- Tommy Fury is open to a 12-round rematch with Jake Paul but demands serious negotiations.
- Fury previously defeated Paul and KSI, establishing his dominance in YouTuber boxing.
- Despite the ongoing exchange on social media, Jake Paul has yet to publicly respond to Fury's rematch suggestion.
Tommy Fury replied to earlier YouTube Content creator Jake Paul suggests a 12-round rematch and says he's open to the idea if there's a “serious” plan. In February 2023, Fury handed Jake Paul his first career loss, breaking the former YouTube content creator's unbeaten streak. Although Paul managed to knock Fury down late in the fight, it wasn't enough to secure the win.
Since then, Fury has added another high-profile victory to his resume by defeating KSI and securing the title of “King of YouTuber Boxing.” While he was originally scheduled to face former UFC fighter Darren Till in his next fight, the fight was canceled when Till pulled out. Following this development, Paul wasted no time in setting out his terms for a potential rematch, stating that he would only agree if Fury accepted a 12-round format instead of the original eight rounds. Now Fury has addressed Jake Paul's suggestion and expressed his willingness to consider it – provided the YouTuber and former boxer is “serious” about implementing it.

The former Love Island Star went on to explain that Jake knew where to find him and urged him to “sign up” directly instead of making offers through other channels. “It's that simple. I can come back after a year and beat you both. If you want to fight, let’s talk some serious numbers, you know where I am,” he added. However, Jake Paul has yet to respond to Fury's latest comments.
The rivalry between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul stems from their shared rise in the boxing world, fueled by social media clashes and competition in the ring. Their feud began in 2021 when both expressed interest in a fight and traded barbs online. The fight was originally scheduled for December 2021, but was postponed due to Fury's injury and illness and then postponed again in August 2022 due to visa issues. The long-awaited fight finally took place on February 26, 2023 in Saudi Arabia, where Fury won by split decision and handed Paul his first professional loss, although Paul knocked him down late in the eighth round. Their feud has only grown stronger thanks to their constant back and forth on social media, with both attacking each other for a variety of reasons.
Fury's comments follow Jake Paul's recent unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson last month on Netflix, which has sparked growing speculation about Paul's next opponent. In addition to Fury, Ryan Garcia also challenged Jake Paul. The highly anticipated clash between Paul and Tyson was met with significant problems as Netflix viewers faced technical glitches including blackouts and poor video quality throughout the broadcast. Despite these hurdles, Paul entered the fight with a professional record of 10-1, his only loss coming against Tommy Fury earlier this year.
