A rematch between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury could happen soon. Even more, if Paul wins, the two could reportedly face each other for the third time to compete in an MMA match.
Paul is now preparing to face his next boxing match on March 2 in Puerto Rico, where he will meet Ryan Bourland. The bout was finalized after the YouTuber-turned-boxer defeated Andre August through a first-round knockout last December. And while he still has to win the upcoming fight, Paul is already being offered a new deal.
According to Nakisa Bidaria (via ESPN), Paul’s business partner, a deal was presented to Paul to box with Fury again. This is a huge opportunity for Paul since Fury is the lone boxer who left a loss mark on his record. The two first fought in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, in February last year, with Fury winning via a split decision despite being knocked down in the final round. This snapped Paul’s six-fight winning streak, albeit he made a remarkable bounce back after defeating Nate Diaz and August afterward.
The offer for the rematch is still pending, but the report claims it is complemented by an assurance of another fight in the MMA cage of PFL if an agreement is reached. This means Fury will be Paul’s first MMA opponent in case the deal is finalized, as “Problem Child” is expected to make his debut in the sport this year. PFL is also determined to push the MMA bout, with PFL chairman Donn Davis saying the promotion is willing to pay Fury $15 to $20 million for the two fights.
