In his brief boxing career, social media sensation Jake Paul has witnessed several highlight-reel knockouts. Other social media stars, such as a former NBA player and an MMA champion, were defeated by such knockouts. Paul will now face Tommy Fury on February 26 in Saudi Arabia in an effort to finally put an end to his rivalry with a boxer. The match will stream on ESPN+ PPV on Sunday early in the afternoon in the United States. After Tommy Fury was denied entry into the country, the bout between Paul (6-0, 4 KO) and the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was postponed a second time. The two now seem to have resolved their differences, with Saudi Arabia serving as the fight's host nation. Paul, who is 26 years old, was only able to compete once in 2022 due to the several delays caused by the cancellation of the Fury matches. When he outpointed Anderson Silva and knocked him down in the last seconds of the bout, he recorded his most stunning victory to date. Fury, on the other hand, has an 8-0 record with four knockouts, but his quality of opposition has also lacked any significant danger or challenge.
