      ‘Beyond ridiculous’ – Tommy Fury slammed for rejecting ‘multiple offers’ from Jake Paul and faces losing out on rematch

      by

      TOMMY FURY has been slammed for turning down “multiple offers” to rematch Jake Paul – and faces losing out on the fight forever.Fury, 25, beat Paul, 28, via split-decision in 2023 and became the first and so far only man to hand the YouTuber-turned-boxer a loss.Jake Paul was beaten by Tommy Fury in 2023Credit: GettyTalk of a rematch has ensued ever since but Paul’s team claim Fury rejected a $6million (£4.5m) offer to do it on Netflix last year. The money could have risen to $8m (£6m) but now Fury risks forfeiting the mega-money fight all together. Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian told SunSport: “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.READ MORE IN BOXING”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.”Paul has won five times since the points loss in Saudi Arabia – most recently against Mike Tyson. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSTyson accepted the fight – in place of Fury – under controversial terms due to his age. He was 58 by the time he lost an eight-round decision to Paul – but still over 100 MILLION tuned in to watch on Netflix. Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul is ‘five times’ bigger than Tyson Fury boutFury meanwhile has fought just once since victory over Paul – beating the American’s arch rival KSI, 31, via disputed decision in October 2023.He underwent hand surgery afterwards and pulled out of his scheduled return in January after ex-UFC star Darren Till threatened to KICK him in the ring. Fury has always maintained he spent 2024 out injured nursing his busted hand – suffering a secret battle with depression while doing so. But Bidarian revealed that was not Fury’s reasoning for rejecting their offers to rematch Paul. He said: “That was never mentioned. They were turning it down because they wanted a lot more money.”The only place where Tommy Fury can make anything close to the numbers that Jake Paul offers Tommy Fury is to fight, KSI again.”That’s just being transparent and if that’s what he chooses to do, good for him, that’s not boxing, that’s, that’s a different form of the sport, as you know.Read More on The Sun”It’s not truly viewed as professional boxing but if that’s what he chooses to do, 100 per cent we understand.”But Jake’s at a point where he doesn’t need Tommy Fury to have his career continue to rise. Tommy Fury definitely needs Jake Paul.” Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson on pointsCredit: Reuters – USA Today SportsTommy Fury has not returned since beating KSI in October 2023Credit: Getty More

      FORMER Premier League referee Uriah Rennie has opened up about the rare condition that left him paralysed from the waist down.Once described as the “fittest” referee in England’s top division, the 65-year-old is now learning to walk again.Uriah Rennie has revealed he is learning to walk againCredit: GettyThe 65-year-old has been diagnosed with a rare neurological conditionCredit: AlamyAfter experiencing intense back pain while on holiday in Turkey last year, Rennie was admitted to Northern General Hospital in October.He told the BBC: “I thought I had just slept funny on a sun lounger, I was hoping to go paragliding but because of my backache I couldn’t go.”By the end of the holiday I couldn’t sleep a wink from the pain, and by the time I got home I could barely walk.”I spent a month laid on my back and another four months sitting in bed.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”They kept me in hospital until February, they found a nodule pushing on my spine and it was a rare neurological condition so it’s not something they can operate on.”I have had to learn to move all over again, I’m retraining my legs.”He continued: “It was strange – I went from running around the city to in essence being in traction for such a long time.”I didn’t have any previous back problems but quite suddenly I wasn’t able to move and was in a spinal unit.”Most read in FootballHaving been a magistrate in Sheffield since 1996 and campaigned for issues such as improving equality and inclusion in sport, Rennie was on the verge of starting a new role as Sheffield Hallam University chancellor when he first went into hospital.He now spends much of his time in physiotherapy and completing movement exercises at his home.Describing his current state of movement, he said: “I can move my feet and I can stand with a frame attached to my wheelchair but I need to work on my glutes.”I rock around in my chair doing my exercises, I’m a very good, compliant patient.”It has been frustrating but family and friends have been invaluable, the hospital was absolutely superb and the university has been exceptional.”Half a year on from his hospital admission, Rennie is now due to start his role as a university chancellor next month. And he is determined not to give up on walking again.He concluded: “Lots of people are in wheelchairs, but it doesn’t define them.”It has made me resilient and forceful and I will never give up – I’m not on my own, there is a village helping me.”I recognise how brittle things are in life now.”I don’t know if I am going to walk fully, but I know what I need to do to try and you must never give up hope.”Read More on The SunRennie made history in 1997 when he became the Premier League’s first black referee, officiating a match between Derby County and Wimbledon.He is also a kick-boxing and aikido expert.

      TIM SHERWOOD believes that Tottenham will stick with under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou.And the former Spurs boss, 56, reckons that a statue will be built of the Aussie if he can turn things around.Ange Postecoglou has come under intense pressure at TottenhamCredit: GettyTim Sherwood managed Spurs during the 2013-14 seasonCredit: Action Images – ReutersIt has been suggested that Postecoglou’s future may hinge on Tottenham’s Europa League fate, with the Lilywhites set to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals next week.Speaking exclusively to SunSport, via OLBG, Sherwood said of his former club: “There’s going to be a lot of pressure on everyone involved if they don’t win the Europa League, but that’s part and parcel of managing at a big club.”If you don’t get success, there is a chance that there might be a change. But genuinely, I don’t believe Daniel (Levy) wants to do it (sack Postecoglou), and I don’t think he will.”I would like to see Postecoglou stay at the club and get some more players in.READ MORE ON TOTTENHAM”I think he needs help in the transfer market, in recruitment. I think Daniel spends the money, but I think what they’re spending it on has not been fantastic.”Sherwood still reckons that there could be a STATUE of Postecoglou erected in North London, should Spurs win the Europa League.He added: “They were winning football matches and everyone was really encouraged going into this season and they did get crippled with a bad injury list, but they would like to have done better.”But I still believe they can win the Europa League. They can win it and they can go to the Champions League next season on the back of it and there will be a statue of Ange Postecoglou outside of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if he manages it.”Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKHow a statue of Ange Postecoglou could look outside Tottenham Hotspur StadiumPostecoglou himself has admitted that he may end up managing somewhere else next season.He said: “I know what my responsibilities are.

It doesn’t consume me. I’m here, I’m passionate about what we’re doing.”I was brought in to change the way the club plays, rejuvenate the squad, bring success, I’m focused on that. That’s what I’ll keep doing.”‘I DON’T THINK HE’LL SACK HIM’With Spurs going into tonight’s clash with Chelsea languishing in the bottom half, patience appears to be wearing thin – with Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola a contender to replace Postecoglou at the end of the season.But Sherwood would like to see his old side give Postecoglou a third campaign – and doesn’t believe that Daniel Levy, who sacked him in 2014 after coming sixth, will pull the trigger.The former England international said: “I don’t think Daniel Levy wants to sack Ange Postecoglou and I don’t think he will sack him.Read More on The Sun”I really don’t. I just think he appreciates what he’s brought to the club since last season.”I think he realises that it’s been a difficult year but there have been mitigating circumstances to why they haven’t picked up the results, but I would still say he thinks they should’ve done a bit better.”Sherwood, 56, knows what it’s like to work with Daniel LevyCredit: PA:Empics Sport More
