The cruiserweight champion has openly challenged the YouTuber and has even offered him a title shot. However, Paul, who has remained silent, finally responded to his Latvian challenger.

Per Michael Benson, he said, “People are begging me for fights. Tommy begging me for fights, this guy Mario begging me for fights. I’ve seen the tattoo, but I don’t know who he is.”

Tommy Fury was booked against Jake Paul on December 18. However, as he suffered an injury and withdrew, ‘The Problem Child’ fought Tyron Woodley. Ahead of that fight, he showed disinterest in handing ‘TNT’ another opportunity to fight him.
