Jake Paul has brutally dismissed Tommy Fury’s reasoning for turning down a $15 million offer for a boxing rematch. Fury, who handed Paul his first professional loss, claimed he couldn’t travel to the US, but Paul insisted the fight wasn’t planned for America and called Fury ’Daddy’s little boy,’ referencing the influence of Fury’s father, who has a criminal record preventing US entry.
After Fury declined the proposal, Paul took to social media to exchange heated words with his rival. Fury fired back, challenging Paul to offer the same purse anywhere else in the world and promising to ’repeat what I did the first time.’ The war of words highlights the ongoing bitter rivalry between the two fighters, even after their initial showdown in Saudi Arabia.
Paul has moved on from the failed negotiations, announcing a stunning heavyweight clash with former champion Anthony Joshua. The eight-round professional bout is set for December 19th in Miami and will be streamed globally on Netflix, marking a significant event in the crossover boxing space.
