    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

    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.

    KSI

    And it could hamper their supposed plans to finally fight in December, after KSI warned he would fight Fury should the Brit win.

    Mike Perry
    The former UFC fighter-turned bare-knuckle boxer, 31, was the back-up if Fury pulled out again, following his two prior withdrawals.
    There was even rumours of a two-fight deal in boxing and MMA after Paul signed for the UFC’s rivals PFL.
    If Paul is looking for a suitable style match-up to build back, Perry’s stand and brawl tendencies could make him a smart choice.

    And although he will be delighted with the result, Tommy did let him down.
    That is because Fury backed his brother to stop YouTuber Paul before the final bell, which he failed to do.
    Ahead of the clash the Brit revealed he had staked a large wager on Tommy delivering a KO.
    He told iFL TV: “Tommy knocks out 90 per cent of people that he spars with or drops them at least, so he’s a very hard puncher and Jake Paul will find that out tomorrow.

    “I’ve got 100 racks on it for an inside the distance stoppage, so if he loses, then I’ll lose 100 bags as well. I’ve got him at 3-1. I know Tommy is going to knock him out.
    “What is a little bit stupid is I see all these experts and professional boxers picking Jake Paul over Tommy. I’m like, ‘What the hell are these guys watching?’.
    “Because Tommy will absolutely deck him. I think Tommy can get him out of there whenever really. It’ll definitely be inside the distance and it won’t be a points job for sure. Tommy wins by knockout.
    “I can smell the fear and he [Jake] is rattling. He is rattling like a little b**** and he is going to get knocked out.”

    In terms of betting he has dabbled in plenty of sports, he recently put thousands on Barcelona to beat Real Madrid and even sponsored Barca’s shirt for the game but they lost.
    He also joined billions from around the world in watching last November-December’s World Cup.
