Important takeaways
- Tommy Fury is open to a 12-round rematch with Jake Paul, but requires serious negotiations.
- Fury previously defeated Paul and KSI, establishing his dominance in YouTuber boxing.
- Despite ongoing exchanges on social media, Jake Paul has yet to publicly respond to Fury's rematch proposal.
Tommy Fury has responded to ex YouTube content creator Jake Paul's suggestion of a 12-round rematch, saying he's open to the idea if there's a “serious” plan in place. In February 2023, Fury handed Jake Paul his first career loss, breaking the former YouTube content creator's undefeated streak. Although Paul managed to knock Fury down late in the fight, it wasn't enough to secure the victory.
Since then, Fury has added another high-profile victory to his resume, defeating KSI and earning the title of King of YouTuber Boxing. While he was originally scheduled to face former UFC fighter Darren Till in his next bout, the fight was canceled when Till pulled out. Following this development, Paul wasted no time laying 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 taken up Jake Paul's proposal and expressed his willingness to consider it – provided the YouTuber-turned-boxer is “serious” about making it happen.

Undisputed Boxing Game adds Jake Paul to roster
Indisputable, the recently released boxing game by Steel City Interactive, adds controversial influencer turned boxer Jake Paul to its roster.
In his Instagram Stories, Fury said: “I just woke up and saw Logan Paul talking on his podcast yet again about how I don't want to fight Jake, and I'm scared. I saw Jake tweet the other day about how he offered me X, Y and Z on Netflix. I just wanted to come here and say that no one runs away from that fight.” Fury went on to say: “I already beat you once, gave you your first loss. I can give you a second loss, that's no problem, but let's talk some serious numbers on the phone.”
Tommy Fury is open to a Jake Paul Rematch
The former Love Island star further stated that Jake knows where to find him and urged him to “contact contact” directly, rather than making offers through other channels. “It's as simple as that. I can come back in a year and beat you. If you want to fight, let's talk some serious numbers, you know where I am,” he added. However, Jake Paul is yet to react to Fury's latest comments .
Tommy Fury and Jake Paul's rivalry stems from their joint rise in the boxing world, fueled by social media and in-ring competition. Their feud began in 2021, with both expressing interest in a fight and trading barbs online. Originally scheduled for December 2021, the bout was delayed due to Fury's injury and illness, then postponed again in August 2022 due to visa issues. The highly anticipated fight finally occurred on February 26, 2023 in Saudi Arabia, with Fury winning by split decision and handing Paul his first professional loss despite a late knockdown by Paul in the eighth round. Their feud has only grown thanks to their constant back and forth on social media, with both taking shots at each other for all sorts 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 has also challenged Jake Paul. The highly anticipated clash between Paul and Tyson faced notable issues, with Netflix viewers encountering technical glitches, including interruptions and poor video quality throughout the broadcast. Despite these obstacles, Paul entered the fight with a professional record of 10-1, his only loss coming earlier this year against Tommy Fury.
