Related Topics: Tommy Fury, Jake Paul, Hughie Fury

The Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia played host to a high profile boxing contest that saw Tommy Fury hold off a surging Jake Paul to win a split decision.

This one was pretty competitive throughout, with both men landing some good shots, but neither man able to really take over. We did get a late knockdown in the eighth round when Paul blasted Fury with a power jab that sent him down to the mat. There were also a couple of point deductions, one on either side, which added to the difficulty of scoring this one.
