Jake Paul “retires” from boxing again as Tommy Fury rejects fight offer
YouTube star Jake Paul has announced that he’s “temporarily” retiring from boxing as his attempts to schedule a fight with ‘Love Island’s’ Tommy Fury go unresolved.
Jake Paul is in the middle of transitioning from full-time YouTuber to full-time professional boxer… but he’s taking a break until he gets the fight he wants.
After getting his start on Vine and then hopping over to YouTube, Paul made his boxing debut against fellow YouTuber Deji Olatunji in 2018 on the undercard of his older brother’s grudge match against rival influencer KSI.
Following in the footsteps of his big bro, Jake also acquired his professional license a short while later and added hisfirst win against YouTuber AnEsonGib.Since then, he’s defeateda former NBA player,aformer Olympic mixed martial artist,and, most recently, former five-timeUFC champ Tyron Woodley.
Jake Paul claims he’s “retiring” from boxing as fight offer with Tommy Fury goes unresolved
Hot off the heels of his latest victory, Jake is adamant about facing off with reality TV star and boxer Tommy Fury… but his offer toward his proposed opponent isn’t going as planned.
While Paul himself hasscored multi-million dollar fightsin the past, he’s onlyponying up a measly $1 million for Fury— an amount thatFury is brushing offuntil he gets some more cheddar to chew on.
With a stalemate now happening between these two celebs, it seems like Paul is taking some time to rest easy and recover, saying in an October 5 Instagram post that he’s temporarily “retiring” from the sport of boxing “until further notice,” since it seems “one wants to fight me and signed the dotted line.”
