Jake Paul deletes immediate response to Tyson fury retiring from boxing
Share:
Jake Paul has hinted that he is preparing to announce a rematch with Tommy Fury in a deleted post about Tyson Fury’s retirement. The older Fury brother announced on Monday afternoon that he has hung up his gloves for good following his successive defeats by Oleksandr Usyk. "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," Fury said in a video uploaded to Instagram.
"I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it. I'm going to end with this: Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. Get up!". Not everyone is convinced that Fury truly intends to retire due to his history of going back on retirements in the past and the prospect of a money-spinning fight against Anthony Joshua on the cards. Nevertheless, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul took to X to share his thoughts on the announcement, before quickly deleting them.
“Well there goes the big announcement. Guess we need to refocus on the other Fury again,” he wrote. Paul is planning his next fight after overcoming a 58-year-old Mike Tyson in November and has promised an announcement this month. He has been called out by heavyweight Daniel Dubois, who knocked out Joshua in September, and light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, as well as Tommy Fury. The former Love Island contestant is the only person to have defeated Paul during his short boxing career and a rematch has been suggested for this year.
"Right, so I've 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,'' Fury said recently. "I've seen Jake tweet the other day about how he offered me x,y,z on Netflix. I just wanted to come on here and say that no one here is running from this fight.
