Long-term rivals Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are finally set to step into the ring together on 26th February in Saudi Arabia.

The duo have gone back and forth over social media during the past few years, with two previous attempts to set up a bout falling through, but they have agreed on a new date to settle their differences.

Paul, priced at 8/13 To Win, has transitioned from a social media influencer and YouTuber to an extremely competent boxer, while he's also set to dip his toe into the MMA world later this year after signing up with PFL.

The Problem Child is 6-0 as a professional, winning four of those contests via knockout, but many have been critical of his level of opponent.

After defeating a fellow Youtuber, AnEsonGib, and then earning a knockout victory over former NBA point guard Nate Robinson, Paul has seen off three former UFC fighters.

Ben Askren, known better for his wrestling than striking, suffered a first-round TKO loss, before Paul sealed successive wins against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

His most recent win came against 47-year-old former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in October.

Next up is Fury, priced at 13/10 To Win, who boasts an 8-0 record with four of those victories coming by KO or TKO.

TNT is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson and he's a former Love Island contestant.

Fury should present Paul with his toughest test to date and a victory for the American would hand him the chance to silence his critics.
