The stage is set, and the days grow closer, as YouTuber turned-boxing sensation, Jake Paul, prepares himself to prove to naysayers and the boxing community at large. And, in turn, set to rest the long-drawn debate about him fighting ‘a real boxer’. Paul will face his longtime nemesis, Tommy Fury, at the Diriyah Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 26, 2023. With the hype and anticipation surrounding the fight, it looks like the bout is even drawing a lot of attention from non-fans as well. In fact, former professional boxer, Carl Frampton had a rather interesting personal account to share about this upcoming fight.

My wife who hates boxing wants to watch @jakepaul vs @tommytntfury My daughter who never mentions boxing wants to watch this. Grannys in the street are asking me about it and as a former fighter I want to see it. Like it or not, this is big!
