However, Fury has a chance to face Paul but will have to agree to a new stipulation from Paul if he wishes to face him in the future.
Jake Paul adds a new clause for a future fight with Fury
Paul made an appearance on ESPN ahead of his fight on August 6th and stated that he will add a new clause in which Fury will have to keep $500,000 in escrow if he wanted to fight Paul.
“For the next fight, if we do fight, I’m putting in a clause where he has to put $500,000 into escrow and If he doesn’t do the fight, then I automatically get the money,” said Paul.
The Problem Child also stated that he is sick of Fury pulling out every time a fight is booked and that he is wasting his time. “I’m sick of him wasting my time, he’s wasting my team’s time. I have a staff of 25 people that I feed you know and he’s wasting all of our time and it’s annoying. We’re sick of it,” Paul added.

Paul’s frustration is seemingly justified as it is the second time that Fury is pulling out of the fight and with all the drama leading up to this point, it is certainly disappointing for Paul.

Who is Fury’s Replacement, Hasim Rahman Jr?
Rahman junior is the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman who is known for beating boxing legend Lennox Lewis. The American boxer has a record of 12-1 wins over Nathan Bedwell and Steven Tyner. He made his debut in 2017 against Ralph Alexander, knocking him out in the first round. Moreover, he suffered the only loss of his career earlier this year after he was knocked out by James Morrison.

Truly, this will be Paul’s toughest challenge yet. The Problem Child will be putting his undefeated record of 5-0 on the line against the heavyweight boxer who is the favorite to win the fight. However, if Paul manages to beat him, it will further boost the trajectory of Paul’s boxing career.
