      by

      JAKE PAUL sent out one final chilling warning to Tommy Fury – with a promise to send him back to the box. Over two years of bitter feuding will be buried in the Saudi Arabia desert in tonight’s main event.

      And Paul got a head start in familiarising himself in the purpose-built 8,000-seat Diriyah Arena, built in just TWO WEEKS.
      The YouTuber-turned boxer got in the ring, joined by his brother Logan, who predicted Fury’s career as a boxer will be KOd.
      Logan, 27, said: “It’s hot in there. That’s a small ring. Tommy’s going to have nowhere to go.
      “He’s going to have to go back to reality TV after this.”

      Fury – who met girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague on Love Island – has insisted the fight will go no longer than four rounds.
      But Paul said his rival needs to wake up and realise that he is the one who will be out for the count.

      He brutally goaded: “He’s going to be so unconscious that he might never come back to consciousness.”
      Paul also made reference to the size of the ring – with nowhere to run and hide when the bell sounds.

      Fury, 23, will look to settle his social media score with the Problem Child with a brutal knockout victory in the Diriyah dust-up.
      And doing so will see him avoid embarrassing his boxing family – which has had a whopping NINE members take part in the Sweet Science.
      The leader of the Fury tribe is the rough and ready John, the father of Tommy, recent debutant Roman and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
      Cousins Hughie, Nathan Gorman, Horsea Burton and Andy Lee make up the rest of the professional fighters in the Fury family.

      The boxing bug also bit Tommy’s uncle Peter, who used to be the trainer of Tyson and currently coaches Hughie and former WBO middleweight champion Savannah Marshall.
      Boxing is well and truly in the blood of Tommy and his entire family, a fact which has put a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders ahead of his with Paul.
      Dad John and brother Tyson haven’t helped matters by vowing to disown and retire Tommy if he loses to the social media sensation.
      John recently told talkSPORT: “There is no more boxing for him if he loses.

      “But, I am 100 per cent confident he will knock him out.
      “It’s a big ask for Jake Paul, because Tommy is much better than what he’s faced before, so fair do’s to him.
      “It’s a foregone conclusion that Tommy will win.
      “We are not leaving a stone unturned and are training as if this were against a world-class fighter. He’s working really well.
      “Tommy will be very famous on the 26th of February.”
      Tyson said: “If he can’t beat Jake Paul, I’ll have to change his name.
      The Fury family name is something Paul has repeatedly used in his pre-fight trash talk.

      And he’s stunningly claimed Tommy only adopted it to boost his profile before he went on Love Island.
      He said: “His image is all based off of his family name.
      “And the funny thing is – a little BS exclusive as I haven’t talked about this before
      “He actually, before the show Love Island, he had his mum’s last name.
      “Because he is the half brother to Tyson, they have a different mum, and Tommy was going by his mum’s last name his whole entire life.
      “And before he went on the show he asked Tyson and John to change his last name to Fury.
      “And so he changed it before he went on the show.

      Clothes appear to have been taken from his wardrobe while briefcases were left open.
      The burglars also smashed a large window to gain access and smashed the window of his Mercedes car.
      A longer video posted by the fighter showed the two suspects gaining access to the property before running off with their loot, world title belt in hand.
      Ugas also made sure to show their getaway vehicle and hit out at the offenders in a Twitter post.

      He wrote: “These rats had the indecency to enter my house and steal my seat belts, they entered and took an empty safe, some stupid, losers and mediocre.
      “I would have preferred that material wealth had been taken rather than the belts.”
      Ugas beat Abel Ramos to win the WBA welterweight title in September 2020, before retaining the belt against Pacquiao.
      He lost the title to Errol Spence Jr last April but former champions receive a belt of their own, which is what was stolen from Ugas.

      Is there a rematch clause for Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury?
      Jake Paul and Tommy Fury could be in line for a blockbuster rematch, but there is a catch…
      Paul has confirmed that his deal includes a right to rematch if he is beaten, something not afforded to Fury.
      Meaning if the American loses for the first time in the boxing ring, it puts the duo in line for a mega-money sequel.
      And this could happen later this year.

      How many rounds will the fight be?

      Paul has twice gone that distance, in points wins over ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.
      But Fury, 23, has only ever seen the six-round mark, in his last pro win in April against Daniel Bocianski, 28.

      Mayweather praised the fans after the fight and hinted at a possible return in the future.
      He said: “I would like to thank all the UK fans. The fans are unbelievable.
      “The UK is becoming the Mecca of boxing. Unbelievable fighters.
      “I’m glad that I came… If the fans want me to come back, I’m coming back.”

      This was despite London’s O2 Arena being sparsely populated for the event as promoters struggled to sell tickets, with some even offering 20 per cent discounts in order to attract more custom.
      Indeed, the entire top tier of the 20,000-capacity stadium was shut off, while there were still swathes of empty seats in the lower tier.
      The fight itself saw the 50-0 legend completely outclass his opponent.
      Mayweather spent the large part of the opening rounds grinning at his opponent rather than boxing.

      He picked his shots carefully and methodically, even if a little too tentative for the crowd’s liking.
      The 46-year-old eventually relaxed into his groove and even enjoyed a dance with a ring girl between rounds.
      The end result of a wide points win for Mayweather never seemed in doubt.
      But the referee raised both fighters’ arms at the end to signal a draw.
      Fans at home were left far from satisfied, claiming they had been “robbed” after paying £25 to watch the fight.
      And while Mayweather insisted he did not point fingers, he claimed tickets going on sale too late caused the lack of a crowd.
      He added: “We did this in one month – not even four weeks.
      “I think the tickets should’ve went on sale a lot faster.
      “My new team is still learning. I have got to take my hat off to them, it’s not their fault.
      “It’s just when we fight in the US, as soon as we announce the fight, tickets are on sale.
      “Here, we announced the fight and the tickets didn’t go on sale until a week or two weeks later.
