Jake Paul will fight Tommy Fury in the main event of a Showtime pay-per-view card on Aug. 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York, Paul announced Thursday.

Unified featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano is set to co-headline the event against Brenda Carabajal in her return to 126 pounds.

Paul and Fury were scheduled to square off last December, but Fury withdrew due to injury, and Paul went on to knock out former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in a rematch.

Paul, who rose to fame as a YouTuber, is 5-0 as a professional boxer with four knockouts. This will be the first time he's faced someone with prior boxing experience.

Fury, the half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is 8-0 with four stoppages. Tommy returned to action in April, defeating Daniel Bocianski by decision on the undercard of Tyson's knockout win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium.
