Julius Francis prefers Mike Tyson rematch over Jake Paul fight after viral KO video

Heavyweight star Julius Francis wants to take a rematch with Mike Tyson over any potential fight with YouTube star Jake Paul.

Francis recently came back into the headlines after knocking a customer out cold during a heated altercation while working as security at London venue BOXPARK. He previously fought legendary heavyweight Tyson back in 2000 where he lost via second round KO in Manchester.

And the former British champion has claimed he would return to the ring if a "decent" financial offer was on the table. “I'm going to put it out there. I've never liked talking about money, but they could put up with a decent offer,” said Francis when asked about a Tyson fight by TMZ. Then, who knows. I'm going to put it out there. I’m going to say we can have a rematch.
