Jake Paul Suffers First Loss of Boxing Career to Tommy Fury
content.jwplatform.com
Jake Paul has been beaten in the huge fight between the YouTuber and Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia on Sunday night.
The highly anticipated contest had been on the cards for more than two years and after a long, long time of trading verbal jabs at each other, they finally clashed in the boxing ring.
And after all that, it was Fury who prevailed winning the contest by decision after going eight rounds with the YouTuber and handing Paul his first-ever loss as a boxer.
There had been suggestions that the fight was fixed before the two clashed as a supposed 'script' suggested that the fight was pre-determined. That clearly wasn't the case and despite the animosity and emotion going into the bout the fight was clean and professionally contested.

Jake's brother, Logan Paul attempted to stir controversy by calling Fury and his family a 'b***h' during a mid-fight interview, which did not go down well at all.
