It's the fight that's been two years in the making - and Jake Paul still wanted fans to wait just a little bit longer.

This comes after Fury entered the ring wearing a sweet tribute to his newborn daughter, Bambi, who he shares with partner Molly-Mae Hague.
When Paul finally made his way to the ring after a 2-minute delay, he was accompanied by his entourage, which included his brother Logan Paul.

Logan is no doubt backing his brother, as he previously remarked that Fury should go 'back to Love Island' if he loses the fight.
The 27-year-old podcast host said: "There's a legacy on the line. Someone's legacy is going to get made tonight and someone's is going to get broken."
He reiterated his faith in his brother, adding: "I don't see a world in which Tommy can pull this off.
"I was shooting something today and I said to the camera, 'One of these gentlemen is acting. One of them is purely faking what they're saying.' I know which one it is."
When does he think his brother will deliver the winning blow?
"I've been saying round four, but I don't really care. I do think it's going to be a knockout though."
The fight has been years in the making, as the two rivals have been meaning to settle their differences in the ring since 2021.
The two were meant to face off in December 2021, before Fury pulled out due to an injury.
A rescheduled match in August 2022 was cancelled when Fury had difficulties travelling to the United States where the fight was to take place.
Tough talk initially subsided briefly when Paul presented Fury with a gift for Bambi, whilst apologising for leaking the birth of his daughter.
But now the fight is here, the time for talk has come to an end and the two men will settle their differences with their fists.
