Rematch with Tommy Fury also features in latest market
Jake Paul's only defeat during his boxing career came up against Tommy Fury back in February 2023 with Fury the only real boxer that Paul has faced so far in his career.
Paul has been accused of "cherry-picking" his opponents by fighting people without real Boxing knowledge and strength but he came up against professional boxer Fury more than 18 months ago.
Fury won by split decision with the judges scoring the eight-round fight 74–75, 76–73, 76–73 and Paul may want to get revenge in a rematch.
Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson comfortably last time out
Earlier this month, Jake Paul face off against Mike Tyson over eight two-minute rounds with Paul a resounding winner on all three judges scorecards.
The judges scored the contest 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in favour of 27-year-old Paul against the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion and it looked exactly how the ages would suggest.
"I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt," Paul said after the bout with many suggesting that he backed off from his opponent after three rounds.
