Despite almost agreeing to fight Tryon Woodley after he agreed to get ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo, Jake Paul says he wants to fight Fury next.
However in his interview with ‘Full Send’ podcast he said, “I think Tommy Fury is at the top of that list. He’s skilled, he’s undefeated, and he’s a real boxer.”
“He has like 4 million followers on Instagram which is good engagement. He has the fans from his relationship show. (Love Island)
“It all starts with the numbers, like would the fight sell a lot? Would people actually care? I could go and fight the infamous jiujitsu guy who doesn’t shut the f*** up on social media, but it’s a hard sell.
“This guy just beat a UFC hall of fame legendary striker, we’re not going to put him up against a jiujitsu guy in a boxing match.
“So after each fight, we go back to the drawing board and we’re like ‘who makes the most sense’ — can they actually sell pay-per-views? Can we sell this fight as like ‘this is a tough fight for Jake.’
