British boxer Tommy Fury has reignited his rivalry with Jake Paul by challenging him to a rematch following his controversial fight against Mike Tyson. This challenge comes after a series of events that have kept boxing fans on the edge of their seats.
Fury was originally scheduled to face Darren Till, but the fight was canceled due to an alleged threat from Till to perform a kick to the head during the bout. However, this version of events has been questioned by DAZN, the streaming platform that was set to broadcast the fight, as the event is still listed on its schedule.
In light of this situation, Fury decided to seize the moment and challenge his former rival, Jake Paul. The Brit, who defeated Paul in their first encounter, is eager to consolidate his victory and prove his superiority in the ring.
Fury addressed the issue in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, December 10: “Right, so I’ve just woken up and seen Logan Paul talking on his podcast again about how I don’t want to fight Jake and that I’m running scared. I saw Jake tweet the other day about how he offered me X, Y, and Z to fight on Netflix.”

Tomy Fury was clear and confident in his response, stating that he is not afraid to face Paul again. “I just wanted to come on here and say that no one’s running from that fight. I beat you once already, I handed you your first loss. The minute you stepped up and fought a real boxer, you lost fair and square,” he said.
