jamal Lascelles is desperate for a ticket, despite having a chance of playing at Wembley in the League Cup final the following day.
      What they said
      Floyd Mayweather: “I’m going to entertain the people. Support me and my opponent.
      “In boxing, I had my time. When I choose to stop exhibitions, I will still support the sport of boxing.
      “I’m a pioneer of being a boxer, I’m an entrepreneur. I’m playing chess in the real world. I’m truly blessed.
      “I can’t take my opponent for granted. It’s entertaining.”
      Aaron Chalmers: “I’m just going to enjoy myself because this is a no-lose situation for me, in any way, shape, or form, so I’ve got nothing to lose.
      “It’s one of these situations where, what’s the worst that can happen? What, he’s going to beat us up?
      “I know I’m going to get punched in the face numerous times. I can handle that. I’ve been elbowed, kneed, and kicked in the face — it doesn’t bother us.
      “So for me, it’s just about going in there and just being as quick and as sharp as I possibly can.
      “You never know, he’s a bit older now — a jab may catch him and just give him a little bit of a shock.
      “That one punch will go all over the world, you know what I mean?
      “So, that’s it, mate — it’s a no-lose situation and I’m just going to have fun the whole night with it.”
      When is Mayweather vs Chalmers?

      Mayweather’s clash with Chalmers will take place on Saturday, February 25.
      The event will be held at London’s O2 Arena.
      Expect ring-walks for the event to get underway from around 10.30pm UK time.

      What TV channel is it on and can it be live streamed?
      Mayweather vs Chalmers will be broadcast live on the Zeus Network.
      The price will be £24.88 to pre-order.
      Mayweather’s clash against Deji took place on DAZN PPV, but his fights have also been shown on Fite TV before.
