JAKARTA Tommy Fury is confident that he will beat Jake Paul again if the two boxers meet again in the ring in a rematch.
The fighter, who has prospects in the lightweight heavyweight, managed to avoid a knockout defeat (KO) in the last round to win a split decision victory over Jake in Saudi Arabia, Monday, February 27 yesterday.
The two fighters had a rematch clause so their chances of dueling again were quite open. Tommy was also willing to fight this arch-enemy once again.
"Re-fight is something I really want because I'm sure in the rematch I'll stop it," said Tommy as quoted by Boxing Scene.
The victory over Jake has now secured a 9-0 (4 KO) winning record. Meanwhile, this defeat left Jake Paul suffering the first defeat in his career (6-1, 4 KO).
Their meeting in Saudi Arabia came after the schedule in the previous two years was canceled. Tommy withdrew in the first schedule in 2021 due to an injury while undergoing a training camp.
A year later, Tommy could not get into the ring against Jake after he was denied entry to the United States. However, after this victory he claimed to be more ready for Volume II duel.
"You know I've never had a fight before in eight rounds. However, I've had a ring with him, I know what's going to happen," said Tommy.
Previously, Tommy Fury's older brother, WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, also wanted to see his younger brother fight again with Paul. He even said that if possible, Tommy also needed to face Jake's older brother, Logan Paul.
"He did a fantastic job. Media around the world, the world's biggest stars, (all of them) came to see him. It was fantastic. I expected Tommy to hit his knockout," Tyson said.
"However, Jake is better than I thought, so it's a fair game for Jake Paul. (Tommy will) make headlines now and forever. I want to see him fight Jake Paul again and fight Logan, his brother," he added.
