Paul’s promotional partner has now claimed Fury rejected a potential rematch
Jake Paul’s promotional partner has revealed that Tommy Fury turned down ‘an unbelievable offer’ to rematch the American star.
Paul and Fury settled their differences inside the ring in Saudi Arabia back in February 2023 after an eight-round bout where the latter emerged victorious.
The highly-anticipated fight lived up to expectations and made waves across the boxing world – which eventually lead Fury to a fight with Paul’s rival KSI.
Fury won that bout in convincing fashion but is yet to step back into the ring, after pulling out of a fight against former UFC star Darren Till last year.
Now, Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian has revealed that Fury rejected ‘multiple offers’ to rematch against the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘Tommy was offered an unbelievable deal to headline versus Jake on Netflix and they had a false sense of expectations.

‘Jake’s not gonna ever offer him that kind of money again. Now if Tommy Fury showed up and said, ‘Jake, here is $20million to fight me and I’m gonna make $20million.’ Right, all the power to you.
‘But they’ve never made an offer once. And we’ve made multiple offers to try to make that rematch happen.
‘And if you’re very confident that you’re gonna be Jake Paul, you should have jumped at the opportunity to fight him for $6million plus upside on Netflix.
‘It’s just beyond ridiculous that they didn’t.’
Since fighting Fury in 2023, Paul has since gone on to have a five more professional fights and was all of them.
He defeated Nate Diaz by unanimous decision before securing TKO wins over Andre August, Ryan Bourland and Mike Perry. He then beat Mike Tyson via decision.
Meanwhile, reports recently have claimed that Fury will entered a return boxing with a possible rematch against KSI.
KSI’s manager Mams Taylor – the co-founder of Misfits – said that talks are now underway with Fury’s management over a potential return.

Speaking to The Sun, Taylor said: ‘Kalle’s speaking with Tommy’s team today. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on with that.
‘I’d love to see Tommy in a Misfits ring. Honestly, I think the fight between Darren and Tommy would have been fantastic to set up the winner of that against KSI down the line as well.
‘Darren I’m very big on. I think he’s an absolute pay-per-view star. And listen, there aren’t that many pay-per-view stars.’
