Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have agreed to an eight-round bout scheduled for December 18 in Tampa, Florida, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.

The fight will be contested at 192 pounds.

Paul enters with a 4-0 record as a professional boxer, although none of his opponents have been primarily trained in boxing. Fury, the half brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, would represent a change as he enters with a perfect 7-0 record in his career.

In addition to the fight, Fury also agreed to a side bet that could force a name change, as Paul explained:

“I offered Fury to change his name to Tommy Fumbles or put up $500,000 of his purse if he loses. He chose to agree to change his name. Guess he puts more value on money then he does his own family name. Maybe he knows his family is disowning him once he loses, so money and [Tommy’s girlfriend and UK TV personality] Molly [Mae-Hague] is all he’s going to have left.”

Paul, who gained popularity as a social media personality, is coming off a win over former MMA fighter Tyron Woodley in August.
