Tommy Fury says he is ready for a rematch with Jake Paul.
Fury handed Paul his sole professional boxing loss to date when the pair faced off in a grudge match in February 2023. Since then, Paul has fought five times to extend his record to 11-1, most recently seen beating 57-year-old Mike Tyson in a Netflix showpiece event.
Tommy Fury, half-brother to former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has since fought and beaten YouTuber KSI and earlier in December pulled out of a fight with former UFC star Darren Till, which was scheduled for January. Fury cited fears that Till would not stick to boxing rules as a reason for his withdrawal.
Paul mocked Fury’s decision and older brother Logan soon weighed in by claiming: "Tommy won't fight Jake.”
He said on his IMPAULSIVE podcast: “Granted, if Tommy's man enough one day and he wants to fight Jake again, which, you know, for the right amount of money, maybe he'll do it. That would be awesome. And I know Jake would like that opportunity, but he doesn't need it.
"And for Tommy Fury, a man in a boxing family, to act like him beating a YouTuber in a split decision by one point is any sort of massive victory is just pathetic to me. And if he were actually about it and wanted to prove that he is the real boxer, he'd fight Jake again."
Fury has now refuted those claims and called for a rematch with the younger Paul, while also claiming that he is ready to take on Logan.

“So I've just woke up and seen Logan Paul talk on his podcast yet again about how I don't wanna fight Jake [for a second time] and I'm running scared,” Fury said on Instagram.
“I've seen Jake tweet me the other day about how he offered me X, Y, and Z [to fight] on Netflix. I just wanted to come in here and say that no one's running from that fight.
“I beat you once already, I handed you your first loss. The minute you stepped up and fought a real boxer, you lost fair and square. I can give you a second loss. That's not a problem, but let's talk some serious numbers down the phone. If you wanna get in touch, you know where I am. It's as easy as that.
“I can come back after a year and beat the pair of you. So at the end of the day, if you wanna fight, let's start [talking about] serious numbers. You know where I am.”

Paul took little time to respond, hitting back on X with: “What [an] absolute muppet. Buddy, you just pulled out of a fight for the 3rd time. You have ZERO credibility.
“I offered you $8M and you ran away from it. And now you got dumped by Molly [Mae, former fiance], getting sued by DAZN and still can’t call a shot without your dad.”
