Tommy Fury accepts Jake Paul boxing match after 24 hour warning Instagram: Jake Paul, Tommy FryYouTube boxer Jake Paul issued a challenge to Tommy Fury, giving the Love Island star 24 hours to finally agree to a boxing match\u2026 and it looks like the Brit was up to the task. Jake Paul is gearing up for his next fight this August at Madison Square Garden, where he\u2019ll step in the ring on the same card as female boxing legend Amanda Serrano. However, his opponent still has yet to be determined after months of preparation\u2026 and time is counting down fast. In the weeks leading up to his match, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has been calling out huge names in the combat sports space \u2014 most recently, the UFC\u2019s Nate Diaz, who has asked to be released from his contract for a chance at boxing Paul. In between these talks, though, have been rumors that Paul will face off against Tommy Fury. The two were originally slated to face off last year, but Fury pulled out of the bout last-minute due to an injury, prompting Jake to take on former UFC champ Tyron Woodley for a rematch. Now, though, a bout with Tommy is looking far more likely. Paul challenged Fury in a pointed tweet on June 22 \u2014 a little over a month from his fight date \u2014 giving the British boxing star 24 hours to accept his offer. \u201cTommy Fury, you pulled out last year,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThen you agree to fight me now, but your dad is trying to pull you out again?\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve given you everything you asked for,\u201d he continued. \u201c$2M purse, VADA testing, Tampons. You have 24 hours to clear this up or I will never give you this opportunity again.\u201d Tommy Fury, you pulled out last year. Then you agree to fight me now but your dad is trying to pull you out again? We\u2019ve given you everything you asked for $2M purse \u2705 VADA testing \u2705 Tampon\u2019s \u2705You have 24 hours 2 clear this up or I will never give u this opportunity again \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 22, 2022 Paul was referencing recent statements made by Tommy\u2019s father, John Fury, who recently decried any talks of a fight between Paul and his son, calling the ordeal a \u201cpile of sh*t.\u201d That doesn\u2019t have fans convinced, though, as promoter Eddie Hearn claimed in a June interview that he\u2019d heard rumors of a Jake vs Fury fight happening \u201csoon.\u201d That\u2019s not all; Paul also uploaded a video calling out Tommy, claiming the British fighter wouldn\u2019t take the bout because John Fury couldn\u2019t be there with him in the States to coach him due to his criminal record. Tommy Fury and boxers like him are the reason this sport started to die. Tommy, you have 24 hours to fix this. pic.twitter.com\/JZFh6VAiGo \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 22, 2022 However, thirty minutes prior to Paul\u2019s oddly-timed video, Fury shot back with a definite reply: \u201cSee you August 6th, pal.\u201d Fury also hit back at Paul\u2019s callout video, confirming that their bout is on for the 6 and poking fun at Paul\u2019s comments about agreeing to drug testing. \u201cForget a team or any other bullsh*t,\u201d he hit back. \u201cI don\u2019t need anybody to help me lay you flat on that canvas. Oh, and thanks for finally signing the drug testing\u2026 you only agreed to it when you realized the fight was at risk \u2013 who needs who?\u201d It looks like this highly-anticipated bout is finally on, giving fans a rush of excitement as Paul takes on an opponent many have been calling for since his boxing debut back in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
