Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury rematch confirmed as YouTuber explains why he lost

Jake Paul says Tommy Fury has already agreed to a rematch.

The pair's long-standing feud was finally settled last night in Saudi Arabia, after two earlier fights had been cancelled, with Fury winning by a split decision.

In reality, the judges' scorecards were closer than what the action in the ring suggested, with Fury appearing to win almost every round against the YouTuber.

Fury praised Paul afterward and said he would sign up for another bout, telling BT Sport Box Office: "This was my first main event. I'm only going to go stronger and bigger.

"If Jake wants a rematch then bring it on. Jake Paul was a proper warrior. He took some good shots and he's far better than I thought he was."

Paul said in response: "I felt flat, I got sick twice in this camp and injured my arm. It wasn’t my best performance, but I’m not making excuses and I’ll come back stronger.

“All respect to Tommy - he won. I deserve a rematch, I don't know if I agree with the judges."

Then, speaking at the post-fight press conference, Paul revealed Fury has agreed when being checking by medics to a rematch.

He said: "I just spoke to Tommy in the medical room and he said 'yeah, let's go. let's do it again'."
