AD DIRIYAH (SAUDI ARABIA) – British reality TV star Tommy Fury beat American YouTuber Jake Paul on points Sunday in a boxing spectacle intended to boost Saudi Arabia’s reputation as a top-flight fight destination.
Despite suffering a knockdown in the eighth and final round of the cruiserweight contest, Fury won a split decision to the delight of Saudi fans, who shouted “Let’s go Tommy” in the closing stages.
Addressing the crowd through tears afterwards, Fury — who is the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, but better known for his turn on the dating show Love Island — declared he had “made my own legacy” with the win.
