Jake Paul is chasing revenge over Tommy Fury in the wake of Anthony Joshua defeat

Paul vs Fury 2 is on the cards

Despite never winning a local, national, or international title, Jake Paul (12-2, 7 KO’s) has quickly become one of boxing's most prominent figures. 

‘The Problem Child’ has ruffled many feathers within the sport, but his success has only continued to trend upwards as his career continues. 

The 29-year-old last laced up against former heavyweight World champion Anthony Joshua. Managing to survive into the seventh round against AJ before a ferocious right hook left the American floored on the canvas, taking home a broken jaw as a keepsake. 

However, Most Valuable Promotions co-founder – and Paul's business partner – Nakisa Bidarian, has revealed that the internet personality-turned pay-per-view star is keen to step back into the squared circle sooner rather than later.

“He wants to prove to the world that he can beat Tommy Fury,” Bidarian told Sky Sports.

"Jake before Joshua had one loss on his record and that was Tommy Fury and I would love for that fight to happen because I think it's a great barometer of how far Jake has come.

"I don't think he [Fury] has developed as much as Jake has over the last three years. Because he hasn't been as focused on boxing.

"I would love for that fight to happen.

"He wants to come back. He's asking me to start negotiating some fights.

"I think anywhere from August to November you can expect Jake Paul to be back in the boxing ring. I want him to come to the UK and fight. That's what I would love to see,” Bidarian admitted.

"That's really going to be a part of the conversation. I would love for Jake Paul to come do a fight in the UK.

"I think he did well against Joshua, on four weeks' preparation for someone of that stature.”

Paul was touted to struggle to make it out of the first six minutes against Joshua, despite defat, his grit and determination must be admired. 

Bidarian stressed that Paul’s ego is by no means inflated, infact his recent showdown has motivated him more than ever to come back stronger.

"I think he realises he has a lot more work to do. Even as simple as cardio. His cardio, if it had held up he probably would have made it to eight rounds, but he ran out of gas and Joshua caught him. In a weird twist, I think losing to Joshua will help Jake Paul long-term.

"There was more internet interest in Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury in the UK than any Tyson Fury fight over the past five years, than any Jake Paul fight other than Mike Tyson over the past five years and that includes Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua. And that was a fight that happened in Saudi Arabia," Bidarian said.

"So if I could do that fight in the UK or somewhere in Europe, I think people would go bananas for it - the youth, the generation that uses the internet.

"It's difficult to come to someone's country and do that so we'll see where we end up on that discussion but I would love to do a fight in the UK with Jake. I think it would be a big statement."
