Published 02/18/2023, 11:45 AM EST

Call it crossover, YouTube, or for that matter, entertainment boxing, but it’s what the boxing match fans have been yearning for the last three years. Now seven days stand between the fans and the fight that has since 2021 collapsed for one reason or another. Twenty-six-year-old American YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul and twenty-three-year-old English boxer and one-time reality show star Tommy Fury will meet in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh on February 26. Then, finally, the bitter online rivals will get a chance to settle old scores for good.

Their first fight, scheduled on December 18, 2021, caved in as Tommy Fury reportedly developed a chest infection and rib injury. A second fight planned for August last year fell apart as Fury couldn’t enter the U.S. because of visa-related problems. A showdown in Dubai during the Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Deji Olatunji exhibition raised a few hopes. Come the new year, finally, both camps seemingly worked out a match plan.

Given the kind of acrimonious terms Paul and Fury share, fans are more than happy to see a grand finale to settle the questions about a better boxer. Let’s go through a few minor details that might help us understand how each fighter fares against the other.
