Jake Paul has plenty to focus on right now. In addition to helping the PFL with its promotion of Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira on Oct. 19 in Saudi Arabia, Paul is preparing himself for his highly anticipated boxing showdown with Mike Tyson on Nov. 15 in Dallas.

What comes next for “The Problem Child” in the aftermath of the Tyson fight is unknown. Will he try for another boxing match? Or will he finally look to make his PFL debut after signing with the promotion at the start of 2023?

The younger of the Paul brothers has found plenty of success in the boxing ring regardless of who has come his way — all except for one person: Tommy Fury.

Many have wondered when a rematch between the two will come, especially given Paul and Fury failed to come to terms on a rematch, and the Brit has fought just once since their initial encounter, defeating KSI in a highly lackluster outing in October 2023.

Though one might expect that Fury would pursue a rematch with Paul in the boxing ring, it appears he’s open to doing battle in the cage, too.

In a recent YouTube video, Fury showed off some of his time training alongside Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall.

Tommy Fury Calls Out Jake Paul For PFL Debut After Training With UFC Champion Tom Aspinall

In the video, Fury suggested that he is more than willing to cross over to MMA if it means getting his hands on Paul again.

“Jake Paul’s in the PFL, isn’t he?” Fury said. “I’m going to smash his face in when I get better at MMA. I’ll beat him in boxing, and in the cage. A big useless prick. I reckon a year-and-a-half to two years of training until I’ll beat him in a [MMA] fight. It’ll be no problem in the cage.

“He’s got the funds, he’s got the best trainers in the world, he’s got the best sparring in the world. So, he’s doing all right. But he’s no match for me. I swear to you, next time I fight him, I’ll knock him out.”

Paul has not responded to Fury’s remarks as of writing.

Since the loss to Fury, the Cleveland native has gone on to defeat Nate Diaz by decision and score knockouts against Andre August, Ryan Bourland, and Mike Perry.

Jake Paul Nate Diaz Boxing MMA

Undefeated professional boxer, Jake Paul has claimed talks for a matchup against former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz are progressing and rumbling along – as he also touts his ability ahead of his own expected mixed martial arts debut, following the recent inking of a deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters League).

Paul, who currently boasts an undefeated 6-0 professional boxing record, most recently featured atop a Showtime PPV event back in October of last year in Glendale, Arizona – defeating former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva in a unanimous decision effort.

Later this month, Paul, a native of Ohio is slated to headline a Riyadh, Saudi Arabia event against his fellow unbeaten puncher, Tommy Fury – the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury in a long-awaited grudge match between the polarizing pair.

Recently penning a multi-year deal with the PFL earlier this year, Paul, a highly-scrutinized social media influencer and YouTube star, has found himself linked with a professional boxing match against Diaz, amid his continued success in the squared circle.

Jake Paul claims a series of fight offers have been fielded to Nate Diaz

And as per the undefeated boxer, talks with Diaz and co are rumbling on positively, as he also believes he has a hugely bright future in the sport of mixed martial arts.

“We offered a two-fight deal to Nate Diaz, one for boxing and one for MMA,” Jake Paul told Daily Mail during a recent interview. “That could definitely happen and he could definitely be my first MMA opponent.”

“It would be diving into the deep end but, for some reason, I just feel as if I’m going to be really good at MMA,” Jake Paul explained. “I have the wrestling background, I have the better boxing than all of them, so I’ve really just got to learn the kicks and the takedown defense.” 

Yet to pen terms with an organization since his UFC departure last year – despite much speculation, Stockton fan-favorite, Diaz has yet to return to mixed martial arts since he submitted former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson in the main event of UFC 279 back in September of last year.

Tommy Fury refused to show up for a press conference between himself and Jake Paul. Fury and Paul are booked for a boxing in Saudi Arabia in just two weeks on February 26, and Tommy Fury recently no-showed a press appearance in the nation.

In an interview with MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin, the 23-year-old boxer explained why he chose to not show up. He said:

“I can clear that up in two seconds. Basically, Jake Paul signed up into the world of professional boxing and I am a professional athlete, a professional boxer. I always have been and [ask] any professional boxer and they’ll tell you this — no one breaks camp, mid to the end [of training camp] to fly all the way to Saudi Arabia, have a 10 minute press conference, fly all the way back to Manchester, complete my camp then fly all the way back to Saudi Arabia again the following week.”

To Tommy Fury, the timing of the press conference didn’t make much sense. He continued:

“Now why the press conference couldn’t wait until a week later on fight week is beyond me. Most big fights, they schedule press conferences on fight week. I don’t know what is going on there.”

Tommy Fury would rather spend time in the gym preparing for Jake Paul

Tommy Fury will be entering his match against the YouTuber with a perfect 8-0 record. ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul will also be putting his unblemished record on the line with a 6-0 professional career record to his name. On February 26, someone will take their first career loss.

Tommy Fury explained that he does not want to do a press conference when he could be in the gym getting ready. In the MMA Fighting Interview with MMA Fighting, he explained:

“I’m not interested in press conferences. I’m interested in completing my camp, which has been the best camp of my career and I’m ready to KO this man and get him out of the sport.”

With a knockout on his mind, Tommy Fury promises a victory over Jake Paul. He concluded with:

“We’re two weeks out. I’m ripped, I’m ready, I’m fit, I’m strong and I’ve got more in the tank than what it takes to beat Jake Paul. Don’t worry about that.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA Fighting]

Jake Paul, Tommy Fury

Jake Paul didn’t hold back when asked about his fight prediction against Tommy Fury. The 26-year-old is set to face Fury on Feb. 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. 

Paul didn’t take too kindly of Tommy Fury no-showing the press conference for their upcoming boxing fight. It was announced that Fury had a personal matter. The undefeated Paul labeled Fury as “unprofessional” for his absence. 

Jake Paul Says The Pressure is on Tommy Fury

Paul spoke with the media about his thoughts on Fury as a fighter. He believes his future opponent doesn’t have the experience to last in the ring with him. Fury has never fought an eight-round fight until Feb.26. 

Three to four rounds,” Paul said. “The kid’s never been tested. He’s never been in a hard fight. His combined record of opponents is 20 wins, 200 hundred losses. He’s never been eight rounds, he’s never been in there with a dog, and I have something to prove. I’ve got two chips on my shoulder. People say I’ve got a chip on my shoulder, I’ve got two of them.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

He’s been spoon-fed his whole entire life. Piggybacked off of his brother. Got into the business because that’s what he was supposed to do. Got famous off of some reality show and now he’s just riding the wave, trying to get a paycheck so that [Fury’s wife, influencer Molly-Mae Hague] isn’t the one making all the money in the relationship. But I’m going to show him on February 26 that this is the hurt business. He’s not going to like this sport after I’m done with him.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

Paul is 6-0 in his professional boxing career. He’s coming off a unanimous decision over MMA legend Anderson Silva. Fury holds a 8-0 record. He last beat Daniel Bocianski in London, England at Wembley Stadium last April.
