Tommy Fury set to hand Jake Paul boxing rematch with fight date already suggested

Tommy Fury is likely to hand Jake Paul a rematch this summer, with the pair set to meet for a second time after Fury beat the American via a split decision last month.

The fight was closer than many expected, with Fury dominating large periods of the contest but Paul did manage to land some significant blows. The fight at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia went the distance, with eight rounds followed by an amicable aftermath where Fury revealed his willingness to grant Paul a rematch.

According to boxing reporter Mike Coppinger, the rematch clause which Paul had inserted to his fight contract in the event of a defeat will be activated with a fight to take place this summer in July. After the fight, Paul expressed his desire to pursue a rematch with the event having been a resounding commercial success for both fighters.
