Third time's a charm.
That's the phrase those organising and fans will be hoping rings true when Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally meet on Sunday inside the ring in Saudi Arabia.
With two eccentric personalities such as Paul and Fury, there is no surprise that there has been a long road before they go head-to-head.
This Paul vs. Fury fight is one which has been scheduled twice previously, but for one reason or another has never come to fruition.
December 2021: Fury pulls out due to illness
The first fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury was set for December 18, 2021.
However, with just under a week until the first bell, Fury withdrew due to a injury and medical problem.
This resulted in former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley filling the gap to face Paul a second time and he was knocked out by 'The Problem Child' in round six.
August 2022: Visa problems derail the re-arranged date
After the first date fell through, Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury was then re-arranged for August 6, 2022.
But with a month to go until the fight Fury pulled out once more, this time citing visa issues which were preventing him from entering the United States.
Paul found a replacement for this date in the form of Hasim Rahman Jr, but this was also cancelled due to Rahman Jr encountering weight issues.
