The bout between the pair wasย originally scheduled for December 2021.
However, Tommy - the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury- pulled out due toย a bacterial infection and a broken rib.
The bout was postponed as a result and ultimately rescheduled forย August 2022.
Yetย the clash - which was going to take place in the US - was also cancelled because of Fury's visa issues.
Ahead of Sunday's match, the two boxersย were pulled apart at a fiery weigh-in on Saturday.
The heated exchange ended with the reality TV show starย shoving the social media personality before voxing: "Tomorrow night, his time is up. Jake Paul will no longer be boxing
"I'm gonna put this guy away in four rounds."
