Watch Jake Paul and Tommy Fury start fighting BEFORE the bell as bout finally takes place after two-year feud

JAKE PAUL and Tommy Fury began fighting before the bell as the long-awaited grudge contest finally kicked off.

The pair could be seen eager to get at each other even before the referee had pulled away from the action.

Eager Paul and Fury went on the attack very early

Fury and Paul were squaring up to each other for a few seconds before the bell could even be heard.

Eventually the fight got underway as the Problem Child and TNT went head-to-head.

The pair have proven incapable of being in the same room without kicking off.

Back when the fight was announced, the two squared up in the ring before the Artur Beterbiev v Anthony Yarde fight.

They appeared ready to scrap right there and had to be separated by their teams.

Paul and Fury also almost came to blows at their pre-match press conference earlier this week.

Derek Chisora had to intervene to calm things down.

The pair have had a war of words for a couple of years now and genuinely appear to hold resentment for each other.

Earlier this week, Fury told the Sun how much he did not rate his rival

He said: “He can say what he wants because talking is his game. Fighting is mine.

“On Sunday night, it is not about who can talk the best. It is about who can fight the best. He’s absolutely rubbish.

“I’ve been in boxing all my life. He can’t fight.

“Jake Paul, he is what he is. He’s a white-collar boxer.”
