Let’S talk about uh, Jake, Paul and uh the fight um I’d like to tell you right off the top uh there’s an undercard um and I’ve spoken about it before.
But it was confirmed last week, so, let’s, let’s for your information, uh go through it uh the main event on an event called The Truth.
By the way uh, we have Jake Paul and Tommy Fury going Toe to Toe finally uh.
This is after uh, two cancellations of two previously scheduled fights uh, the first one, because Tommy Fury injured himself and the second time Tommy tree wasn’t allowed into the states to fight uh the co-main event of the truth.

We have versus Simeon, as I said, it’s all taking place on Sunday February 26th down in Saudi Arabia, uh Paul by the way, uh calm professional.
If you want, as a boxer, he’s only fought, really truly uh Nate Robinson, which we’ll get to in a few minutes uh but basically uh MMA, Stars uh.
His Knockouts have been pretty good uh, but also uh, Tommy Fury’s, coming to the battle undefeated, both undefeated six and over Paul and uh time for your support and an 8-0 record with four Knockouts of his own.
It’S a grudge match.
Without doubt, these guys have been trading barbs across the internet uh for months, if not a year, if not more, they don’t like each other uh and adding to the uh, shall we say incentive to win uh for the Jake Paul Camp, um WBC, president Mauricio Solomon Uh recently announced that Paul would be included in the cruiserweight rankings should he defeat Tommy Fury and he by the way on the DraftKings sports book.
I got ta say he’s a he’s: a favorite uh, you know he’s a favorite to win um.
As I said uh.
Let’S just go over the main Court, also on the main card.
Three undefeated prospects are in action, as I said, as they add, I may have want to know.
Uh one knockout, as I said, he’s fighting Ronald Martinez three and one uh musin kison, he’s 10-0 with seven Knockouts he’s gon na fight uh, Terry AI jafaroff, uh, 1805, 17 Knockouts of his own and barter samreen.
He’S 7-0 six Knockouts fights uh real, Simeon uh 23-9.
With nine knockouts so in the U.
S as Paul versus Fury fight airs on ESPN plus, I pay view as well as the Zone um elsewhere.
Let’S uh: let’s move along to another story, because it is interesting to see the difference uh between what the UK and U.
S press uh people are talking about.
The fight and the possible outcome.
Um says the mirror over in the UK.
Tommy Fury will finally settle his rival with YouTube Star Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia this week, where the pair will come face to face with the Britain having missed their previous Middle East press conference.
Pardon Tommy Fury was apparently sparring with Irish Prospect Council Crowley when he should have been facing off with Jake Paul uh Fury, as we all know, as I just said, is finally said to do battle with bitter rival, Paul in Saudi Arabia.
On Sunday, after months of trading verbal bars, barbs says this article in the mirror of popular UK publication uh, the British star came face to face in London with the YouTube Star to announce their event last month, but Fury missed their launch press conference in the Middle East the axe, love Island, Stars promoter, George Warren cited personal and private matters as a reason for Fury’s absence for the Face-Off, which knows if we left Paul fuming while completing media duties on his own.
However, a new explanation has come to light um Irish Crowley, claiming he was involved in eight rounds of sparring with Fury at the time of the media event.
He tweeted great experience out of Bolton, helping Tommy get ready for his fight with Jake Paul, while Jake Paul was chatting.
The press conference me and Tommy were doing eight rounds of of sparring.
Fury has been putting a lot into his training camp for his argument’s biggest test of his career against Paul, and it’s even been playing the British uh star fractured a training partner’s jaw during preparation.
His absence from the press conference sparked fears among many that he could once again pull out from The Showdown.
The 23 year old was forced to cancel the final two previous occasions as I’ve said uh having broken his rib in December 2021, before pulling the plug on our schedule Showdown last August, after being unable to fly to the U.
S.
However, despite renewed doubts, Fury flew out to Saudi Arabia last week to begin his fight week, plans Paul celebrated the news.
It now looks more likely than ever that the pair of radio finally settled their scores.
Despite appearing to prepare more dedicated than ever, fears insisted.
He could beat Paul without a training camp and have Supreme confidence in his own ability.
However, the YouTube star was Keen to point out a contradiction in Fury’s claims and was left angered by his absence from the event he said when you sign up to do something and you make a commitment.
That is what we should be about.
It just shows me he is scared because he said he didn’t need to train for this fight, but meanwhile his excuse first was that he had to train extra to fight me and now, apparently, it’s a private matter, his typical Fury stuff, to be honest, said Paul.
I love Tyson, but I’m saying that Dad and Tommy it is typical from them.
This fight goes three four rounds.
This has never been tested, he’s never been in a hard fight, but I’m going to show him on February 26th that this is a heart business and he is certainly not going to like the sport when I’m done with him.
Now.
Adding to this story are the barbs sent back and forth between Carl froak, another UK uh renowned fighter, who said quite frankly, Carl frok, said his right hand will send Jake Paul into orbit.
If Paul is quote stupid enough to fight him, so they’ve been trading, as I said, bars back and forth over social media and uh Jake Paul, as I announced yesterday said uh.
You know I’d be happy to fight Carl frog if he fought Anderson Silva first as as Paul got ready for his fight against it, Tommy Fury, anticipating beating Tommy Fury.
So, let’s leave that little argument aside, because I did cover it in yesterday’s episode, so we’ll leave that and move along to something that BJ Flores, who trains YouTube Star, Jake Paul um, who says his man is going to demolish Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.
Tommy’S got some really good attributes said floors, he’s got hand, speed and he’s been around the boxing for a long time, but I feel like he’s in with just a better athlete: Jake punches harder, he’s smarter, has a higher boxing IQ and I feel like he does.
