It appears the matchup between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will finally take place.

Paul, 26, and Fury, 23, have agreed to a deal for a fight Feb. 25, sources told journalist Ariel Helwani.

The boxing event will take place in Saudi Arabia, Helwani added. Both Paul and Fury have enrolled in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) program ahead of the bout.

The two were scheduled to square off in December 2021, but Fury pulled out of the bout due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib.

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley stepped in for Fury, losing to Paul via sixth-round knockout.

Paul (6-0, 4 KOs), is coming off a unanimous decision victory over MMA legend Anderson Silva in October. "The Problem Child" signed a massive deal with the PFL earlier in January and is expected to compete in MMA later this year or in 2024.

Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) has been idle since squaring off with Rolly Lambert in an exhibition bout in November. The half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, his last official victory came over Daniel Bocianski in April.
