Jake Paul has claimed that he’s been in contact with Tyson Fury as he looks to secure a rematch with the Love Island star’s younger brother Tommy in the near future

Jake Paul is seemingly eager to fight rival Tommy Fury for a second time

Jake Paul has disclosed that he’s been in talks with Tyson Fury to set up a rematch with his brother Tommy Fury.

Paul and Fury previously faced off in 2023 in Saudi Arabia. Despite landing a knockdown in the final round, the American ended up losing on points. Since their initial encounter, the duo have frequently exchanged jibes online in an attempt to set up a rematch.

However, so far, no rematch has been confirmed. Paul triumphed over Mike Tyson in his most recent fight in November and is set to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr next month. A victory against the Mexican would undoubtedly fuel speculation about a second bout with the former Love Island star.

As for Fury, the 26-year-old made his return to the ring after nearly two years earlier this month. ‘TNT’ claimed a resounding victory on points against Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest, Hungary. In a recent chat with Ariel Helwani, the ‘Problem Child’ expressed his interest in a rematch and revealed he’s even been in touch with Fury’s elder brother.

“I think the Fury fight will happen in the next 12 months, yeah. He just has to be realistic about what’s he’s worth, right?” he said. “He just had a free fight on DAZN that tanked, couldn’t sell the tickets in wherever he was like a 1,000 person venue and he’s just negotiating like he’s God. Again, I have ten names waiting to fight me in multiple different sports, MMA, boxing, all this stuff. These people just have to be realistic about what they’re wanting to get paid and Tommy Fury isn’t.”

Paul also revealed he messaged the ‘Gypsy King’ directly about the situation. “But I DM’d Tyson Fury because Tyson was like, ‘You guys need to make this happen now.’ I was like, ‘Tyson, you’ve got to put your brother in check here. He’s not going to get this money or this offer anywhere else.’ He already missed out on the massive opportunity on Netflix, his dad, who is his manager has no idea what the f*** he’s doing and you can’t let your dad run your career. Tommy’s not his own boss, he’s an airhead as well so I just feel bad for him because he thinks he’s worth more than what he’s worth.”

Earlier in the year, it was disclosed by Paul’s camp that Fury had declined a £6million Netflix rematch offer before Tyson agreed to the deal in November. Paul added: “I just can’t wait to get back in there with this guy because in the past three years, I fought him two years into being a pro boxer now it’s been three years since then,”.

“It’s just night and day and he hasn’t got any better, right? He’s been boxing since he was six years old, it’s going to be the same stuff, same coach, his dumbass dad. He hasn’t got any better so I just can’t wait, seriously I can’t wait to get in there with him and whenever we can make that happen it’s going to be Christmas Day for me.”