A lot of things that will give Tommy a lot of problems.
I remember Jake Paul’s moniker is the problem.
Child, so kind of a funny.
Little use of words there Fury’s older brother Tyson, expects his brother to batter Paul for the honor of the family.
The boasting by Tyson has placed more pressure on Tommy Fury, says Flores.
Tyson is a very smart boxing guy.
He knows boxing very well and for him to say that I feel like it puts a lot of pressure on Tommy he’s, never fought in front of the type of crowds that Jake has multiple times he’s, never headlined in front of 20 000 people he’s never been The main event on a pay-per-view card or had a main Spotlight fight.
I don’t care what Tommy says.
No pressure whatsoever, uh he’s going to feel It On fight week.
It gets better, so fans over in the UK are anxious for Jake Paul as Tommy Fury’s jab power looks to be on another level, leaving them concerned for the YouTube Star screams.
This particular headline set to be one of the most anticipated influencer boxing matches yet Jake, Paul and Tommy Fury have tried to touch gloves on numerous occasions.
In the past.
The pair were originally set to step into the ring back in late 2021, however, Fury suffered from an injury, canceling the fight.
Another bout was done scheduled for August 2022, but once more Tom and his team were forced to back out as his Camp were denied entry into United States.
Now the two are finally coming to blows on February 26th, however, fans are now concerned for the YouTube Star.
As Fury looks to be on another level in a recent kick game episode, Fury left fans shocked after he was asked to put his strength to the test on an arcade boxing machine.
However, furry didn’t want to make it too easy and instead hit the bag with Jake Paul’s face on with just a jab.
You know what I’m going to do.
I’M going to use my job, because I don’t want to scare Jake Paul off too much Fury said.
I have a feeling if I use my right hand, he might not show up impressively the love Island.
Star, scored 841 points with just a jab leaving fans concerned for Jake Paul Tommy has grown on me recently.
He he’s gon na beat Jake.
I feel it one.
One band wrote: Jake, messed up, big time said another.
However, some fans were skeptical with many claiming the machines don’t give the most accurate results, I’m on Fury side, but those machines never give accurate results.
One noted oh, Keep It Coming guys, keep it coming, uh on the serious side of things.
As I said, uh with respect to the pay-per-view uh audience.
The zone is also involved in this uh J pose by the way he’s six fights into his careers.
I said 6-0 uh and he’s looking forward to his biggest matchup.
Yet after numerous as we said, cancellations and frequent verbal exchanges on social media Paul.
Finally, faced Tommy Fury when the two go head-to-head in Saudi Arabia, uh announces that the zone.
com website to the dismay of the majority of traditional boxing fans.
This is a fight which will generate huge interest to the mass followings, both Paul and fury possess.
And if the problem child is able to beat Fury, it will prove that he can mix it with those who box for a living ahead of Sunday’s Clash.
The Zone takes a look at Paul’s professional boxing career below, so here it goes.
What is Jake Paul’s professional record Jake Paul currently boasts a 6-0 record with four of those wins coming by way of knockout championships.
Jake Paul is yet to win a title in the world of professional boxing biggest wins: hmm Jake Paul knocks out former UFC fighter Ben askren back in April 2021.
, uh, not to mention uh Nate Robinson, which we’ll get to in a sec and that Jake Paul was Victorious in a rematch against Tyrone Woodley, and that was back in December of 2021.
uh.
You know he was putting skills as they say to the test against another MMA star and this time as UFC welterweight, champ, Tyrone, Woodley, Paul and Woodley first fought in August 2021.
In a fight which saw the problem, child be declared the winner via split decision, so it was no surprise that the two would meet in a rematch four months later to settle a score.
The type of play took place in Tampa and it was already looking like a brutal contest when a clash of heads in round two saw Paul covered in blood for the rest of the match-up.
But just like the Aspen wind Paul once again threw another brutal right hand.
This time in round number six, which sent Woodley to the ring canvas face down and brought a conclusion to a successful 2021 for Paul who won all three of his fights during that 12-month period.

So there you go um all the news fit to print, but I did promise you a quick little story on good old, uh, Nate, Robinson um, just as a quick little lead up.
Okay, he floored Nate Robinson in a second Pro fight on the Mike Tyson under card with Snoop Dogg, delivering iconic commentary that will sadly be missing for this Tommy Fury boat.
Now I want to go past.
If you will all the commentary regarding the The Knockout of Nate Robinson, which I had to admit it was, it was pretty funny um.
But anyway, what was even funnier was the commentary that Snoop Dogg uh.
You know uh made after after problems was not cold and needed medical attention, but it may eventually made it to his feet.
Okay, snoop’s commentary stole the headlines as he yelled after the first knockdown.
Oh, my God, Lord have mercy, oh Jesus.
He then began choral singing, while Robinson got back to his feet.
Take my hand lead me home.
Let me stand when the end came in round two Snoop added good Night Irene.
Oh Lord call the ambulance.
He then uttered the memorable line when watching Tyson and Jones Jr as crap.
Does everyone remember this? It’S like two uncles fighting at a barbecue, so it’s too bad Snoop Dogg won’t be there to commentate uh at the Tyson.
Sorry, the Tommy Fury versus Jake Paul fight, but it’s going to be a doozy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we’re all looking forward to it.
Uh.
You know pleasure bets it’s going to be a close one, um fans on both sides of the pond.
Boxing fans love hate this this this uh influencer boxing match uh, but it’s been long anticipated and uh and we’re going to cover it every inch of the way leading up to their big fight uh because it is uh quite entertaining, I must admit and uh.
