Tommy Fury has taken to social media to criticize Jake Paul’s recent callout of Anthony Joshua, asserting that the proposed fight is not worth anyone’s time. Fury, the only fighter to have defeated Paul, did not hold back in his remarks, reminding fans of their previous bout where he emerged victorious despite competing with a broken hand.
In a video posted on March 26, 2025, Fury expressed his disbelief at the notion of Paul challenging Joshua. "Good morning, guys, just wanted to give a little opinion on everything I have been seeing on social media lately," he began. "Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, just wanted to come on here and remind everyone that that bum couldn't beat me when I basically had a broken hand. I had one hand, and he still lost. Jake Paul, I'm still your daddy and everybody weighing this fight up, don't bother because it ain't worth a shilling. And the loss will always be there Mr. Paul. Take it easy and have a good day."
This heated response comes as Paul, who boasts an 11-1 professional record, has been on a five-fight winning streak since his defeat to Fury in February 2023. His most notable victory during this stretch was against 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson in November 2024. Following that win, Paul has set his sights on a potential matchup with two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in 2026, boldly stating, "I want to fight Anthony Joshua - exclusive - because I know I will fing beat Anthony Joshua's ass. He doesn't have a chin, and he has no skill and he's stiff. I love you Anthony, we’re friends, all this s but I want to fight you."
Paul’s comments have sparked significant buzz on social media, with many fans eager to see how a fight between him and Joshua would unfold. Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has indicated that such a bout could generate around £100 million and potentially break pay-per-view records. Despite the financial allure, Fury remains skeptical of the fight's legitimacy, suggesting that Paul’s previous loss to him discredits his current ambitions.
Fury, who last fought in October 2023 against KSI, has been recovering from a hand injury that required surgery last year. He has expressed that he is now in peak condition, stating, "I'm in the best shape of my life, fit and ready to go. Got some really big fight news on the way for you guys... Stay tuned!" However, his return to the ring has faced delays, including a planned fight against Darren Till in January 2025, which he pulled out of after Till threatened to break the rules by kicking him in the head.
While Tommy Fury continues to train and prepare for his next fight, Jake Paul’s trajectory in boxing remains a topic of heated discussions. With Paul’s recent successes and bold statements, the boxing community is abuzz with speculation about the potential clash between him and Joshua. However, Fury's remarks serve as a reminder of the competitive landscape and the challenges that both fighters face.
As the boxing world watches closely, the question remains: will Jake Paul truly step into the ring with Anthony Joshua, or will he pivot to a rematch with Fury, who has made it clear that he is ready for a return? Paul has hinted at ongoing discussions for a rematch with Fury, stating, "Definitely that's on the docket and those conversations have been going on for quite some time. I think it is gonna happen when it makes sense for everyone, but for sure it's gonna happen."
Fury's confidence and readiness to fight could further complicate Paul's plans as he navigates his next steps in the sport. Fans are left eagerly anticipating announcements from both fighters, as the landscape of boxing continues to evolve with new rivalries and potential matchups.
In a sport where every fight can change a fighter’s trajectory, the stakes are high, and both Tommy Fury and Jake Paul are keenly aware of the implications their decisions carry. As they prepare for what lies ahead, the boxing community remains on edge, waiting to see how this rivalry will unfold.
