Jake Paul, known as ‘The Problem Child’, has been rapidly rising in the world of boxing. Despite his success, he is eager to avenge his only loss in the ring.
Having defeated some of the greatest combat sports athletes, Jake Paul still holds a defeat from almost two years ago at the hands of Tommy Fury.
Tommy Fury secured a close split decision victory in their matchup and has expressed interest in a rematch with Jake Paul in the future.
“I would accept the Jake Paul rematch in a heartbeat,” Fury stated in an interview with ESPN. “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.”
Despite his victory over Jake Paul in 2023, Tommy Fury has only fought once since then, defeating British YouTuber KSI. Meanwhile, Jake Paul has competed in five fights against tougher opponents.

Rumors of a potential Paul vs. Fury 2 fight have started circulating, especially after Fury’s proposed fight with Darren Till fell through.
In response to the reports, Jake Paul has specified that he would only consider a rematch with Fury if it is scheduled as a 12-round bout.
