The YouTuber-turned-boxer sparked shockwaves across the boxing world with his harsh public criticism aimed at the biggest rival of his career, Tommy Fury.
Paul claimed that Tyson Fury’s younger brother refused a rematch offer worth a staggering $15 million. Tommy Fury remains the only man to have defeated Jake Paul in his professional boxing career, and a second fight between the two has always been one of the most highly anticipated events for fans worldwide.
According to Paul, the $15 million deal was proposed for a fight planned for early 2026 — the largest purse Tommy Fury has ever been offered in his career. Instead of accepting the life-changing payday and stepping back into the ring with his rival, Fury allegedly rejected the offer outright. This infuriated Paul, who lashed out publicly with mocking, angry comments.
Jake Paul insists he offered Fury an unprecedented payday
Paul blasted Fury for passing up what he described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, accusing him of being afraid of another defeat:
“He’s making $500,000 or $600,000 fighting nobodies. I offered him $15 million to fight me. The most he’s ever made is $6 million.”
Paul added that Fury’s refusal was the clearest sign of cowardice from the British boxer:
“He doesn’t want the rematch. It’s obvious. He turned down the biggest money of his life. He doesn’t want to face me.”
Paul’s comments have sparked heated debate across social media and boxing forums, putting Tommy Fury under intense public and media pressure regarding his decision to walk away from both a massive payday and a chance to avenge the biggest rivalry of his career.
