On the evening of February 26, an interesting boxing evening ended in the city of Ed-Diriya (Saudi Arabia).
Famous blogger met in the main event Jake Paul from USA (6–0, 4 KOs) and Tommy Fury from Great Britain (8–0, 4 KOs), younger half-brother of WBC world champion Tyson Fury.
A day earlier, at the weigh-in, Jake Paul showed 83 kg on the scales, and Tommy Fury – 83.4 kg. The fight took place in the format of 8 rounds.

In the 7th three-minute period, a tough exchange of blows began. Fury landed punches quickly and deftly. A cut opened around Fury’s left eye, resulting from a head-on collision.

At the end of 8 rounds, the opinion of the judges was divided: 75–74 for Paul, 76–73 for Fury, 76–73 for Fury. The British won by split decision.
Fury won the 9th victory and remained with zero in the defeat graph. Jake Paul, despite the knockdown for the opponent, has the first fiasco in the passive.
