      Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury purse: How much each fighters will earn from huge Saudi Arabia grudge bout

      by

      JAKE PAUL and Tommy Fury are set to bank mega-money paydays for their dust-up in the Diriyah desert. The pair have once more rescheduled their grudge match after Fury was twice forced to pull out amid injury and visa issues.

      But their third crack at settling the score could be the most lucrative of all having taken their feud to Saudi Arabia on February 26.
      The fight is set to be televised on pay-per-view worldwide, with BT Box Office carrying the UK rights and ESPN in America.
      According to SportsZion, Paul is guaranteed to make at least $3.2million (£2.6m) and then 65 per cent of PPV sales.
      It is claimed it could take his earnings for the fight to over $8.6m (£7m) including sponsorship deals.

      For Fury, 23, the report states he will take home at least $2m (£1.6m) while taking home the remaining 35 per cent of box office sales.
      That would see him take home up to $4.5m (£3.6m) when it is all said and done.
      Fury raised concerns after he no-showed for the kick-off press conference in Saudi Arabia.
      Paul, 26, made the short journey from Dubai – where he has been training – to show up and promote the PPV.

      And he used Fury’s absence to blast his celebrity boxing rival following their history of failed fights.
      He said: “He’s gonna have to pay for all the times he pulled out, all the business people he screwed over. It’s disrespectful.
      “There are some of the biggest names in boxing, some of the biggest promoters in the world, some of the most influential people in the world, one of the greatest countries in the world, and he doesn’t want to show up ’cause a “private matter” – cool. We all have private matters.”

      Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara: UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for featherweight world title fight

      by

      LEIGH WOOD is back in action this weekend as he defends his WBA featherweight world title against Mauricio Lara. Nottingham fighter Wood hasn’t been in the ring since his epic 12th-round knockout win over Michael Conlan 11 months ago.

      Lara is best known for fighting Josh Warrington twice, knocking him out in the first with the second being stopped after the Mexican suffered a cut from an accidental headbutt.
      Both Wood and Lara are heavy punchers and most will see this fight as the most explosive the featherweight division has to offer.
      Wood, who was upgraded to full WBA 126lbs champion earlier this year, was scheduled to fight Lara last year before he pulled out with an injury.
      But now he gets his chance against the feared Mexican, who is facing his first ever world title shot.

      When is Wood vs Lara?

      Wood’s big clash against Lara takes place this weekend on Saturday, February 18.

      The fight will take place at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham.
      Ring-walks for the main event should begin at around 10pm UK time.
      The main card will get going from 7pm.

      What channel is it on and can it be live streamed?

      Wood vs Lara will be shown live on DAZN in the UK as part of your monthly subscription.
      You can subscribe to DAZN for £9.99-a-month, which commits you for 12 months.
      You can also pay £99.99 up front for the year, or go with DAZN’s flexible saver option, which is £19.99-a-month – and that allows you to cancel at any time.
      The fight is available for live streaming on the DAZN app, which you can download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      What has been said?
      Wood said: “I prefer being an underdog and I love proving people wrong.
      “People tweet me all the time and say, ‘this is a mismatch and I’m going to lose’ but if you look at my Twitter I retweet them because it fuels me.
      “Winning fuels me. Lara has a style that suits me. Conlan was all wrong for me stylistically, but styles make fights and I’m confident in my ability.
      “If I approach this fight wrong, it could be brutal. Lara is good and we saw that in the first fight with Josh Warrington, but if I do as I plan, this fight won’t reach halfway – I’m going to get Lara out of there.” More

      Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury deadline passes for ex-UFC star to replace Love Islander after two previous pull-outs

      by

      THE deadline for Mike Perry to replace Tommy Fury against Jake Paul is set to pass. The celebrity boxing rivals have rescheduled their grudge match for February 26 in Saudi Arabia.

      Jake Paul has Mike Perry on standby in case Tommy Fury pulls out
      It comes after Fury, 23, was twice forced to pull out before, due to a rib injury and US visa issue.
      So Paul, 26, prepared for lightening to again strike by having ex-UFC welterweight Perry on standby.

