A fake script showing how Jake Paul will KO Tommy Fury in the eighth round of their fight tonight has been circulating on social media.
Fury and Paul will settle their two-year rivalry in Saudi Arabia in a fight most bookmakers are struggling to call. Paul is the marginal favourite despite having never fought a professional boxer - but former UFC star - and back-up opponent for Fury - Mike Perry has shared a script apparently showing the result of the fight is pre-determined.
The document, which has been cobbled together by 'Troop Boxing' shows what happens in each of the eight scheduled rounds. The first session is predicted to be cautious before Fury takes over in the second - but the fight then switches again.
By round five Fury's eye is almost completely closed and Paul looks to be cruising to victory and his rival's corner begins to worry in the seventh round. And they are right to be as Paul closes the show in the final stanza, dropping Fury before the referee waves off the fight.
The script even goes as far as to say Paul will then call out bitter rival KSI before agreeing to give Fury a rematch - as long as it is held in Los Angeles. That is unlikely to happen given Fury's inability to travel to America cost him a fight with Paul last August.

Earlier in the script, the ringwalks are explained in detail with Paul supposedly dressing up as a baby to mock Fury who recently became a dad. The YouTuber walks out to Mr Steal Your Girl by Try Songz while Fury is accompanied by boxing classic Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.
The fight organisers have since confirmed to Mirror Fighting that the script is fake. Boxing pundits are split on the outcome of the fight but both men have promised a stoppage within four rounds. Paul has a rematch clause should he suffer the first defeat of his career with the sequel potentially taking place in the UK.
