Jake Paul Weighs In On Possibility Of Setting Another Date With Tommy Fury
KEY POINTS
- Jake Paul is moving on from Tommy Fury
- Paul won’t sue Fury for backing out
- Paul is favored to get another boxing win over Hasim Rachman Jr. on August 6
Jake Paul knows that time is money and knows that millions were lost when the rescheduled clash with British boxer Tommy Fury got canceled again.
Originally set for August 6, Fury failed to appear at a press conference last month set to kick off the pre-fight festivities.
Visa issues allegedly were the reason, but the YouTuber and his handlers decided to look for another opponent.
The replacement came in the person of Hasim Rahman Jr., someone who feels is a tougher opponent.
Paul is a 2-1 favorite to beat Rahman, according to the latest betting odds released.
The 31-year-old is coming off a TKO loss dealt by James McKenzie Morrison, the son of the late WBO heavyweight champion Tony Morrison last April 29.
Regardless, the internet sensation will have his hands full against the Baltimore native.
Beyond the Rahman fight, it cannot be denied that most will anticipate anew a potential third fight between Paul and Fury.
The 25-year-old stressed that he has "mixed feelings" about it and that it may depend on what kind of day it would be if he does decide to share the ring with the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
“I have mixed feelings about it,” Paul said as quoted by BoxingScene. “It sorta depends what day it is. Like some days I wake up I’m like, ‘I wanna knock him out.’ Some days I’m like, ‘He’s just gonna back out again and waste all my time and money.’”
Paul, who has yet to get an official explanation on the Fury pull-out, admitted that he could sue the Englishman for his actions. However, he would rather not go that route.
“No, no, I’m not that type of person,” Paul stated. “I believe in karma and I know that’ll come to him in some other form in his life.”
