The long-standing rivalry between the younger Fury brother and the YouTuber-turned-boxer reached its crescendo in Saudi Arabia. Fury and Paul battled over eight rounds in a cruiserweight bout before the decision went to the judges. The judges awarded ‘TNT’ with a split decision victory marking the first career loss of ‘The Problem Child.’

What’s next for Jake Paul?

Jake Paul had a rematch clause in the bout contract for Tommy Fury. From the looks of it, the 26-year-old will look to exercise the clause. Considering it was a close fight and his first loss in his career, it should not be a surprise that Paul wants to run it back.

In the press conference that followed, ‘The Problem Child’ explicitly stated his intentions for the rematch. He said, “I’m gonna go back for this rematch, I just talked to Tommy in the medical room and he’s like let’s go, let’s do it again. He’s down for it, so I think that’ll be the focus first and foremost.”
