Tommy Fury and Jake Paul were in talks for a rematchCredit: ReutersAnd it marks Netflix’s first move into live boxing following behind-the-scenes talks with Paul. The American, 27, revealed he initially wanted Fury – the only man to beat him in the ring – as the opponent for the inaugural streaming event. But Paul accused Fury, 24, of pricing himself out and forcing him to look in the direction of Iron Mike. He said on his podcast: “Most Valuable Promotions, me and (business partner) Nakisa, had been trying to find the right fight, the right timeframe, the right event.READ MORE IN b”And we knew we wanted to target this summer so we just started making calls.”We called Tommy Fury, was one of the names, and and he said no, he wanted more money. “And so now, and it’s all serendipitous, he’s probably punching the f***ing air now realising how big of a mistake he made, I mean, he’s an idiot.”Paul was beaten on a split-decision by Fury in Saudi Arabia last year but boasted of earning £25m while doing so.

The Baddest Man on The Planet retired in 2005 but did return in 2020 to draw over eight exhibition rounds with fellow great Roy Jones Jr. And after five months of talks, the deal was signed off. The exact rules and regulations, such as whether it will be sanctioned or an exhibition, are yet to be announced.
