An image has circulated on social media claiming to show a round-by-round breakdown of how Tommy Fury's fight against Jake Paul will play out, with Paul emerging victorious in the final round.
The alleged document - which is confirmed by the organisers to be a fake - was posted by MMA fighter 'Platinum' Mike Perry, who tweeted an image of the script. It is detailed, with the pair's ring-walk details also included before the rounds are broken down with Fury starting strong before Paul rallies back to win in the final round.
Scripts exist in combat sports, with the WWE widely known to follow such orchestrated plans. However, in this instance, the fight is a fully licensed bout and any alleged fixing of the contest would be investigated.
