Paul VS Fury To Be Rescheduled In 2022

Tommy Fury could reschedule the Jake Paul fight early next year and will be a “different proposition” for the YouTube star, says promoter Frank Warren.

The unbeaten British fighter was forced to withdraw from his scheduled fight against Paul last weekend after suffering from a severe chest infection and a broken rib.

Paul instead knocked out Tyron Woodley in a rematch, but Tommy Fury’s promoter Frank Warren intends to rearrange a big clash between the British contender and the social media sensation.

“We will be looking to reschedule in early 2022,” Warren told Sky Sports.

“Jake said that Tommy Fury was ‘lucky’ he wasn’t in there but really Tommy was extremely unlucky to miss out with his injury.

“A fit Tommy Fury is a very different proposition to Tyron Woodley.”

Jake Paul referred to the Brit in his post-fight interview, saying: “Tommy Fury is lucky that he wasn’t in there tonight, because Tyron is way tougher. He has that experience.

“Tommy probably would have looked a lot worse than that [Woodley knockout] – and that was pretty bad.”

A big right hand had dropped Woodley face-first on the canvas in the sixth round as Paul extended his undefeated record to five victories.

“I got the highlight reel knockout setting up that shot because I knew he was going to try and catch the right hand coming straight, so I had to loop it around like a hook,” said Paul.
