Saudi Arabian organizers have reportedly denied claims regarding the 'script leak' that accused them of rigging the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury boxing bout.

Former UFC veteran Mike Perry sent out a tweet on Sunday with a photo of the aforementioned script, detailing the round-by-round breakdown and post-fight interview. He questioned the legitimacy of tonight's bout, writing:

"What's happening?"

According to the script that was leaked, the final round will see 'The Problem Child' drop 'TNT' with a right hand, leading to a TKO due to an eye injury. The YouTuber-turned-boxer will then supposedly use the post-fight interview as an opportunity to call out fellow social media influencer-turned-boxer KSI.

But the Saudi organizers have now told outlet Mirror Fighting that the document is fake and that it was put together by 'Troop Boxing'.

This isn't the first time Paul has had to address the legitimacy of his fights. He had responded to Paddy Pimblett after the UFC lightweight claimed that Paul's win over Anderson Silva was fixed, saying:

"I'm sick and tired of this narrative [rigged boxing fights]. It's stupid and pathetic; you're disrespecting the own GOAT of your own sport. You're saying that Anderson Silva is a criminal, that he is a fraud. You're saying that Viacom, one of the biggest media companies in the world, is doing criminal stuff."

It will be interesting to see what transpires in the fight as Jake Paul looks to remain unbeaten in his boxing career.


Jake Paul blasts Tommy Fury for not being confident ahead of their fight

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury got into an exchange during their press conference that saw the YouTuber-turned-boxer issue a proposal for 'TNT' that would see them both put their fight purses on the line.

'The Problem Child' later tweeted a video where he blasted Fury for refusing to sign the contract after they shook hands.

"His dad said that they would agree to it so I signed the contract right in front of them," Jake Paul said. "Sent it over to their lawyers, and just as I though, they have gone silent as a mouse for the last 24 hours. They do not want to sign the contract. Which just goes to show that they have false confidence. Put your money where your mouth is."

It will be interesting to see what transpires during the fight and whether Fury will regret not signing the updated agreement should he hand 'The Problem Child' his first loss.
