Boxing has become a sport of choice for content creators, who, upon gaining popularity, are encouraged to step into the ring to compete, in some cases, against established professionals. That’s the story behind this youtuber Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury clash, which will take place in Saudi Arabia.
This is a long-awaited fight, mainly because it was postponed twice; originally they should have fought in December 2021, but due to Fury’s health problems it had to be postponed. The then new date was August 2022, but again Fury had to cancel, this time due to difficulties entering the United States.
Without further ado, at JefeBet we tell you how they get into this fight in Diriyah, as well as our predictions and the available betting odds for Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury.

Jake Paul
- Odds: -155
- Fights: 6
- Victories: 6
- Victories by KO: 4
American Jake Paul is 26 years old and has just six fights as a professional boxer (cruiserweight division). Unlike boxers who have such a big screen, his beginnings are as a youtuber, and his popularity and love for boxing made him decide to try his skills in the ring.
He has yet to lose, really, and of his six fights won, four were by KO. But beware, just as we say that he is a boxer who emerged from the social networks, the truth is that most of his rivals also emerged through social networks.
Jake Paul’s last fight was on October 29, 2022, when he faced Brazilian Anderson Silva (ex-UFC) and defeated him by unanimous decision.
Tommy Fury
- Odds: +138
- Fights: 8
- Victories: 8
- Victories by KO: 4
Tommy, half-brother of heavyweight fighter Tyson Fury, is just four years old as a professional boxer. He fights in the light heavyweight category and has eight wins, four by KO.
Tommy Fury’s last fight was last November 13 against Rolls Lambert. It was a victory for the Briton, although it did not count for the statistics since it was an exhibition fight. The one that did count was on April 23, 2022, when he defeated Daniel Bocianski on points.
JefeBet Prediction
According to the agreement between Jake Paul and Fury’s family, if he defeats him, the British fighter will have to retire from professional boxing and even change his last name forever. There is probably also a big bag of money at stake, but it seems that the honor this time has two very heavy condiments.
Paul is the bookmakers’ favorite, but in an almost amateur level as both fighters are, we can expect anything. At JefeBet, we prefer to bet on Tommy Fury.
Prediction: Tommy Fury wins by KO.
