Jake Paul next fight: Social media star to face Tommy Fury in December showdown from Florida
CBSN
Paul will look to maintain his undefeated record against the half brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury
The wait for Jake Paul to face a "real boxer" will come to an end on Dec. 18 in Tampa, Florida. The social media star will continue his boxing career when he faces Tommy Fury, the 22-year-old half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The bout will headline a Showtime pay-per-view.
Fury is 7-0 as a professional, making him of an appropriate experience level to face Paul, who is 4-0 since turning pro in January 2020. After a win against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, Paul went on to score a viral knockout of former NBA star Nate Robinson. As pressure intensified for Paul to face a "real fighter," he scored a quick knockout of former MMA champion Ben Askren before earning a decision over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in August.
Woodley had petitioned for a rematch with Paul after a competitive bout but disputes over a tattoo bet were among the many reasons the rematch did not come together.
