Was Tommy Fury’s fight Vs Jake Paul real or scripted?
Hours before the Fury vs Paul fight took place, the alleged ‘script’ leaked online which widely detailed what would happen during the event and claimed we would see Tommy lose via KO to Jake.
However, promoters revealed that the script was, in fact, fake as they insisted the fight was not rigged.
The document was originally shared by fighter Mike Perry, who was the stand-in fighter to face Jake in the case that Fury pulled out of the bout.
Fans also found that the document, which claimed to be authorised by Troop Boxing Promotions, was fake after noticing the alleged company does not exist, according to Google.

Contrary to the falsified document, Tommy won the bout by a split decision, proving the fight was not scripted.
Following eight rounds, the judge scored it: 75-74 Paul, 76-73 Fury and 76-73 Fury.
Tommy dedicated his win to his long-term girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague and their one-month-old daughter Bambi.
