Paul Wants The Fury Rematch, Open To Facing Diaz Again In MMA

Jake Paul has revealed that a rematch with Tommy Fury is on the cards. 

The ‘Problem Child’ suffered a split-decision loss in Saudi Arabia, as Fury walked out as the winner. Although that may have been the case, Paul did manage to put up a better-than-expected performance.

In a fight against his first professional boxer, Jake sent Fury to the canvas with his jab. And by going the distance, he did attain a moral victory.

That led to suggestions that there could be a rematch, as the victory was not all that decisive as it could have been. With that being said, Paul has hinted at a rematch.

“I think the Tommy rematch is going to happen at some point, I put him down on the canvas and lost a split decision. He caught me at my worst and kudos to him. I needed the loss, it put me on a new track of having this insane amount of motivation and just being super locked in.

“I wasn’t that locked in before and I was trying to cut corners, you just can’t do that in this sport. When you’re beating everyone, putting them down on the canvas, winning knockout of the year and making $10 to $20 million, you’re kind of like ‘Who’s going to beat me?’ and then you get beat,” Paul said

But that is not the only rematch that is being considered. Paul is also considering the prospect of a rematch with Nate Diaz.

During their boxing bout, Jake won via a unanimous decision against Diaz who was making his boxing debut.

In the aftermath of the fight, however, the boxer expressed his desire for a rematch in MMA. This was part of the wider deal that Jake had signed with the PFL. And by the looks of it, Jake is still serious about that. 

“I have the $10 million offer for Nate to go the PFL and fight me in the cage. Yeah I’m down and he seems to be about it, I think since I beat his as that he wants that get back. What happens when I go in and beat Nate at his own craft,” Paul
