The fight was scheduled twice before in 2021 and 2022. However, it never came to fruition. Now we are just hours away from the bout.

There were also rumors earlier about the ex-Manchester United star, Cristiano Ronaldo, attending the event. Even Jake Paul himself and Piers Morgan confirmed the same. Interestingly, the football legend graced the event today.

Meanwhile, Tyson has been in Saudi Arabia for almost a week as he attended press conferences and weighs ins for the event. Earlier, Ronaldo was spotted with his son at the event.
However, later Bleacher Report posted a video in which one of the greatest football players, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, are seen posing together. Many fans were awestruck in the comments section of the post. After all, they are huge sports figures. It was delightful for the fans to watch them pose together.
Paul and Fury agree to an all-or-nothing deal!
There is a lot of animosity between both the young boxers. They have previously taken plenty of verbal shots at each other in their interviews. Even during the press conference, fans got to witness ample trash talk.
During one such exchange, ‘The Problem Child’ offered a deal to Fury. He stated he will pay double the amount of what they already agreed upon if Fury won the fight. But if Paul wins, he will take away everything.
