Tommy Fury rejects Jake Paul's new offer to move fight to the UK

Tommy Fury has rejected Jake Paul's $500,000 offer for a UK fight after once again being forced out of a clash with the YouTuber.

Fury was set to face Paul on December 18 of last year, but was forced out of that fight with a rib injury and replaced by Tyron Woodley. The pair had rescheduled their clash for August 6 at Madison Square Garden, but a travel ban has cost Fury a huge payday and a pay-per-view headline fight.

Paul opted, however, to throw his rival one last lifeline, as long as he was willing to take a 75 per cent pay cut in order for the fight to be held in the UK. The Brit was set to earn $2million to face Paul at the iconic New York venue, but the YouTuber has previously insisted that pay-per-view sales and sponsorship income would be dramatically lower if the bout took place in the UK.
