Jake Paul faced Mike Tyson earlier this month but it could have been Tommy Fury instead.

Fury is the only man to beat Paul in his professional career so far and the ‘The Problem Child has been chasing the rematch with him ever since.

But, it appears Tyson Fury’s brother is not as interested in the rematch as the American and Paul has claimed he turned down a substantial offer for the fight.

Paul took to social media claiming that Fury rejected $8 million (£6.3 million) to avoid facing him again.

He wrote: “Offered Fury $8M to fight on Netflix. He turned it down and now fighting an MMA fighter… Now tell me who is running? Stupid daddy controlled kid, protected from the inevitable.”

The tweet has since been deleted but not before it was posted elsewhere.
