He promised to bury the YouTuber-turned boxer’s career in the Diriyah desert and move on to bigger and better things.

But the allure of a money-spinning rematch or another all-celebrity boxing bout could be too good to turn down.

Here, SunSport runs down what could be next for Fury.

Jake Paul rematch

Paul, 26, has a rematch clause in his contract meaning there could be another chapter in his feud with Fury, 23.

He said: “We can run it back. I think we deserve that rematch.”

Fury added: “This is my first main event. If he wants a rematch, bring it on.”

KSI

Paul was finally meant to settle his drawn out score with the British YouTube, music and crossover boxing star.

But KSI, 29, warned if he lost to Fury, the bitter bout would be axed and he would turn his attention to the winner.

And Fury appears game as he said: “I’ll tell you now, if KSI wants to entertain a fight, he’s no Jake Paul. I’ll take that no problem.”

Logan Paul

The years of back and forth between Paul and Fury saw their family members dragged in, including brothers Tyson and Logan.

So Logan, 27, may fancy trying to avenge his little brother’s defeat.

Fury and his dad have both welcomed the bout before, with father John even claiming his son could fight Logan a WEEK after Jake.

Tyron Woodley

Fury last year held tentative talks to fight Woodley, who was twice beaten by Paul.

And the ex-UFC welterweight champion, 40, remains popular among fans, leading to calls for him to carry on boxing.

Woodley is a proven pay-per-view attraction, which could help muster interest in a fight with Fury.

Badou Jack

Before Fury’s win over Paul, in the co-feature Jack, 39, finished Ilunga Makabu, 35, in the 12th and final round to become WBC cruiserweight champion.

Interestingly, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed to SunSport that Fury would receive a ranking if he beat Paul.

Meaning, if he is placed within the top 15 during the WBC’s next committee meeting, it would pave the way for a shot at Jack’s belt.
