Tommy Fury: “For the past two years, this is all that has consumed my life. Broken rib. Denied access. Everybody thought I was running scared. Tonight, I made my own legacy. I am Tommy Fury. All through these past two years, I had a dream and a vision that I would win this fight. And no one believed me. Now I can stand up and everybody can take note. It’s my first main event at 23 years old. I had pressure on my shoulders, and I came through…I’m only going to get stronger, and I’m only going to get bigger. There were a lot of nerves going into that fight, but I override that. If he wants a rematch, bring it on.”
Jake Paul: “All respect to Tommy. He won. Don’t judge me by my wins. Judge me by my losses. I’ll come back. I think we deserve that rematch. It was a great fight. It was a close fight. I don’t know if I agree with the judges. I got a 10-8 round twice. So, it is what it is. I’ve already won in life, man. I’ve already won in every single way. I have an amazing family. Amazing friends. Amazing work ethic. I’ve made it farther than I ever thought I would.”
No big deal Paul. Take a week off for every round you were scheduled. Then comeback even better.
Take a day off for every round. Not a week for every round. Siri voice text mistakes
What a delusional clown you just beat a green YouTuber & you’re talking about your legacy ..
Fury’s eight professional opponents had a combined 24-176-5 record when they faced Fury, with almost every one of those opponents operating as a “professional opponent,” with careers that revolve around losing to fighters viewed as prospects of varying degrees.
He had better go back to the Disney Channel.

The rematch I would like….Matias vs Ponce two top 10 fighters had only a handful of comments yesterday it was a jem and fight of the year candidate. Over 60 comments and houndreds of replies and likes for this fight. Sad indeed.
True but Ponce quit on his stool like a chump
sure, why not…but it seems Jake Paul will need to improve, if the outcome is to be any different
tommy fury is just another caleb plant
shopping cart
Lol
Calendar Plant is a world class boxer. And easily a top 10 super middleweight
After he loses to david benavidez the plant man will retire!! Caleb plant is a average fighter not a world class!!
his not a top 10 maybe top 20
Caleb has skills idiot!
Keep shopping and stay off of this site. You and you little homeless shopping cart.
Jake Paul did what many others couldn’t and he made good money and he put the two best women boxers on a huge platform.
Not sure it will have the same draw. I do believe the Jake Paul train has been fully exposed.
Ya Jake Paul said he was going to fight me next I’m a star on you tube
you are a clown!
jake paul has been exposed he has no business in with experienced fighters he will lose again if he tries another fight with fury
Agree Mr.CEO. Also he was trying to fast track it with no boxing experience. He would need to start from the beginning. Hard to do in silk pijamas.
Notice how all the fighters and commentators and everyone who was interviewed had to say the same mantra: “Thank you Prince Khaled”, and about how Saudi Arabia is such a wonderful place.
People there live in a culture of fear, where you can literally have your head chopped off for saying the wrong thing.
I think that’s part of the reason everything seemed so fake, and the commentators seemed unnaturally biased towards certain fighters, like making the Middle Eastern fighters seem like they were all the next big up and coming superstars when they were fighting empty trash bags.
Then they made Jake Paul seem like he was the next Muhammad Ali even as he was getting totally outclassed.
Not to say anyone had threatened to behead Shawn Porter if he didn’t praise the local fighters + JP, but nothing about this event seemed genuine. The whole thing was an informercial for the Jake Paul brand, and the Saudi promotion made sure everyone stayed on script.
They’re not giving all that money away for nothing.
I prefer to keep it boxing and stay away from the political side of the sport. I enjoy it better this way.
Fury’s “legacy” eh ? ?
I don’t know why boxing fans and boxers are mad at Jake Paul. He’s actually making boxing more mainstream. Jake has a following and boxers with personality and the style to back it up should be asking to be on his show for more exposure. On Sunday, I know a dude who never watches boxing mentioned “a boxing match” was taking place yesterday. That’s when I was able to appreciate Jake Paul. Like him or not he brings more eyes to sports.
Folks think Fury is ridiculous for bragging about beating a Youtuber. It’s called marketing/hyping up the rematch. This may be Fury’s biggest pay day so he should capitalize on it. I certainly would.
