In the past the pair have clashed at a press conference, with Jake saying: "When I'm confident in my skill, I'm already thinking about the next opponent.

"Why do you think this guy is sitting behind me right now?"

Tommy chimed in and said, "Your time is coming pal. Don't mention my name out of that garbage mouth of yours."

This fight is hotly-anticipated by fans of the sport, with many taking so social media to discuss, debate and support their chosen boxer.

In support of Jake, one fan said, "The future of boxing is Jake Paul. Jake has the speed of Tyson and the power of Lennox Lewis and I think he deserves a Championship fight. I genuinely don’t see anyone beating him in the foreseeable future and it really is a tribute to his hard work and dedication. Tommy is done."

While in support of Tommy, another said, "This is Jake Paul's most interesting fight imo, finally fighting an actual boxer. Don't get me wrong Tyron Woodley knocked jake down and it was a good fight but i reckon Tommy edges this."
