It was announced on October 29, 2021 that undefeated duo Jake Paul and Tommy Fury would be facing each other on December 18, less than four months after Fury had made his U.S. debut on the undercard of Paul's bout against mixed martial artist and former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley on August 29.[2] The bout was slated to be contested at a limit of 192 lbs under the cruiserweight division and aired live on Showtime PPV in the United States similarly to Paul-Woodley.[1]

On November 5, 2021, a few details of the undercard were announced, as Paul teammate and former Tommy Fury opponent Anthony Taylor was announced to be taking on Nate Diaz's teammate Chris Avila in a fight at 168-pounds for eight rounds. Also announced for the undercard was former NBA player Deron Williams in a fight against former NFL player Frank Gore.[3]

On December 6, Fury pulled out of the bout due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib, and was replaced by Tyron Woodley, who will now face Paul in a rematch after losing a split decision to him back in August.[4][5] The rematch will be contested over eight rounds at a limit of 192 lbs under the cruiserweight division.[6]
