Jake Paul’s promoter has revealed that “The Problem Child” wants to avenge his loss to Tommy Fury when he returns to the ring in late 2026, following recovery from a double broken jaw suffered against Anthony Joshua earlier this month.
Paul’s clash with Joshua in Miami was the toughest of his career, ending in a sixth‑round knockout. The defeat leaves his professional record at 14 fights, with his promoter Nakisa Bidarian confirming that Fury remains the opponent Paul most wants to face next.
📊 Career Highlights
- 🎬 Began boxing in 2018 with a win over Deji Olatunji.
- 🥊 Beat Mike Tyson in November 2024 at AT&T Stadium, setting U.S. gate records outside Las Vegas.
- 📺 First fight streamed on Netflix, which later hosted his bout with Joshua.
🔥 The Fury Factor
Paul’s first loss came against Tommy Fury in a split decision:
- Fury threw nearly double the punches (302 vs 157).
- Landed more shots (88 vs 49).
- Paul scored a knockdown but lost 76–73 on two judges’ cards.
Bidarian admitted a Fury rematch might not deliver the same box office numbers as Tyson or Joshua, but stressed it would give Paul a realistic chance to rebuild confidence after his most comprehensive defeat.
🗣️ Promoter’s View
“Tommy Fury is a loss that he wants to avenge,” Bidarian told TMZ Sports. “There’s no need to rush, but that’s the fight he’s looking at.”
