Jake Paul \u201cretires\u201d from boxing again as Tommy Fury rejects fight offer Instagram: tommyfury \/ YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube star Jake Paul has announced that he\u2019s \u201ctemporarily\u201d retiring from boxing as his attempts to schedule a fight with \u2018Love Island\u2019s\u2019 Tommy Fury go unresolved. Jake Paul is in the middle of transitioning from full-time YouTuber to full-time professional boxer\u2026 but he\u2019s taking a break until he gets the fight he wants. After getting his start on Vine and then hopping over to YouTube, Paul made his boxing debut against fellow YouTuber Deji Olatunji in 2018 on the undercard of his older brother\u2019s grudge match against rival influencer KSI. Following in the footsteps of his big bro, Jake also acquired his professional license a short while later and added his first win against YouTuber AnEsonGib. Since then, he\u2019s defeated a former NBA player, a former Olympic mixed martial artist, and, most recently, former five-time UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Jake Paul claims he\u2019s \u201cretiring\u201d from boxing as fight offer with Tommy Fury goes unresolved Hot off the heels of his latest victory, Jake is adamant about facing off with reality TV star and boxer Tommy Fury\u2026 but his offer toward his proposed opponent isn\u2019t going as planned. While Paul himself has scored multi-million dollar fights in the past, he\u2019s only ponying up a measly $1 million for Fury \u2014 an amount that Fury is brushing off until he gets some more cheddar to chew on. With a stalemate now happening between these two celebs, it seems like Paul is taking some time to rest easy and recover, saying in an October 5 Instagram post that he\u2019s temporarily \u201cretiring\u201d from the sport of boxing \u201cuntil further notice,\u201d since it seems \u201cone wants to fight me and signed the dotted line.\u201d View this post on Instagram This isn\u2019t the first time Paul has \u201cretired\u201d from boxing \u2014 in August, the influencer made a similar claim after Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson posted his fight with Woodley to Instagram\u2026 although he walked his \u201cretirement\u201d back a day later. Paul has also issued challenges to the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor to no avail. For now, it looks like Paul is taking it easy in Puerto Rico with his girlfriend until his coveted fight with Fury sorts itself out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
