Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury LIVE! Reaction after Fury wins grudge match (2024)

Carl Froch is certainly enjoying himself after Jake Paul’s defeat.

The pair exchanged insults in the build-up to last night’s bout, and it’s safe to say Froch is still very keen to get his shot at Paul. Both Pauls, in fact.

“I’m nine years retired, so who knows what would happen, I’ve not been in the boxing ring since in any capacity,” Froch told BonusCodeBets.

“But I’d make mincemeat of him, it’d be an easy fight. I’d smash him to bits inside two rounds, Jake Paul and Logan Paul on the same night would be interesting. I’d fight them both on the same night and they can tag each other.

“Or maybe get Logan on the undercard as we’ve not seen him for a while as a nice little warm up for me, a steady few rounds until I decide to knock him el sparko.

“And then I can fight his brother Jake on top of the bill as the main event and make mincemeat of him, what a night that would be.”

Safe to say Jake Paul isn’t particularly dwelling on his defeat.

He’s got plenty of reasons, millions of them in fact, not to be too upset with life right now.

Promoter Kalle Sauerland believes KSI vs Jake Paul remains an absolutely massive fight despite last night’s result, and he is confident that bout will take place later this year.

“It’s still the blockbuster fight of crossover boxing,” Sauerland told Sky Sports.

“It’s a fight I expect to take place. We’ve been in discussions before Sunday and we’ll see what happens now with the situation of the rematch.

“But KSI and our side have made it very clear we want that fight and I have no reason to believe that Jake Paul and his team don’t want that fight either.

“It’s a fight that will fill any stadium in the world, and a fight that I do believe will happen this year.”

KSI has had two fights with Jake’s brother Logan Paul, winning the rematch after the first bought was scored a draw.

Here’s more from an emotional Tommy Fury after his huge win last night, as he described having the “weight of the world” on his shoulders...

“The fight was amazing. Really good fight, really enjoyable, solid eight rounds in the bank,” said Fury.

“Jake was a tough kid. He took a lot of shots and was still there so credit to him.

“He didn’t have to take this fight, he could have fought anybody and a lot easier of challenges, but he wanted to test himself so I can respect that.

“Don’t forget, I am only 23 years old and I had the weight of the world on my shoulders tonight.

"My Mrs only gave birth three weeks ago, there was a hell of a lot going on and I am just glad I came out here with my team, my dad, and we are leaving with a win, we are leaving with a belt.

"It is just the best feeling in the world because over the last two and a half years, this is all that has consumed my life.

"Walking out in public 'you backed out of two fights, you're scared of Jake Paul, you are not a real fighter'.

"Tonight I showed everyone that I am not scared of anyone and I can cut it at the big dance.

"What can they say now? Me and Jake Paul fought in the ring and I came out as a winner."

Carl Froch has continued to goad Jake Paul on social media after last night’s defeat in Saudi Arabia.

Following another war of words between the pair earlier in the week, ‘The Cobra’ eviscerated Paul with a brutal post-fight assessment on BT Sport in which he called him “hapless”, “terrible” and “basic” and even thanked Fury for doing boxing purists a favour by “obliterating” and “whooping” the YouTuber.

Froch then continued that takedown on Instagram, where he gloated in a video: “Haha, Jake Paul - absolutely useless.

“You got embarrassed, you got whooped. What was that? I’ve never seen anything so bad in my life. That was terrible. Take up darts.”

Jake Paul has been back on Twitter after last night’s defeat with a message to all those young fans who have apparently been left crestfallen by the result, insisting he will return bigger and better.

“To all my young fans, I love you,” he said.

“Don’t be saddened by my loss. Life is full of ups and downs. You just have to learn from your failures and come back better. Hard work, hard work, hard work. I will be back.”

Macaulay Culkin, the actor of Home Alone and Richie Rich fame, certainly enjoyed watching last night's fight.

(What is a half birthday?)

Tyson Fury has described himself and Drake as “losers” after their bets on Tommy Fury’s fight with Jake Paul failed to come in.

“It was a brilliant fight, very entertaining,” Tyson Fury said to BT Sport Boxing of the encounter. “I’m very proud of Tommy. It was as big as any world title I’ve seen, it was one way then the other.

“I think Tommy boxed the head off him at times, and won 90% of the rounds, but it was still competitive at times also.

“[Jake Paul] was better than I thought he’d be, to be fair. It looks like Drake lost his money! 335 bags down the toilet! But let me tell you a secret - I lost mine too. I bet for the knockout. We are both losers!”

Tommy Fury threw and landed almost twice as many punches as Jake Paul.

Fury landed 49 of his 148 power shots thrown, with Paul landing just 24 from 79 attempts, with his reluctance to open up proving costly.

Paul’s jab was more accurate though, with a 32 percent hit rate, including 25 landed from 78 thrown.

Although Fury landed more still (38/154), despite his hit rate falling to 25 percent, showing his reliance on the power shots.

Jake Paul says Tommy Fury has already agreed to a rematch.

The YouTuber was convincingly beaten in Saudi Arabia, with Fury winning by split decision but had the upper hand in almost every round.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Paul revealed Fury agreed to go again while the pair were being checked by doctors.

He said: "I just spoke to Tommy in the medical room and he said 'yeah, let's go. let's do it again'."
