Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury set for Aug. 6 at Madison Square Garden
Jake Paul's next fight is official and, for the first time, it'll come against someone with previous professional boxing experience.
Paul, 25, will face Tommy Fury on Saturday, Aug. 6 at Madison Square Garden, the pair of undefeated boxers announced Thursday morning.
Fury, 23, is 8-0 as a pro and most recently defeated Daniel Bocianski on points in April. He's the half-brother of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and starred on season five of British reality show "Love Island."

Paul is 5-0 with his last two victories coming against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, including a devastating knockout win in December. Prior to that, Paul fought former UFC fighter Ben Askren, former NBA player Nate Robinson and YouTuber AnEsonGib. Prior to his boxing career, Paul had a role on Disney Channel show "Bizaardvark."
