'I would love to avenge the loss': Jake Paul eyes revenge as Tommy Fury hints at rematch within a year
Jake Paul
is still committed to avenging his sole career loss, and Tommy Fury has just added further fuel to the frenzy by announcing that a lucrative rematch may be on the cards in the next 12 months.
The longstanding animosity between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the undefeated British boxer is back in the limelight, with both teams making new remarks regarding facing each other for a second time.
Tommy Fury confident about inevitable
Jake Paul rematch
as tensions continue to escalate
Tommy Fury, who beat Jake Paul last year in a highly competitive bout, says a rematch is not only possible but is coming soon. The 26-year-old British boxer guested on Eddie Hall's The Good, The Bad & The Beast podcast and claimed that a rematch is "always going to be there" due to the unfinished business and huge public appetite surrounding their feud.
The two first met in February 2023 in Saudi Arabia, with Tommy Fury winning through split decision. The highly dramatic and hyped fight concluded with Jake Paul suffering his first career loss—a move he has categorically stated he "1000 percent" wishes to overturn.
Despite rumors earlier this year that Tommy Fury rejected several offers—including a rumored $6 million offer to fight Jake Paul on Netflix—Fury now claims to be willing to do the rematch, but only on his terms.

"There is just no way because I know what I am capable of. And when I fought him the first time, that was not 60 percent of what I am capable of. I think that fight will happen in the next 12 months. I will be ready for that fight.
And if he wants to try and change what happened the last time, he can try, but it ain't going to work," Fury said.
Jake Paul, for his part, isn't denying the possibility either. While preparing for his return to the ring this weekend against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.,
Paul acknowledged his interest: 'I would love to avenge the loss 1000 percent, but there are 15 people with massive names waiting to fight me, and also the goal is to become world champion. I won Knockout of the year, most fight, most watched fight ever. The only thing left to do in the sport is to become world champion.
'
Paul also claimed Tommy Fury had 'outpriced himself' and said, 'I'm the only thing that Tommy has. I don't need Tommy."
"Jake might have been more active than I recently, but you can't get better fighting 60-year-old men. I do not care who you are. At 60, you are not who you were. For him (Paul) to get better, he needs fights like he had with me. And I know if I fought him now, I would do the same thing to him. He has got the L. I am not chasing the fight. The only fight that matters is me. Everybody knows that. He has one loss on that record and that is to me," Fury needled, referencing Paul's previous opponent, 58-year-old Mike Tyson.
Fury made a point to say that he is only seeking "big fights" anymore and confirmed that Jake Paul is still one of the top contenders on his list. "What's next for me? I think the big fights are looming. I think they are always going to be there because history is there. I am getting used to fighting again. Whatever fight comes to be honest."

While Jake Paul prepares to return to the ring and Tommy Fury looks to fight his way into a headliner, the threat of a rematch hangs over them bigger than ever before. After their initial bout was already one of the most viewed boxing contests in recent years, a sequel is just what the sport—and its crossover audience—may be clamoring for. One thing is certain: both men have unfinished business, and the next 12 months could witness it being resolved in the ring again.

Saiyaara leaps to 62nd spot in all-time biggest Hindi hits, outpaces Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale, Salman Khan's Bodyguard and Prabhas's Salaar:Part 1- Ceasefire
Mohit Suri's directorial venture, Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become a box office sensation. The romantic drama has swiftly climbed to 62nd position among Hindi cinema's biggest hits, amassing Rs 153.25 crore in just six days. Saiyaara has surpassed major films like Dilwale, Bodyguard, and Salaar, driven by strong word-of-mouth and consistent weekday collections. In a stunning box office run, Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , has surged from the 84th to the 62nd position on the list of the biggest Hindi hits of Indian cinema within just 24 hours. With its 6-day total now standing at an impressive Rs 153.25 crore, the romantic drama has officially leapfrogged major Bollywood hits including Shah Rukh Khan 's Dilwale (Rs 148.42 Cr), Salman Khan 's Bodyguard (Rs 148.52 Cr), and even the high-profile Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1 (Rs 152.65 Cr). This unexpected climb reflects not just a growing word-of-mouth wave, but also the sharp rise in weekday collections that signal strong audience retention. After a thunderous Rs 21.5 crore opening on Friday, the film jumped to Rs 26 crore on Saturday, followed by a stellar Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday. While Monday usually sees a drop, Saiyaara held well with Rs 24 crore, and then bounced back on Tuesday to Rs 25 crore, showing a rare 4.17% jump mid-week. Wednesday's early estimate of Rs 21 crore sealed its entry into the Rs 150 crore club, and more crucially, into the elite list of top 65 Hindi films of all time. What's remarkable is how Saiyaara has managed to outperform films backed by massive star power and colossal budgets. While Dilwale (featuring SRK and Kajol) and Bodyguard (starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor ) came with pre-installed fanbases, Saiyaara has largely relied on emotional storytelling, soulful music, and fresh faces. Even Salaar, headlined by pan-India star Prabhas and made on a over Rs 200 crore budget, has now been overtaken in the Hindi domestic made more than Rs 400 crore across Hindi , Telugu and other languages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo With one more weekday and a second weekend ahead, many now believe Saiyaara could enter the top 50 club, possibly overtaking films like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2 and Bajirao Mastani to break into the Top 50. For Mohit Suri, this marks a career-high resurgence after a hiatus, and for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, it sets a dreamlike debut benchmark. The industry is taking note — not just of the numbers — but of the shift in audience preferences, where performance and content can now triumph over brand value and spectacle. As of now, Saiyaara stands tall at No. 62 — but it's clear this journey is far from over.
