Jake Paul entertains return to boxing ring for Tommy Fury fight

Jake Paul has rekindled his rivalry with Tommy Fury and suggested the pair could one day meet in the ring.

Paul has a 6-0 unbeaten record as a professional boxer but has never come up against a fighter predominantly known for their exploits as in a boxing ring.

Fury is also unbeaten but has twice failed to take on Paul in proposed bouts, but injury put paid to the first scheduled bout, and visa problems prevented the duo from meeting a second time.

The pair may yet meet in the ring because of the rare amount of transatlantic interest the fight could generate. 

Paul has confirmed a huge deal with MMA organisation PFL but is still permitted to arrange boxing fights, and has even suggested he takes on Nate Diaz from UFC both in an MMA clash and a boxing fight.

Speaking to the Mirror, Paul suggested the pair clash again, saying: “I have done everything in my power to make the fight happen against this 8-0 boxer, including offering to go to Manchester for 18 February in partnership with [promoters] Frank and George Warren.

“I’m looking at any other alternative to make this fight work.”

Paul then tweeted Fury: “I will come to your land, to your backyard, to your house. But of course you won’t be home. Son and pappy [John Fury] are all show but no shows.”

Fury’s last competitive fight was on Tyson Fury’s undercard against Daniel Bocianski, but was on the undercard for Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji, against Rolly Lambert for an exhibition.
