Jake Paul confirms he wants \u201creal boxer\u201d Tommy Fury for his next fight Instagram: Tommy Fury \/ YouTube: Full Send PodcastAfter months of turning him down, Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury could be on the cards. The YouTube star has confirmed as much on the Full Send podcast, saying Tyson Fury\u2019s younger brother is \u201cat the top of the list\u201d. Jake Paul\u2019s next opponent has been the question on everyone\u2019s lips since he took down Woodley via split decision. While a rematch has been touted, the YouTube star has set his sights on \u201cbigger and better things\u201d. If you\u2019re Tommy Fury, that\u2019s only good news. Fury has had his previous advances rejected by Paul. However, with Jake now itching to \u201cfight a real boxer,\u201d Tommy has moved up to the top of the list. \u201cI think Tommy Fury is at the top of that list. He\u2019s skilled, he\u2019s undefeated, and he\u2019s a real boxer,\u201d Paul said on the Full Send podcast. \u201cHe has like 4 million followers on Instagram which is good engagement. He has the fans from like his relationship show [Love Island].\u201d The potential engagement is a big drawcard to Jake Paul. There are two things he really evaluates heading into his next fight: Whether he can promote it, and whether he actually stands a chance. \u201cIt all starts with the numbers, like would the fight sell a lot? Would people actually care? I could go and fight the infamous jiujitsu guy who doesn\u2019t shut up on social media, but it\u2019s a hard sell. This guy just beat a UFC hall of fame striker, we\u2019re not going to put him up against a jiujitsu guy in a boxing match. \u201cAfter each fight, we go back to the drawing board and we\u2019re like \u2018who makes the most sense\u2019 \u2014 can they actually sell pay-per-views? Can we sell this fight as like \u2018this is a tough fight for Jake,’\u201d Paul explained. \u201cI\u2019ve been the favorite, so now I almost want to go into a fight where it\u2019s like \u2018there\u2019s no way he\u2019s going to do this.\u2019 \u201cI just want to keep proving people wrong because I could take a social media influencer and fight them right now and make a decent bag. It\u2019s just a tough sell because I did all of that.\u201d The related segment begins at 16:35. Jake Paul wants to keep his reputation as an undefeated fighter intact, and if he faces off against the 7-0 Tommy Fury, something will have to budge. Regardless of who he fights though, you can expect the hallmark \u201ctrolling\u201d Paul is known for to continue. \u201cAs long as I\u2019m having fun with it, trolling and making myself laugh and it\u2019s authentic to what I want to say and believe. I\u2019m not going to do something that gets myself killed, but also I\u2019ll toe that line and mess with these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
