  • Jake Paul posted on X on Tuesday that one of his rivals had turned down $15m to fight him and branded them “daddy’s little boy”.
  • His claim came just a day after he announced he will be fighting former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on 19 December in Miami.
  • Tommy Fury responded to Paul’s post, claiming he was offered the fight in the US before stating it is “a place you know I can’t get to right now”.
  • Fury insisted he would take the fight “anywhere else in the world” on eight weeks’ notice.
  • Fury and Paul previously shared the ring in February 2023, with Fury winning a split decision, but a rematch is yet to take place.
