Tommy Fury gives update on Jake Paul rematch after Tyson Fury comments

Tommy Fury has promised that he will knock out Jake Paul should they have a rematch, with his split decision win on Sunday night fresh in the memory.

Fury beat Paul in Saudi Arabia last weekend, with his dominant performance rewarded on the judges' scorecards despite being knocked down in the final round. Paul has a rematch clause, which Furry confirmed his interest in accepting after the fight and has further fuelled this by revealing his plans to stop Paul in their next meeting.

The 23-year-old has appeared on Good Morning Britain this week following his return to the country and being reunited with his partner Molly-Mae Hague and their new-born daughter.

He told the ITV morning programme about his confidence ahead of a potential rematch, revealing that his sights were set on Paul rather than putting his new WBC cruiserweight ranking to use. He said: 'I'm ready to go out there and do a rematch, I owe that to myself. I believe in the rematch I'll definitely stop him.

'I've never been the eight rounds before so you're just a bit wary about what's in your tank and how the fight will go," he added. "But now I've been in the ring with him once I know what to expect."

Paul is the favourite to be Fury's next opponent, with an unlikely meeting with KSI also in the conversation after the YouTuber called out the pair in the wake of their fight. Fury's brother Tyson has even suggested that a fight with both Paul brothers, including Logan should be his next option.

While an announcement will be a long way off as both fighters recuperate, a date is likely to made before the end of this year with both expected to stay active if they are injury free.
