There is less than one month to go for the match between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury. The YouTuber-turned-Boxer will be itching to get his fists on Fury this time after unsuccessful attempts. However, Luke Rockhold thinks that might not be the case. He believes that Tommy Fury is likely to pull out from the fight against Jake Paul and he might want to go in search of other opponents to fight on February 25. Furthermore, the former UFC champion may already have a solution to the problem.

Luke Rockhold challenges Jake Paul to a fight if Tommy Fury pulls out

Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold recently appeared in an interview with journalist and YouTuber Schmo. He spoke about his career post-UFC and the different opportunities he is interested in. The former UFC champion said, “I asked for my freedom. To be able to go set the record straight with a lot of things and I’m ready to do so and they granted my wish. They said, “Go f*****g beat that motherf****r up.” I said, “Okay! I’ll do the job.””

Schmo asked who is he referring to. Rockhold replied, “All these motherf****rs. Especially one motherf****r with blonde hair and faking the game like he’s somebody. But we all know Jake [Paul]. You ain’t sh*t and we all know Tommy Fury ain’t gonna make it to the fight. So I might as well just skip around the gym and be ready to f****ng tap dance on that kid’s f**king face come February what is it? 25?”

Luke Rockhold has offered to be a replacement for Tommy Fury if he pulls out from the fight against Jake Paul. Moreover, it is confirmed when Schmo asked him this question and Rockhold replied, “Tommy Fury should just go and box Dillon Danis. That’s the pull-out match of all time. Anyway, I show up to the fights and do my thing.”

Furthermore, he added, “If you want to fight a middleweight, I got hands. We can do anything we want. I really don’t care. I’d beat that guy in my sleep.”
