A bout between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury is expected to take place in February, and Tyson Fury has placed his money for Tommy Fury to win the fight regardless of the outcome.

However, the opportunity for a battle between the two undefeated boxers reopened recently.
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have agreed to fight Feb. 25, sources confirmed with ESPN.
This is the third time the two have booked a fight with one another, yet have still not gotten in the ring together.

Tyson Fury, a two-time heavyweight boxing world champion and already a legend in the sport, has put pressure on his younger brother, Tommy, to replicate his success if he and Jake ever square off. As Tyson prepares to fight Oleksandr Usyk next, he has advised his brother not to come home unless he knocks Jake out.
”I don’t think it’s been officially announced, but I hear an announcement is imminent. They are finally getting it on and are going to throw it down. The two YouTube people get to battle it out for the king of the YouTubers. It’s going to be fun, and I expect Tommy to chin him. If he doesn’t he can stay in Saudi Arabia.” said Tyson.
