Amid years of back and forth on social media, sending plenty of barbs at each other, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have tried to schedule a fight on two separate occasions now \u2013 but both have fallen through at the last minute. The first fight, which was supposed to happen at the end of 2021, was shelved due to an injury that Tommy picked up late in training camp. When a second date was rearranged, the Brit was unable to travel to the United States to take part in a pre-fight press conference with Jake. As both fights have been canceled due to problems on his part, Tommy\u2019s camp has stated that they\u2019re \u201cunsure\u201d if a fight will ever happen at this point, but the Brit is convinced he and Jake have to fight at some point. Tommy Fury still wants Jake Paul fight The undefeated heavyweight was quizzed about the rivalry by VIPBoxingPromotions, as he told the YouTube channel that things are \u201ctoo far gone\u201d for a fight between the pair to not happen. \u201cIn this game, you need a good dance partner and I can\u2019t say it any fairer than this, I will fight you in any single place in this world,\u201d Tommy said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to come to England, I\u2019ll fight you in Canada next to America, I\u2019m not bothered.\u201d The 23-year-old stated that his team are trying to \u201csort out\u201d his travel troubles so that he can enter the United States, and that\u2019s why he\u2019s still leaving it on the table as an option. Timestamp of 3:00 \u201cHopefully we can get it resolved and I can go to America and fight him, but if I can\u2019t, I\u2019ll fight him anywhere else in the world. I can\u2019t say it fairer than that. What more can I say? I\u2019ll fight him anywhere else on the planet, you pick, not bothered and I\u2019ll be there,\u201d he added, putting the onus on Jake. As we\u2019ve seen, the YouTuber-turned-boxer isn\u2019t fighting this summer, but there have been talks about a fight in October. Though, who knows who that would be against. Jake has also agreed to fight KSI at some point in 2023, which would put an end to their longtime feud. So, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if he\u2019ll settle two scores in quick succession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy Fury still desperate to fight Jake Paul: \u201cYou pick the place\u201d YouTube: VIPBoxingPromotions\/Jake PaulTommy Fury believes that a fight between himself and Jake Paul has to happen, and he\u2019s willing to fight anywhere in the world so that they can settle their score.
