Tommy Fury Addresses Possible Jake Paul Rematch

Tommy Fury has responded to former YouTube content creator Jake Paul’s proposal for a 12-round rematch, stating he’s open to the idea if there’s a “serious” plan in place. In February 2023, Fury handed Jake Paul his first career loss, breaking the former YouTube content creator’s undefeated streak. Though Paul managed to knock Fury down late in the fight, it wasn’t enough to secure the win.

Since then, Fury has added another high-profile victory to his resume, defeating KSI and earning the title of king of YouTuber boxing. While he was originally set to face former UFC fighter Darren Till in his next bout, the fight was called off when Till withdrew. Following this development, Paul wasted no time laying out his terms for a potential rematch, stating that he would only agree if Fury accepted a 12-round format instead of the original eight rounds. Now, Fury has addressed Jake Paul’s proposal, expressing his willingness to consider it—provided the YouTuber-turned-boxer is “serious” about making it happen.

In his Instagram Stories, Fury said, “I’ve just woke up and seen Logan Paul talking on his podcast yet again about how I don’t want to fight Jake, and I’m running scared. I’ve seen Jake tweeting the other day about how he offered me X, Y, and Z on Netflix. I just wanted to come on here and say no one is running from that fight.” Fury continued by saying, “I beat you once already, handed you your first loss. I can give you a second loss, that’s not a problem, but let’s talk some serious numbers down the phone.”

The former Love Island star further stated that Jake knows where to find him and urged him to “get in touch” directly, rather than making offers through other channels. “It’s as easy as that. I can come back after a year and beat the pair of you. If you want to fight, let’s talk some serious numbers, you know where I am,” he added. However, Jake Paul has yet to react to Fury’s latest comments.

Tommy Fury and Jake Paul’s rivalry stems from their shared rise in the boxing world, fueled by social media clashes and in-ring competition. Their feud began in 2021, with both expressing interest in a fight and trading barbs online. Initially scheduled for December 2021, the bout was delayed due to Fury’s injury and illness, then postponed again in August 2022 due to visa issues. The long-awaited fight finally occurred on February 26, 2023, in Saudi Arabia, where Fury won by split decision, handing Paul his first professional loss despite a late knockdown by Paul in the eighth round. Their feud has only grown thanks to their constant back-and-forth on social media, with both taking shots at each other for all sorts of reasons.

Fury’s remarks follow Jake Paul’s recent unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson last month on Netflix, which has sparked growing speculation about Paul’s next opponent. In addition to Fury, Ryan Garcia has also challenged Jake Paul. The highly anticipated clash between Paul and Tyson faced notable issues, with Netflix viewers encountering technical glitches, including outages and poor video quality throughout the broadcast. Despite these hurdles, Paul entered the fight boasting a 10-1 professional record, his only loss coming earlier this year against Tommy Fury.
