Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally stepped foot in the ring last month after numerous postponements and issues. It’s safe to say the bout didn’t disappoint, with almost one million people tuning in via pay-per-view.
The fight went the distance, with both men surviving the eight rounds despite clearly taking damage during the fight. A knockout didn’t look likely as both men were valiant. However, Paul did secure a knockdown in the final round of the fight.
However, it wasn’t enough to sway the judges, despite it coming in the final round. Fury was victorious via split decision and subsequently secured a WBC ranking, something Paul clearly has in his sights as he eyes a rematch.
