Jake Paul has hit out at his old rival Tommy Fury for turning down a monstrous payday in favor of a clash with a former UFC star.
The duo squared off in Saudi Arabia last yr, with the Brit coming out on top after an intense cruiserweight clash. As a substitute of pursuing an quick rematch, Paul went on to face Nate Diaz, while Fury took on KSI in Misfits Boxing.
Earlier this yr, they reportedly revisited the potential for one other fight, with Netflix the likely broadcaster worldwide. However it fell through, and Paul went on to fight Mike Tyson in a record-breaking heavyweight showdown.
Jake Paul tears into Tommy Fury over selecting Darren Till fight as an alternative of rematch
In a tweet that stayed online for not more than a matter of minutes, Jake Paul tore into his old rival Tommy Fury for turning down the chance to fight a second time. He claimed to supply a whopping $8million for what could be a large rematch, which might likely have been his best profession purse.
As a substitute, Fury goes to fight Darren Till under the Misfits Boxing banner, with a possible rematch against KSI down the road. This irked Paul, who wrote: “Offered Fury $8M to fight on Netflix.
“He turned it down and now fighting an MMA fighter… Now tell me who’s running? Silly daddy controlled kid, shielded from the inevitable.”
Tommy Fury teased potential Jake Paul fight within the PFL
Earlier this yr, Tommy Fury reunited along with his old training partner Tom Aspinall for a session within the MMA gym. And seemingly out of nowhere, he suggested that he could fight Paul within the PFL cage for his or her rematch, as an alternative of the boxing ring.
Paul is signed for an eventual fight within the Smart Cage, and has an equity stake within the promotion where he has taken on an ambassadorial role. Fury, during a YouTube video with Aspinall, took note of a pair of PFL gloves, saying he would really like a bout within the cage.
“Jake Paul’s within the PFL, isn’t he?” He asked, to which Aspinall replied: “Oh, I like that then.” Fury then added: “I’m going to smash his face in after I get good at MMA. I’ll beat him in boxing and the cage. Big useless pr***.”
“I reckon a year-and-a-half, to 2 years of coaching, until I’ll beat him in a fight no problem within the cage. He’s got the funds, he’s got the most effective sparring partners on the planet. So, he’s doing alright. But, no match for me.”
