Jake Paul appears to be playing mind games with Tommy Fury having refused to respond to his rival’s latest call-out.
Fury returned to the ring last Friday when he outpointed little-known Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest over six rounds. It was Fury’s first fight for 18 months and just his second since he defeated Paul in 2023. Fury, whose brother is former heavyweight world champion Tyson, took the opportunity after his win to call out Paul for a second meeting.
“Jake Paul’s a b**** and he’s running scared,” Fury declared. “Hey, Jake, the hand is fixed now, the hand is fixed. I fought a guy in here tonight who has had over 100 amateur fights. He’s experienced as f*** and he’s as tough as teeth. If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I will knock him spark out. I’ve had two years out of the ring, this is me after two years. I will knock that bum out whenever he wants it.”
While Paul has remained conspicuously silent on social media following Fury’s challenge, it seems he may be playing mind games with his adversary. Currently gearing up for a fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28, Paul has also hinted at Fury turning down a lucrative offer for a rematch to be streamed on Netflix.
“Offered Fury $8m to fight on Netflix,” Paul boasted recently on social media in a post he later removed. “He turned it down and now fighting an MMA fighter… Now tell me who is running? Stupid daddy controlled kid, protected from the inevitable.”, reports All Out Fighting.
Fury was all set to square off against former UFC fighter Darren Till earlier in the year, but withdrew after Till teased with a threat of a head kick during their bout. Tommy has left his fans guessing about his next move on Misfits Boxing’s roster, though he recently took a moment to reflect on what’s been a rollercoaster ride through life’s ups and downs.
“I just want to say thank you for this victory to the Lord Saviour Jesus Christ, without him none of this would be possible,” he gratefully expressed. “I want to say hello to my beautiful baby girl Bambi at home, my sweetheart Molly, she’ll always be mine forever. And I want to dedicate this to my mother and father because without them I wouldn’t be breathing, I wouldn’t be here. The reason I am here today is my mother and father. I will love them until the day I die and I owe them everything.
“I’ve been through a hell of a lot these last two years. I’ve been though things that tear men down, drunk, alcoholic; I lost my family for a little bit. But I’ve turned things around, I’ve gone from being low to being on top of the world again.”
