Follow reaction after YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul was beaten by Tyson Fury’s half-brother Tommy in Saudi Arabia
Follow live reaction after Jake Paul lost to rival Tommy Fury in an exhibition boxing match in Saudi Arabia this evening.
A close contest over eight rounds went to the judges’ scorecards and Fury won two of the three, with Paul taking the other verdict, giving the Briton a split decision victory.
The build-up to this bout was heated, with Paul leaking the news of the birth of Fury’s baby Bambi before the 23-year-old and his partner Molly-Mae Hague could make an announcement, while both fighters promised a knockout win. It all came to a head this week when Fury shoved Paul at a tense weigh-in, and the men settled their rivalry in Diriyah tonight.
Paul vowed to enact his rematch clause after the fight, and Fury said he was ready to do it all again too.

A reminder of this story from yesterday!
Jake Paul apologised to Tommy Fury for leaking news about the birth of the latter’s daughter with Molly-Mae Hague.
Paul made a peace offering over the matter by gifting a “really nice designer baby brand” present to Fury ahead of their fight tonight.
Following a tense press conference between the rivals this week, Paul and Fury sat down face-to-face for an interview.
Paul, 26, said: “I apologise actually for leaking your baby’s announcement. I honestly didn’t mean to say that before. I just want to say that I didn’t mean to leak that announcement. I’ve actually got a gift for Bambi, this is like a really nice designer baby brand.”
He handed Fury a white box with a ribbon closure, which the 23-year-old former Love Island contestant accepted.

“Are we doing video?” Jake Paul asks, half-aiming the question at me and half-directing it towards his representative on the Zoom call. “Err, yeah?” I reply. “I don’t usually upload the video from these sorts of chats, but...”
But it would seem strange to interview one of the biggest screen presences of the last decade and not have him appear, well, on screen.
When I start off by asking what the biggest misconception about Jake Paul is, he takes a moment to think, before laughing: “I think people... they don’t think I’m a real person. And I think they judge me from my past a lot, versus looking at who I am today. I think, as humans, we naturally do that, so I get it. But yeah, I think that’s it...
“And they compare me to my brother,” he quickly adds, referring to Logan, 27, who has followed a similar path to his younger sibling. “Whenever he does something wrong, I get in trouble for it. I would probably say that’s the biggest thing.”
