After falling off two times, the much-awaited grudge match between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul reached its conclusion on February 25. While the YouTuber-turned-prize fighter put on an impressive display, he couldn’t prevail over the younger brother of Tyson Fury. With a win against ‘The Problem Child’ in Diriyah Arena, the British fighter might move on to his next challenge. Fury, after proving his striking mettle, is also not short of challengers. Likewise, another possible rematch involving the two can’t be discarded. However, another challenge already knocked on his door when MMA fighter Dillon Danis, announced his intentions to ‘run it’ against him. Interestingly, the Bellator star’s challenge attracted the attention of the noted submission grappler, Gordon Ryan.

‘The King’ immediately pounced on the opportunity to mock the 29-year-old. Not only did he make a hilarious jibe, but he also compared it with a ‘crypto scam’. Thus, referencing the recent troubles, he is embroiled in. Earlier, the SBG Ireland product had sounded off Jake Paul as the result of his first career loss. Afterward, he set his eyes on the winner as his next potential opponent.

The comments were in reference to the recent accusations levied against the New Jersey native. Notably, Coffeezilla, a YouTuber, accused the American of accepting cash to promote cryptocurrency and NFT “scams” without due diligence.

The welterweight fighter is currently on a contract with Bellator. However, his steel cage appearances have become sporadic, and his engagements with boxing and grappling have taken a front seat.
