Tommy Fury defeats Jake Paul with a narrow split decision victory
Tommy Fury can celebrate when he defeats his arch rival Jake Paul via split decision tonight in their highly anticipated boxing match.
Fury was in control of the fight for the majority of the eight rounds and is the deserved winner of the fight. However, the Englishman did not get his way as ‘The Problem Child’ secured a final round knockdown. Fury wasn’t hurt by the shot Paul landed, but his gloves touched the canvas for a brief second, meaning it was a legitimate knockdown.
In fact, the 23-year-old was the underdog from the best overseas sportsbooks heading into the fight, but he defied those odds and beat his American rival, who was a heavy favorite with the best betting sites. abroad, relatively easily.
It seems that the boxing community on Twitter is happy that the right man won the fight. Many times in boxing there seems to be a dubious decision or some form of mild corruption when it comes to the judges’ scorecards and who ultimately won the fight.
That was the fear tonight when MC Michael Buffer announced it was a split decision, but luckily the right man got the nod and Fury can travel home to the UK with the biggest win of his career under his belt.

Nothing but respect for Jake Paul and all he has accomplished in his life. Kid is a grafter. But can we stop calling him a boxer now? He just faced one of the rookies and he was exposed. He gave her two rounds at best. I think he should go fight @KSI and make a fortune. #boxing #PaulFury

People are dying to criticize Tommy, he is 23 years old and still learning. The pressure he was under tonight was immense and I don’t care what anyone else says, he vastly outclassed a tough white collar fighter in Jake Paul. Jake should fight KSI next in the world of white collar celebrities.
