Jake Paul is in the midst of a meteoric rise in the sport of boxing, but he remains interested in avenging his one and only loss in the ring.
‘The Problem Child’ has beaten some of the greatest combat sports athletes in history during his time in the spotlight. Despite the large success he has battled to in the squared circle, the 27-year-old doesn’t have a flawless record.
Despite winning five fights against some notable competition since their matchup, Jake Paul suffered defeat almost two years ago at the hands of Tommy Fury.
Fury fought his way to a close split decision victory and has welcomed a rematch between the pair in the future.
“[I would accept the Jake Paul rematch] in a heartbeat, yeah,” Fury told ESPN. “I mean at the end of the day, I think me and him, we’re set in stone.”
“He’s only got one defeat and that’s to me, so it’s inevitable that we are going to get back in the ring.”
“I know I’m going to be an improved fighter and with him, the [fights] he’s taking and what he’s doing, I’m not sure if he’s going to improve that much.”
Despite coming out on top in their February 2023 bout, Tommy Fury has fought just one time; managing to beat British YouTuber KSI.
During that time, Jake Paul has competed five times against much higher opposition.

Rumors of Paul vs. Fury 2 are beginning to surface after ‘TNT’s proposed fight with former UFC title challenger Darren Till fell through.
In response to the reports, Jake Paul gave a stipulation of what must happen before he accepts a second fight with Fury.
For a rematch to ever come to fruition Paul wants a guarantee put into their contract. If the fight is scheduled as anything less than a 12-round affair, the social media star isn’t interested.
Only if it’s 12 rounds
