'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.

Reactions to the death of Ozzy Osbourne
(Adds quotes from Aston Villa, Rod Stewart and Yungblud) LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) - Ozzy Osbourne, frontman of 1970s British heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has died at the age of 76, his family said on Tuesday. No cause of death was given but Osbourne revealed in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The illness made him unable to walk, and he performed his last concert on July 5 in Birmingham sitting on a black throne. Following are some reactions to his death: FAMILY STATEMENT, SIGNED BY WIFE SHARON AND HIS CHILDREN "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love." ROLLING STONES' RONNIE WOOD, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "I am so very sad to hear of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham." ELTON JOHN, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "So sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne passing away. He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods - a true legend. He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love." PARKINSON'S UK CHARITY, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "News of Ozzy Osbourne's death, so soon after his celebratory homecoming show, will come as a shock to so many. By speaking openly about both his diagnosis and life with Parkinson's, Ozzy and all his family helped so many families in the same situation. They normalised tough conversations and made others feel less alone with a condition that's on the rise and affecting more people every day." SINGER ALI CAMPBELL, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "The Prince of Darkness. A true Birmingham legend. The undisputed king of heavy metal. You didn't just shape a culture, you defined it. You led from the front and never looked back. My thoughts are with Sharon and the entire Osbourne family during this time." SHABANA MAHMOOD, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR BIRMINGHAM LADYWOOD, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "An honour to have celebrated the extraordinary life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne just weeks ago. Devastated to hear the news of his death today. One of the greatest gifts my city gave the world. My thoughts are with his family. In Ozzy's own words: Birmingham forever." ASTON VILLA FOOTBALL CLUB, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "Aston Villa Football Club is saddened to learn that world-renowned rockstar and Villan Ozzy Osbourne has passed away. Growing up in Aston, not far from Villa Park, Ozzy always held a special connection to the club and the community he came from." SINGER YUNGBLUD, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own... I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time." SINGER ROD STEWART, ON SOCIAL MEDIA "Bye, bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there - later rather than sooner." (Reporting by Catarina Demony; Editing by Rosalba O'Brien)

The 21-21-21 fitness rule that's creating a buzz
Kapil Sharma's dramatic weight-loss transformation may have stunned fans, but behind the scenes, it was the result of a steady, structured routine crafted by celebrity fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja. Bhateja recently revealed that the comedian's fitness journey followed the '21-21-21' rule. So, what exactly is the 21-21-21 rule, and how can you use it to kick-start your transformation? Let's break it down. What is the '21 21 21' rule The '21-21-21' rule is a structured, three-phased, 63-day fitness plan designed to promote weight loss. Each 21-day block targets a specific area — movement, mindful eating, and overcoming emotional dependencies — to build sustainable habits and prevent burnout. First 21 Days: Focus on movement - These initial days are all about getting the body moving — think light stretches, basic exercises, and PT routines from school days. The emphasis is on consistency, not intensity. - Bhateja explains in a YouTube channel, 'Go back 15-20 years, when schools used to conduct PT (physical training classes). Just do those exercises every day for 21 days, and you won't have to do any diet control or modification, eat jalebis as much as you want.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Man Intervenes as Child Jumps on Seats – Watch the Outcome Tips and Tricks Undo Next 21 Days: Modify your diet - Once movement becomes a habit, the focus shifts to small but meaningful dietary adjustments. - Bhateja advises, 'Keep a check on your diet. I am not saying cut your carbs, calories or anything else. This is not the right approach. Only modify your diet.' - Examples include drinking milk in the morning instead of at night to avoid acidity or gas, using less sugar or milk in tea, and controlling jaggery intake after meals. Final 21 Days: Control emotional dependencies - The last phase addresses emotional triggers and unhealthy habits such as excessive caffeine intake, alcohol, or smoking. 'Control your emotional dependency on any substances that do not give you any health benefits…' he explains. This isn't about strict elimination, but about cultivating self-control and awareness. By day 42, visible progress boosts motivation, and by day 63, habits become self‑sustaining These 62 days will help you build an attitude without any pain, because you focused on only 1 thing during each set of 21 days… After 63 days, you will see a good change in your body, and you won't need anyone to push yourself. This is what works best for beginners Yogesh Bhateja, a fitness coach Many clients have shown interest in Kapil Sharma's recent transformation, curious about the 21-21-21 method and whether it would work for them. Some even asked if they could start with this approach instead of the typical diet plans usually recommended by dietitians and nutritionists Muskan Soni, nutritionist Phase 1: Days 1–21 Ensure 6–7 hours of quality sleep each night. Begin your day with a protein-rich breakfast, especially if you usually skip it. Incorporate a brisk 20–30 minute walk into your routine. Opt for stairs instead of the lift or escalator whenever possible. Phase 2: Days 22–42 Reduce eating out to once every 7–15 days. Choose simple home-cooked dinners, such as dal-rice, khichdi, mixed dal cheela, or dosa. If indulging in a cheat meal, have it during the daytime rather than late-night gatherings. Phase 3: Days 43–63 Limit alcohol intake to once or twice a month. Enjoy your favourite dessert just once a month — minus the guilt. Switch from regular milk coffee to black coffee or green tea. If you love masala chai, try it with less milk and sugar, and reduce both quantity and frequency. (as suggested by nutritionist Muskan Soni)
