Three years after first stepping into the ring together, the rivalry between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul is far from settled. Fans of both boxing and crossover fights have been waiting for months to see the pair square off again, especially after Fury handed Paul his first career loss in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
The cancellation of Jake Paul’s scheduled fight against Gervonta Davis opened the door for speculation that Fury could finally get his rematch. Fury, however, has made it clear that negotiations have been anything but smooth. The fighter’s team claims that financial disputes and contractual disagreements have slowed progress, leaving fans frustrated and fighters in a holding pattern.
Even with setbacks, Fury appears determined to secure the fight on his terms. The Brit has been out of the ring for an extended recovery following surgery, but he remains focused on returning to the sport at full strength. Meanwhile, Paul continues to raise his profile with high-profile victories over Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., keeping pressure on Fury to finalize the rematch.
Why has the Fury-Paul rematch stalled?
Fury addressed the negotiation challenges in a recent video interview with Fight Hub TV. “Well, it should have happened six months ago. We’ve been trying to put this together for nearly a year but unfortunately, they’re the ones putting the breaks on things by being greedy and they just won’t sign a contract,” Fury said.
He added: “They want most of the money, which is understandable, but we’re not being treated fair by them, so I’ve given them my number, it’s a yay or nay thing, either take it or leave out but it’s not us putting a delay, it’s them.”
His comments underline the ongoing tension in negotiations, highlighting both Fury’s readiness and frustration with delays. Other top contenders, including Andy Ruiz Jr. and Anthony Joshua, have also positioned themselves as potential opponents for Paul, intensifying speculation about how the next fight could shape the heavyweight crossover scene.
