JAKE Paul has sensationally claimed that a rematch with Tommy Fury will not happen because his old rival is “scared”.
The two met in Saudi Arabia in February this year, with professional boxer Fury emerging victorious.
Fury went on to beat KSI in October as he continued his foray into the influencer boxing game.
Paul, meanwhile, dispatched pro-fighter Andre August in their bout this month.
The social media star revealed that he would like a rematch with Fury but does not see it happening.
He took to X to post: “Had a call with Tommy and his dad John about a month ago.

“It was clear their main concern was money and not about actually getting the fight done.
“After offering him the largest guarantee on the biggest stage he’d ever receive they have gone silent.
“I smell fear. Real fighting man would jump at the chance to make his biggest payday ever and actually live up to his claim that he’s going to KO me.”
Fury meanwhile, appeared to call out Jake’s brother Logan in an interview with SportBible.

That’s led to speculation that the fight could happen.
Fury said: “If Logan Paul wants some, he can get some. I don’t even think about men like Logan Paul.
“I’m the type of guy to go down and fight Logan Paul after 20 pints of beer, he’s not a fighter.
‘”Jake on the other hand, he prepares well and he wants it. Logan is a wrestler, YouTuber and actor. Logan doesn’t want to fight me because he doesn’t want a death wish.”
