The social media personality Jake Paul might be growing as a boxer and turning some of his skeptics around, but his personality always keeps him in the limelight. Till now, he has achieved more than most would have expected from him since he stepped inside the ring. Recently, he was a part of the promotion of the biggest event in the history of women’s boxing in the Madison Square Garden, New York City.
However, everyone knows how keen ‘The Problem Child’ was to rumble with The Gypsy King’s brother Tommy Fury a few months ago. But just before the scheduled showdown, Tommy pulled out his name due to a broken rib and chest infection. It was a setback for Jake, as he had worked hard both for the fight and for promotions.

Recently, subsequent to the press conference in New York City, Jake Paul gave some conditions for a Tommy Fury rematch.
He said, “He needs to go fight on his brother’s undercard maybe gain some attention, gain some fans because people only know about him because of me and his girlfriend. So he needs to go fight on a Tyson Fury undercard, maybe get a knockout or something spectacular because right now, it just like, doesn’t make sense. I’m not giving him that payday yeah I’m gonna make him work for it because I’m cynical like that.”
‘The Problem child’ is no longer interested in fighting Tommy Fury. He knows that several opponents are knocking on his door to rumble and seems in no rush to renegotiate with Tommy.
