Tommy Fury (9-0, 4 KOs) won by split decision Jake Paul (6-1, 4 KOs) in the main event of the evening in Saudi Arabia. After eight rounds, one of the judges saw Paul win 75-74, while the other two favored Fury 76-73.
The Briton was faster and more active from the first gong. Fury boxed more freely and relaxed, combining punches against the opponent's passive defense. Paul hit mostly wide, and his attempts to hit hard often ended in failure. In the fifth round, the American was penalized for forward head attacks, and in the next round, the Briton lost a point for clinching.
In the eighth round, Fury was on the floor after a left hand. The Briton quickly got up and tried to catch up by attacking a tired opponent. As a result, the knockdown did not help Paul, who suffered his first defeat in the professional ring. In the contract for the duel, Paul had a clause about revenge.
