Jake Paul has announced that his long-awaited fight against Tommy Fury has finally been confirmed, with a date set for August 6 and the bout taking place at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. Amanda Serrano has been announced as a dual main-event for the night after Paul co-promoted her fight with Katie Taylor in May at the same venue.
The original fight was due to take place in December, but that was cancelled by the Fury camp with Tommy citing both illness and injury as the reason for his withdrawal. He was replaced by former UFC star Tyron Woodley for the fight which Paul won to extend the unbeaten start to his boxing career to 5-0-0.
Meanwhile, Fury fought on the undercard of brother Tyson's heavyweight championship win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley on April 23. He beat Daniel Bocianski to continue the unbeaten start to his career and also took his opportunity to send a message to the 25-year-old American.
