A heated exchange erupted online this week as Jake Paul alleged that Tommy Fury rejected a lucrative $15 million offer for a rematch. Paul made the claim via social media, sparking considerable debate within the boxing community. He implied Fury was unwilling to fight despite the substantial financial incentive.
Tommy Fury swiftly addressed Paul's claims, clarifying that the proposed rematch was to take place in the United States, a location he currently cannot enter. Fury countered by offering to fight Paul anywhere else in the world for the same $15 million within eight weeks, vowing to repeat his previous victory over Paul.
The public dispute reignited discussions about their previous bout in February 2023, where Fury handed Paul his sole professional loss. While Paul has expressed a desire for a rematch, he has yet to publicly respond to Fury's latest challenge. Meanwhile, Paul is preparing for an upcoming boxing event against Anthony Joshua.