We’re not mad at Paul, we’re mad at the fact of him. Boxing is a great enough sport that if it was run correctly (i.e. proper structure with best fighting the best) we wouldn’t need gimmicks to “bring eyes to the sport”.
You have no vision and obviously don’t follow sports & trends. The average person living in the states knows absolutely nothing about boxing nor do they have an interest. “Gimmicks” are always needed to bring more eyes to the sport especially now. Canelo is supposed to be the face of boxing, but I can find several people who have no idea who he is. He has no personality, character or gimmick. He is obviously well-known in boxing circles and gets love or hate from boxing fans, but no one cares outside that circle. The last truly successful “gimmick” in boxing was Floyd “MONEY” Mayweather. His character was basically the million-dollar man Ted Dibiase. Everyone hated him because he had money, and he didn’t mind flashing it. He wasn’t the most exciting nor had the best personality, but he made most people believe in his gimmick to the point of them making foolish decisions and betting top dollars to see him lose (I was the recipient many times of their foolish bets). He was mainstream and brought new eyes to the sport (via Dance with the Stars, WWE stint, and his gimmick). Who in boxing gets more hate than Jake Paul? All boxers and MMA fighters hate him, but they all watch. He brings his social media followers to the sport which is exposure the sport would NEVER get otherwise. If you don’t believe me, ask a random stranger if they know who Canelo Alverez or Jake Paul is and provide a photo. I guarantee you most will recognize Jake Paul. Can you imagine the attention a guy like Prince Naseem Hamed could bring to the sport with his gimmick, personality, and showmanship if social media were around at that time?
That was a lot of words to completely talk past my point.
Literally, the first thing I addressed was your thoughts about “gimmicks.” The “point” you were making is that boxing didn’t need “gimmicks” to bring in new eyes and I literally stated why I beg to differ with examples. That’s why reading is fundamental. I will keep my answers shorter so that you can follow along.
I wrote boxing *wouldn’t* need gimmicks if it was run correctly, which it currently isn’t. Reading is indeed fundamental, better luck next time.
Daniel got you HawnJay. You ran right into that punch.
Bravo.
Jake Paul has done amazing things in his short time boxing, but the fact is, he lost to a fellow novice with limited skill. Tommy Fury has somewhat of a name because of his brother, so the fight garnered a little more interest than it should have. What’s going to happen when Paul loses to no name Billy from South Dakota with a 9-3 record? I don’t know if Paul is going to exercize his rematch clause (is there one?) but reality will set in big time if he chooses to fight actual fighters and build his career. there would be no reason for it.
I’m with you. Watching Jake Paul fights is kind of like watching the accountant from the second floor getting in the ring with the marketing guy from the third floor because they’re pissed at each other about budgets… haha
I do not think we need a rematch. It was a well promoted fight but to me the fight was not close. I feel that way about Canelo and Bivol. Of course that is a higher level fight by far but it still was not close imo and nothing happened in that fight or this one to make me yearn to see it again. I will watch as I love this sport but I would rather in both cases the parties fight someone else. Some people criticized Fury for getting emotional but I can understand it. It cannot be easy having Tyson Fury as your big brother. Regardless of what level Tommy and Jake are at this was a big stage. If Tommy had lost it would have been a tough pill to swallow. There was a lot of pressure on this young man. Pressure at a level most of will never experience.
What amazes me most about this fight is the amount of money they were paid. Some real boxers would be lucky to make that after years of being in the fight game.
What a joke of a contest between 2 nothing boxers(?)
There was no loser, here. Both guys did a great job.
Jake Paul, a Youtuber, PROVED he deserves to have his boxing match.
Tommy Fury proved that even though he is not his brother, he too has heart, ability, and can box.
Neither guy is a top crusierweight, Neither guy will rise to that level. But, they are both true professionals. Just, not at the elite level. Or even the top 200.
Don’t think even their mothers would be interested in that remath.
What a joke,,,,a ranking,,,a make believe belt,,,,how farcical boxing has become!
I’M GLAD HE WHIPPED JAKE PAUL’S ASS… HE TALKS TO MUCH
Of course you want a rematch, why would you go fight legitimate fighters at 200lb and get smashed when you ou can have another crack at a YouTuber with 2 years training.? This sham will drive PPV to be driven and sold by the hype and build up, NOT the calibre of fighting…….
