Jake Paul has surprisingly been made odds-on favourite to beat Tommy Fury tonight, with the American YouTube star facing a full-time professional boxer for the first time.
Paul has a record of 6-0-0 in his fighting career so far, but has faced MMA fighters and basketball players rather than specialised boxers. Fury, meanwhile, has an 8-0-0 record, with wins against a series of professionals who have made a career in boxing.
Despite this, Paul is being backed by the bookies to beat Fury, with the former Disney channel star being odds-on favourite across the betting markets for the fight. Should he win the fight, he will be rewarded with a place in the WBC's cruiserweight rankings, an offer which has also been extended to Fury.
