Jake Paul did the unthinkable when he managed to momentarily knock down Tommy Fury in the final round of their bout. The bout was thrilling for the spectators. But it was Fury who got his hands raised after the final bell. Meanwhile, Paul proved to the world that he could fight someone of the same caliber and age. The YouTuber turned boxer made a bold statement from his performance in Riyadh last Sunday. Praise poured in for Paul for going toe to toe with Tommy ‘TNT’.

While Eddie Hearn is pleased with Paul’s performance, he has some advice for the Ohio-based sensation on the rematch and his future boxing fights. The rematch for both the boxers is very probable, but Hearn believes that’s not something Paul should do for his interests.

Paul vs Fury rematch: Eddie Hearn’s thoughts

Jake Paul took no time after the fight to show his interest in the rematch against Tommy Fury. He said he wanted a rematch at the post-fight press conference. While fans were happy with the words of ‘the Problem Child,’ Hearn believes this is not the way for Paul, and he should do something else.

He said, “The rematch, I know people will watch it, but we’ve seen what they are, not very good… Fight KSI; it’s absolutely massive. Because the reality is any time you fight anyone with any ability, you will get beat.” Hearn is against the Paul vs Fury rematch and thinks Paul should choose KSI as his next opponent.

The British promoter thinks that it’s the ability that matters. According to Hearn, in the case of Paul, if he fights a real boxer, he will get beat. But some fans have come out in favor of a rematch and like to witness these two together in the ring again. Paul’s next move is unknown, and it would be interesting to see who he fights next. From the mega fight with ‘Tommy TNT,’ Paul took home a whopping $30 million.

Eddie Hearn has good words to share about Jake Paul

Hearn praised the YouTuber turned boxer for his performance in the ring against Tommy Fury. He said, “He’s got a heart and natural punching power. I think he’s tough.” He further added that Paul could get better. But, he thinks when Paul is put in front of someone with “any ability”, he stands no chance.

Hearn also applauded Paul for his promotional and marketing tactics. He thinks he has done well in the promotion of the sport. He called Paul “a professional boxer.” Hearn added that it’s not the end for Jake Paul, but he can’t be considered a serious contender.
