Jake Paul & Tommy Fury set to fight in February after being called out by John Fury Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have arranged to fight in February, after John Fury claims Paul\u2019s manager verbally agreed to the bout after a ringside clash. Despite failed attempts of getting the two in the ring together, we may finally see Jake Paul face off against Tommy Fury next year. The two were first linked to fight all the way back in December 2021, where Fury was forced to pull out of the arranged bout due to a broken rib injury. Once more, the Love Island star was expected to be finally facing Paul at the Madison Square Garden in August, which ultimately fell through after Fury\u2019s camp struggled to enter the United States. John Fury guarantees Jake vs Tommy bout During a post-fight press conference, and after a ringside clash with Jake Paul after Tommy\u2019s exhibition against Rolly Lambert, John Fury claimed that a bout between Jake and Tommy is planned for February. According to John, The Problem Child\u2019s manager agreed that the two would finally be stepping in the ring, with the two sides verbally agreeing and shaking on it. \u201cI have looked him down, backed him up into a corner, and check-mated him. He has agreed to a February bout,\u201d said John claimed. \u201cHe shook my hand and he gave me his word of honor, his manager. It\u2019s happening in February. I said \u2018listen if you renege or back out you\u2019ll never live it down in your life\u2019 and you can\u2019t break a man\u2019s handshake. \u201cContracts mean nothing to me, but a handshake does. My word you can build a tower block on it. He\u2019s given me his word, his manager, we fight in February.\u201d Anticipation for a bout between the two is certainly high, especially after the ringside clash between Fury\u2019s camp and Jake Paul. Despite going the length for six rounds in a mundane exhibition against Rolly Lambert, both John and Tommy were up for more, and called for Jake to step in the ring. Though nothing came of it, fans are definitely excited to see the two finally meet in the ring. But, given previous fights falling through, there will be some skepticism about this one actually going ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
