One of the most anticipated fights of the year, between two controversial internet stars-turned-boxers, is finally here.and Tommy Fury will exchange blows at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia on Sunday night. The card officially starts at 2 p.m ET but the 10-round cruiserweight bout is scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m PT. The PPV event is available to purchase onSunday’s fight is so hotly anticipated not only because of the pair’s infamous rivalry, but because it’s been years in the making.
“The build-up has been years and years in the making,” Paul told BT Sport earlier this month. “It’s almost like we’ve gotten three press tours with this fight because we’ve been trying to make it happen for so long, so there’s so much media out there, so many people want to see it. It’s country vs. country, it’s the Paul family name vs. the Fury family name.”
The two young boxers have had different paths to the ring. 23 year-old Fury, the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, had a short stint on “Love Island UK” before taking on boxing as a full-time career. He now boasts an 8-0 record but his fight against Paul on Sunday night will be the first time he takes on someone of his caliber.
Paul boasts six record wins to his name, including victories against MMA world champions Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. While the Youtuber’s early days in the ring were overshadowed by his contentious public persona, he’s since made a name for himself as a professional boxer.Ilunga Makabu vs. Badou Jack – 12 roundsBader Samreen vs. Viorel Simion – 8 rounds
