Tommy Fury laughs off Jake Paul\u2019s \u00a31m fight offer: \u201cGet your figures up\u201d Amanda Westcott for ShowtimeAlthough Jake Paul\u2019s next challenger certainly appears to be Tommy Fury, the two are yet to reach an agreement as the British boxing star has laughed off initial \u00a31m offers. Weeks removed from Paul\u2019s latest victory over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley and the speculation continues as to who he might face next. While various other MMA icons have put forward their own offers, the social media celebrity seems to have his sights on one name in particular. Following a brief scuffle at their last boxing event, Paul has since confirmed Fury is his next target. In fact, multiple bout agreements have already been sent to The Gypsy King\u2019s younger brother, according to Paul. Hours after these negotiations were made public, Fury has now taken to social media himself, issuing a response while laughing at Paul\u2019s offers. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dexerto\/status\/1432285178097979394 \u201cHe\u2019s come out and said I\u2019ve denied two offers to fight him,\u201d Fury addressed in a September 22 Instagram story. \u201cI have,\u201d he followed up, confirming that these offers were indeed real. But why exactly did he turn them down? For the rising 22-year-old boxing star, the offers from Paul\u2019s camp were not even worth \u201caddressing.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s come out and said that he wants to give me \u00a31m to fight him. I just want to say this\u2026 to everybody out there, a million pounds for a fight of this magnitude, it\u2019s not even worth getting out of bed for.\u201d Having taken a split-decision win over an accomplished MMA fighter, Paul\u2019s next challenge is to step in the ring with a certified boxer. As a result, there\u2019s more intrigue surrounding this clash than any other option at this stage, Fury stressed. \u201cThis fight is gonna gross millions and millions of pounds,\u201d he claimed. \u201cI can\u2019t walk down the street without anybody asking me \u2018when are you gonna fight Jake?’\u201d Tommy \u201cFury\u201d has denied 2 abundant offers from my team. Timmy \u201cFury\u201d\u2026. this is your last offer\u2026 $1 million, 8 rounds. 4x more than you have ever made. Either step up and fight OR accept that you and your Dad don\u2019t believe in you @tommytntfury. \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) September 21, 2021 For all the potential hype, a \u00a31m offer just isn\u2019t \u201cserious\u201d enough for Fury. \u201cIn boxing terms, a million pounds is nothing, especially for a fight of this size. He absolutely knows that I\u2019m never going to accept the fight for this money, hence why he\u2019s made this offer. \u201cTomorrow isn\u2019t soon enough to fight you,\u201d Fury added, clearly still eager to secure the highly anticipated Paul event. \u201cI can fight you whenever, it doesn\u2019t matter. Get your figures up and we can talk.\u201d View this post on Instagram Paul reportedly walked away with $2 million for his latest PPV clash against Woodley. The lowest earner on that card was none other than Fury, who claimed just $15,000 in his disclosed fight purse. While that figure obviously doesn\u2019t account for various bonuses and undisclosed earnings, \u00a31m appears to be a far cry from what Fury is seeking next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
