He demonstrated punching power and improved skills as well as a solid chin." When is the fight? "The WBC will not tolerate discrimination against anyone, he deserves the opportunities that any other boxer has. "Jake has dedication and respect to the sport," a WBC spokesman said. Theoretically, that is the first step to Paul being permitted to fight for a world title. The WBC, one of the ranking organisations who run boxing, have said that they will give Paul an official world ranking in the cruiserweight division if he manages to beat Fury. Fury's promoter George Warren was in Saudi Arabia on his behalf, and said Fury had stayed in the UK to deal with a "personal and private matter". The build-up to this fight has also been fractious, with Fury failing to turn up for a recent press conference, leaving Paul to face-off with Derek Chisora instead. A rearranged date last year also proved a non-starter when Fury was refused entry into the United States. The bout was initially scheduled for December 2021 only for Fury to pull out due to injury. Fight fans will be hoping it is a case of third time lucky when Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally meet this month.
