Tommy Fury calls out Jake Paul after scrapping Darren Till fight over threat of ‘stupid MMA tactics’

Could we get a rematch between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul in the ring?

With [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] no longer fighting Darren Till, he’s turning to a familiar foe in hopes of meeting in the ring once again.

Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury, recently pulled out of his scheduled boxing match with Till after the former UFC title challenger threatened to use a head kick in their boxing match if he knew he was losing in the later rounds. Since the threat didn’t sit well with Fury, even if it might’ve not been serious, he withdrew from the fight.

“I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th, 2025,” Fury wrote on social media. “For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.”

So what’s next for Fury? That remains to be seen, but the idea of a rematch with [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] apparently sounds good to him. He made the callout in a video on social media.

“I just woke up and seen Logan Paul talk on his podcast yet again about how I don’t want to fight Jake and that I’m running scared. I’ve seen Jake tweeting the other day about how he offered me X, Y and Z on Netflix. I just want to say that no one’s running from that fight,” Fury said. “I beat you once already. I handed you your first loss. The minute you stepped up and fought a real boxer, you lost fair and square. I can give you a second loss, that’s not a problem, but let’s talk some serious numbers. If you want to get in touch, you know where I am.”

In response, Paul had this to say on X:

“What absolute muppet,” Paul wrote. “Buddy you just pulled out of a fight for the 3rd time. You have ZERO credibility.

“I offered you $8M dollars and you ran away from it. And now you got dumped by Molly, getting sued by DAZN and still can’t call a shot without your dad.

“GTFOH”

The lone defeat of Paul’s professional boxing career was the split decision to Fury in February 2023. Fury was the first true boxer Paul had faced up to that point as he’d only competed against influencers and former MMA fighters – Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva – before then.

Since then, Paul has fought and defeated a couple of unknown boxers, Nate Diaz, Mike Perry, and most recently 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a blockbuster event last month that streamed on Netflix. The legitimacy of the Tyson fight came into question after Paul admitted that he went easy on Tyson because of his age.

Tommy Fury says he has pulled out of Misfits Boxing match over Darren Till’s kick threats, Till responds

It appears Tommy Fury has pulled out of his boxing match against Darren Till.

It appears [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] has pulled out of his boxing match against [autotag]Darren Till[/autotag].

Fury (10-0) was scheduled to face Till (0-0) at a Misfits Boxing event Jan. 18 at Co-op Live in Manchester, United Kingdom. During their heated press conference, Till threatened to kick Fury in the head if he’s down on the scorecards during their fight.

And apparently Fury took his threat seriously?

“I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I am now not fighting Darren Till on Jan. 18 2025,” Fury wrote in an Instagram story. “For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules, and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.”

Till has been left baffled by Fury’s withdrawal. He claims the kicking threats were merely mental warfare and his attempt to sell the fight.

“For years the Furys have bullied people at press conferences,” Till said in a video on “X.” “Fury head butted people from Usyk’s team, he punched glass when he was fighting KSI, he’s tried to intimidate everyone, and it worked up until now. But as I said, it was never going to work with me, and I bullied them at the press conference.

“Now John was leaving the press conference saying they were pulling out because of my tactics that I was saying I was going to use. It’s all mental warfare, I don’t need to kick Tommy Fury in the head to beat him. I was going to absolutely box his head off and knock him flat out. You’s have showed you his true colors. Fighting family, my arse.”

An angry Till continued to rant, and turned his attention to Jake Paul.

“Tommy Fury u are the biggest sh*thouse I have ever met in my life do not ever call yourself a fighter again. I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head fighting family my ass you and ur dad sh*thouses. I don’t need to throw kicks you was getting knocked spark out you divvy. We was making bank on this fight because of me not you. I was building it. You should be fighting and should be thanking me… over and out… no one wants to fight me… Jake Paul what are you up to you big fat dummy?”

The two fighters, along with their teams, got into a skirmish during a press conference promoting their upcoming boxing match at Misfits & DAZN: X Series 20 on Jan. 18. Till, a former UFC title challenger, said he wasn’t threatened by the Furys, which began an escalation of words that ended in a chaotic scene.

You can watch it unfold in the videos below:

Till made his boxing debut in an exhibition bout in July and won by TKO in Round 2. Upon the bout’s conclusion, a brawl was sparked in the ring when opponent Mohammad Mutie and team took exception to a short fight-ending shot to the back of the head. Till was still named the victor.

Fury, the half-brother of boxing star Tyson Fury, first rose to fame during his time on reality TV series “Love Island.” He’s 10-0 in professional boxing, with notable wins over influencers KSI and Jake Paul.

Tommy Fury challenges Jake Paul to MMA fight after training with UFC champ Tom Aspinall

If Jake Paul needs a debut opponent in the PFL, a familiar foe is willing to step up.

If [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] needs a debut opponent in mixed martial arts, a familiar foe is willing to step up.

Paul intends to make his MMA debut after partnering with PFL. CEO Peter Murray expects “The Problem Child” to enter the cage in 2025.

Paul’s lone loss in boxing came by split decision to [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] in February 2023. Fury spent some time training MMA with UFC interim heavyweight champion [autotag]Tom Aspinall[/autotag] and would love nothing more than to beat Paul in MMA, too.

“Jake Paul’s in the PFL, isn’t he? I’m going to smash his face in when I get good at MMA,” Fury said on his YouTube channel. “I’ll beat him in boxing and the cage. Big useless prick. I reckon a year-and-a-half to two years of training until I’ll beat him in a fight, no problem, in the cage.

