Jake Paul is finally giving fans what they asked for.
On August 6, the former YouTube star will be taking on a “real” boxer when he steps into the ring against Tommy Fury at Madison Square Garden. The match was officially announced today.
Paul vs. Fury was previously scheduled last year but was scrapped after Fury suffered an injury.
Also on the card is a scrap between Amanda Serrano and Brenda Carabajal.

The 23-year-old Fury is 7-0 in his professional boxing career with four knockouts. Like Paul, Fury brings some crossover appeal after starring on the hit UK reality series Love Island where he finished as the season’s runner-up.
The 25-year-old Paul, meanwhile, is 5-0 with four wins by knockout. In his last bout, Paul secured a brutal knockout victory over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
