A purported ‘script’ of the Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury bout surfaced on social media ahead of their eight-round grudge match last year, but the actual fight did not adhere to the alleged storyline.

Jake Paul
Fans accused Jake Paul of fixing his boxing matches after a leaked document outlined details of the fight, including ringwalk costumes, backing tracks, and the supposed outcome. Former UFC star Mike Perry, then serving as Fury’s backup, shared the script just hours before the February 26 fight at the Diriyah Arena. However, Saudi Arabian organizers swiftly clarified that the document was fabricated.
Throughout his career, Paul has faced allegations of match-fixing, notably following his victory over UFC star Anderson Silva. Despite such controversies, the Cleveland, Ohio native, with a record of 9-1, has consistently denied these accusations.
The bout between Paul and Fury ultimately went the distance, with Tommy Fury securing a split decision victory, marking Paul’s first loss in professional boxing. Paul is now gearing up to face ‘Platinum’ Perry this weekend, looking to rebound from his defeat against Fury.
