A script showing how Jake Paul will KO Tommy Fury in the eighth round of their fight tonight has been revealed to be fake.
The document was shared by former UFC star Mike Perry, who was also Tommy Fury's back-up in case the Brit failed to show up for his fight with Paul in Saudi Arabia. The script detailed everything from the ringwalk costumes and music to how the fight would play out and what the two rivals would say afterwards.
But the Saudi Arabian organisers have since confirmed to Mirror Fighting that the document is not real. The page appears to have been put together by 'Troop Boxing' and was widely shared hours before the fight takes place.
Paul's boxing career has been blighted by claims he has fixed his fights, including his most recent win over UFC legend Anderson Silva. Several fighters, including British UFC star Paddy Pimblett, have accused Silva of taking a dive, claiming he wasn't even hit when he was dropped by Paul.
But the YouTuber has consistently denied the accusations, saying of Pimblett: "I was really wanting to like you, I really was; you've got a good thing going for you but then you come out and say my fight with Anderson Silva was rigged. I'm sick and tired of this narrative. It's stupid and pathetic; you're disrespecting the own GOAT of your own sport. You're saying that Anderson Silva is a criminal, that he is a fraud. You're saying Viacom, one of the biggest media companies in the world, is doing criminal stuff."

Paul and Fury have been on a collision course for two years and will finally touch gloves at the third attempt. Fury pulled out of their first scheduled meeting in December 2021 when he broke a rib in sparring. He was also forced to withdraw last August when he was banned from flying to New York for a press conference.
Paul is the bookies' favourite to prevail tonight but Fury brings with him a better boxing pedigree having boxed as an amateur and shared the gym with brother Tyson who holds one of the heavyweight world titles.
