JAKARTA - Jake Paul has announced that his fight with Tommy Fury has been canceled. He said his potential opponent was a coward.
But not even 24 hours after the news, Paul stated that he was ready to fight Tommy. In fact, he even offered Tommy some money to want to compete.
This offer is indicated as a ridicule to Tommy. Understandably, Jake Paul still considers the boxer from England to be afraid of him.
"I bet you (Tommy Fury) are scared kids who don't want to fight or understand business. I'll pay you 500 thousand dollars (Rp7.4 billion) to fight me in England. I'll do it as soon as August 6. Do you accept?" Jake Paul said on his social media quoted by the Daily Star.
Previously, Jake Paul and Tommy Furry were scheduled to play the match on August 6 at Madison Square Garden. However, the agenda failed to be held because Tommy could not attend a press conference ahead of the duel because his visa was denied entry to the United States.
Jake Paul later claimed Tommy Fury was not interested in fighting him out of fear, not because of visa issues.
"Fury received an cancellation notice. MVP did everything he could to help him and the team. He's not interested and really hiding," Jake tweeted.
"Twice in a row he resigned. Second time in a row I will go forward and face new opponents in a short time, August 6", he continued.
The cancellation of the fight against Tommy Fury left Jake Paul looking for another opponent. He will face Hasim Rahman Jr, the two-time world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, who famously beat Lennox Lewis.
Regarding the challenge that Paul again put forward, it seems that Tommy Fury is still not interested because the amount of money Paul has offered does not make him excited to go down to the arena.
I'm not going to get out of bed to fight you for 500 thousand dollars. Tell me when you're ready to have a serious conversation," said Tommy Fury.