      But the current Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star faces missing out on the mega-fight payday with a deadline now up.
      BKFC president David Feldman told The Mirror: “He is the back-up fighter but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “We were supposed to know by the end of Monday (13th) as that was the deadline.
      “I’m hoping it doesn’t happen, but for Mike I am hoping it does happen as he will grab a very nice payday and get a lot of exposure.
      “We have something planned for him in BKFC as we are announcing a big opponent for him on April 29.
      “Does he beat Jake Paul though? I don’t know, Jake Paul is actually a pretty decent boxer but Mike Perry has got something inside of him that I’ve never seen before, he’s a different type of animal.

      “I don’t think there’s anyone you can put in front of Mike Perry that’s going to blow him out.”
      Perry, 31, left the UFC in 2021 to sign with BKFC, where he has had two wins with brutally exposed fists.
      And promoter Feldman gave him the green light to potentially save the show if Paul needed it.
      He said: “I was open to it because of the notoriety that Mike Perry was going to get and BKFC, because they also have to do some branding for BKFC for this to have happened.
      “If Perry does step up, BKFC gets branded to fans that haven’t watched it yet so it’s an opportunity for us too.
      “I thought it was an opportunity for him to make a good payday, he gets paid very well with us so it’s not much more than that.
      “It’s also an opportunity to expand the growth of our promotion. At the end of the day it looks like Tommy Fury is going to show up and I think he’s going to put on a hell of a fight.”

      Eubank Jr had a rematch clause in the contract and has chosen to activate it, rather than revisit the October catchweight bout with Conor Benn which was cancelled.
      Posing on holiday in Dubai with the pink thorned flower, Eubank Jr wrote on Twitter: “This morning I activated the rematch clause via my lawyers and sent [it] to my promoters.
      “Happy Valentines Liam Smith”
      In the aftermath of his sensational win, Smith confirmed he was tied into a rerun if Eubank wanted it.

      But he thought he might swerve it, after suffering such a concussive loss.
      And Smith insists, now that he is the A-Side in negotiations, the return fixture will happen in Liverpool at his local arena and he will be getting a bigger cut of the purse.
      He said: “I think Chris will have to Tweet and talk about it right away because of an ego and a pride thing.
      “I don’t think he can say he doesn’t want the rematch.

      “But you might get a different answer in three, four or five weeks, after he has sat down and thought about it.
      “He will sit down with his team and family and if he wants the fight he can have it.

      “Of course, I accept the rematch because if I can beat him once I can beat him twice.
      “I am not worried about whose name is first on the poster but there are a couple of other things that will have to shift on to my terms, like the venue and the money.” More

      Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury – latest odds: The six best boxing free bets, bonuses and sign up offers ahead of ‘The Truth’

      TOMMY FURY and Jake Paul will FINALLY get it on at the third time of asking when they come face-to-face in Saudi Arabia.To mark the huge occasion, we at SunSport have rounded up the latest best free bets, sign-up specials and exclusive bonuses available from the UK’s top bookmakers.

      Illness prevented the pair coming together in December 2021 when Fury pulled out.
      Then visa issues prevented the 23-year-old from promoting the fight with longstanding rival Paul in the USA, prompting that bout to also be axed.
      Fury was last in action back in November when fighting late replacement Rolly Lambert – who stepped in for Paul Bamba.
      Bamba refused to take the fight after Fury weighed in 7lbs heavier than him, allowing Lambert to step in. Though that then force the fight to change to an exhibition bout.

      But he was spotted leaving the venue in a wheelchair as he was flanked by his entourage.
      According to TMZ, Davis was nursing an ankle injury – the severity of which is unknown.
      The WBA (regular) lightweight champion said of the injury: “S**t happen all the time.
      “S*** be happening. But I’m all right.”

      Davis and Garcia’s eagerly-anticipated clash is currently scheduled for April 15.
      But negotiations recently hit a snag as both parties are arguing over who will be the A-side should a rematch come to fruition.
      Golden Boy Promotions chief Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN: “It boils down to who’s going to control the rematch.
      “We’re literally down at the 1-yard line; what’s holding everything up is the rematch clause.

      “This is just the way it always has been. … It’s common sense that whoever wins is the A-side.
      “That’s the bottom line. We’re not reinventing the wheel here.”
      De La Hoya, however, is hoping the squabble will soon be resolved.
      He said: “We’re holding strong because we know it’s fair.
      “And we feel 1,000 per cent this fight is going to be made and be the biggest fight of the past few years.” More
