Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul fight rules decision made with boxers told who is winning

Tommy Fury and Jake Paul's fight on Sunday night will be subject to the WBC's open scoring rules, meaning that they will be told the score halfway through the contest.

The WBC have sanctioned the bout and will offer a cruiserweight world ranking to the winner as well as a belt which has been made specifically for the bout. The sanctioning body have been big supporters of the contest as a whole and their cruiserweight world title will be decided on the undercard with Badou Jack facing Ilunga Makabu.

The WBC is the only one of boxing's major sanctioning body which uses the open scoring system and its influence could be important with either fighter able to change their approach based on the score which they will be told at the end of the fourth round, if the fight lasts that long.
