Tommy Fury’s dad predicts when Jake Paul rematch will happen but reveals there have been NO talks since son’s win

JOHN FURY revealed there have been NO talks for his son Tommy to rematch Jake Paul.

Tommy edged the celebrity grudge match in Saudi Arabia by split-decision in February.

And Paul has maintained his desire to exercise his rematch clause to guarantee a second bout between the rivals.

Rumours circulated for a date in July but Tommy’s father and coach John predicted the fight WILL happen despite negotiations not yet surfacing.

He told The Express, via Free Bets: “It depends on what they want to do, but at the moment, Tommy’s put a hard training camp in.

“We spent 10 weeks in camps, one, two months ready. So, you know, it’s probably going to be later on in the year.

“I’ve not spoke to people connected to either, you know, so I think Jake Paul’s having a rest, just like we are, and his team and his people, we’ll be on it in due course.

“We’ve not spoken about anything yet.”

Tommy had vowed to bury his bitter feud with Paul in the Diriyah desert before continuing to build up his boxing record the hard way.

But after getting a taste of a mega-money payday, John wants his boy to cash in while he can.

John said: “I think at this moment in time conventional boxing will have to go on the backburner because boxing is a business, and you have to go where the money is.

“Whoever is a big name, who brings stuff to the table we’re interested in. Yep, we’re interested in KSI, he can have it next if he wants.

“We’re interested in the Salt Papi’s of the world, everybody with a name who thinks they can have a go, can have a go. Even with conventional boxing.

“If they want to pay the same sort of money as these guys are paying, we’ll do the conventional boxing as well, but, after where we’ve been you can’t really box at York Hall, can you?”
