Paul, nicknamed the Problem Child, has amassed a social media empire based on the success of his YouTube presence with his brother Logan – who also likes a scrap, having taken Floyd Mayweather the distance. Jake’s last fight was in the MMA realm in an exhibition against UFC legend Anderson Silva.
Fury’s fame is largely dependent on being in Love Island and being half brother to current WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury. His last fight was against Daniel Bocianski in April last year, which he won on points.
So, yeah, there isn’t a lot of boxing pedigree on show for this pay-per-view event, but there’s plenty of social media clout to make up for it.