“He’s got the funds, he’s got the best trainers in the world, he’s got the best sparring in the world. So he’s doing all right. But no match for me. I swear to you, next time I fight him, I’ll knock him out. In MMA, I just want to give him a big fat (knee). All elbows, no fists.”

Since losing to Fury in the ring, Paul (10-1) rebounded with four consecutive wins, most recently a TKO of Mike Perry in July. He takes on 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson (50-6-2) on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Tommy Fury definitely in for the crossover fights, but will eventually ‘return to proper boxing’

Tommy Fury is committed to influencer boxing – for now.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] is committed to influencer boxing – for now.

Fury remained unbeaten when he defeated influencer KSI by majority decision less than two weeks ago in the main event of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card. His win came months after he edged out Jake Paul by split decision.

Although his recent results haven’t been his most impressive showings, Fury is content to keep competing in crossover fights for the time being.

“I’m definitely in for the crossover fights,” Fury told MMA Junkie. “I want to be a part of that. I want to keep doing massive events because financially, it’s great, and it’s great to be part of these massive events. But you know what? After it’s all said and done, I will return back to proper boxing and I’ll test myself against the best.”

Fury admitted his fight against KSI wasn’t the most entertaining, but put the blame on his opponent.

“It is what it is: One guy was there to fight and one guy was there to do star jumps and run around,” Fury said. “At the end of the day, it was what it was. It wasn’t much of a fight, which I was upset about because I wanted to put on a great show for the fans and all the other guy wanted to do is run around all night. I’ll give the fans a good show next time, don’t you worry about that. But we got the win (against KSI), and on to the next.”

Tommy Fury wants Conor McGregor next: ‘I’ll 100 percent share the ring with him’

All Conor McGregor has to do is say the word, and Tommy Fury would gladly fight the UFC star he admires.

[autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] doesn’t want to be confined to the Paul brothers and the KSIs of the world.

Having defeated arguably the two biggest influencer boxers in 2023, Fury would be interested in looking elsewhere for his next fight. Fury, the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is interested in fighting UFC star [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag].

“I’m at the head of the table now,” Fury told Fight Hub TV when asked about his standing in influencer boxing. “We’ll sit down with the whole team and address what’s next, but who says it has to be the Pauls? Who says it has to be KSI?

“I would love to share the ring with Conor McGregor, and if Conor wants it next, I’ll 100 percent share the ring with him. I’m a fan of Conor McGregor. I like him. He’s a good man who got me into UFC. If he wants to share the ring, my hand is there, the offer is there. I’ll have Conor next.”

Fury is coming off a majority decision win over KSI this past Saturday in the main event of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card, which went down at AO Arena in Manchester, England.

When asked about the co-main event of the card, which had Logan Paul defeating Dillon Danis by disqualification, Fury had nothing positive to say about Paul but did have good words for Danis.

“Logan Paul is absolutely useless,” Fury said. “Logan Paul was 10 times more useless than me tonight, and I was pretty useless tonight, but Logan Paul is sh*te. I thought Dillon Danis did a spectacular performance because at the end of the day, Danis has never done a fight before. (Logan) had just come off sharing the ring with Mayweather, juiced up to the gills. He can’t do the rounds, can he? He was f*cked from Round 2.

“I’m not interested in Logan Paul and his fight. I’m interested in mine. I came out with the W, and now I’m going to celebrate the win with my family.”

Tommy Fury says KSI boxing fight was ‘a horrible watch,’ but blames opponent

Tommy Fury calls his boxing match against KSI ‘a horrible watch,’ but says the blame should go elsewhere.

[autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] knows his fight with influencer [autotag]KSI[/autotag] was not good. It was far from it.

The professional boxer and reality T.V. star thinks his fight against KSI in the main event of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card was a bad display of boxing.

The bout took place Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, England. Fury won the fight by majority decision, as two judges scored the fight 57-56, while a third saw the fight as a draw.

“We knew it was going to be an awful fight,” Fury told Fight Hub TV. “My dad predicted this a week ago. He said it was going to be a very scrappy fight, it was going to be a horrible watch, and that’s exactly what it was.

“I’m not going to beat around the bush. Was it my best performance? No, very far from it, and it was a horrible watch. I haven’t watched it back yet. At the end of the day, what do you want it to be when just one man wants to hop up and down and not engage? In traditional boxing, you stand there and you fight. You don’t up and down the ring and jump in with a little shot. So it’s a scrappy, scrappy affair. Everyone knows what we’re doing. We all know KSI is awkward anyway. He’s not a boxer. He’s a horrible man to fight.”

[lawrence-related id=2688442,2688432]

Fury also had a point deducted for a shot in the back of the head. Fury thinks the referee favored his opponent, as KSI didn’t get a point deduction for clinching. He believes this didn’t help promote the action.

“Listen, the ref was on his side, clearly,” Fury said. “He never took a point off him the whole fight. He was holding the whole fight and every time I was putting my hands out like that, and he was holding. He was just jumping in with one shot and then holding. I was pressing all the time, and I was pushing and doing everything on the inside. I was pressing the pace and that’s what matters. KSI can’t just jump up and down and lunge in a shot and hold. What is that?

“… It is what it is. I came out with the W on my own town Manchester like I aid I would, and I thank Jesus Christ every single day for everything he gives me.”
