Jake Paul will put $300,000 belt on the line against rival Tommy Fury

Jake Paul will 'defend' his $300,000 'Most Valuable Boxer' belt against bitter rival Tommy Fury this summer.

The YouTube star has finally announced that he will face Fury in the ring on August 6 with the contracts signed and sealed after weeks of negotiations. Paul has previously claimed he wants to fight for a world title in the sport and will face Fury in his sixth professional fight this summer.

Before his rematch victory over Tyron Woodley last December, Paul showed off a new custom-made colourful 'Most Valuable Promotions' belt worth around $300,000. Paul has now admitted it will be high stakes against Fury in the biggest risk of his short boxing career to date. "I want a tough test, I want to put the MVP belt on the line for this fight," Paul said when previewing his upcoming clash with Fury.
