Long overdue
The Paul vs. Fury boxing match has long been overdue but after a series of back and forths, the pair will finally settle everything inside the ring. It can be recalled that Paul and Fury’s feud dates back to 2021 and both have been eager to take on each other since then. However, the fight ended up getting canceled twice for different reasons.
Nevertheless, Paul and Fury’s desire to face one another is still there and at last, the fight is finally happening on Feb. 26 in Saudi Arabia.
Paul is coming in unbeaten in pro boxing. His current record is 6-0 with wins over the biggest names in MMA, including Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren.
On the other hand, Fury has also been undefeated as a boxer with an equally impressive 8-0 record. His latest win took place last year when he outpointed Daniel Bocianski.
