Tommy Fury offers to fight Jake Paul NEXT after October announcement – but YouTuber is not impressed

TOMMY FURY has offered to fight Jake Paul later this year… but the American is not impressed.

The rivals have twice been booked to fight each other in the last nine months, only to see both dates fall through.

Tommy Fury hasn’t given up on fighting Jake Paul

The Problem Child wants to fight at 185lbs in October

Fury, 23, pulled out of the first bout with injury – with Paul subsequently beating Tyron Woodley for a second time instead.

While TNT missed their scheduled Madison Square Garden date earlier this month due to visa issues.

Paul, 25, booked Hasim Rahman Jr as Fury’s replacement – only for the entire date to fall through due to his opponent’s weight concerns.

The Problem Child appears to have moved on to other potential opponents, with Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva both having been mooted.

Tommy still hasn’t given up, however, and has again called Paul out on Instagram.

He said: “A certain somebody can’t keep my name out their mouth.

“He’s got me in his Instagram bio, he’s doing tweets about me and he’s even put Amanda Serrano on the Joe Joyce and Joe Parker bill next month in Manchester knowing full well that I’ll be there.

“I see he’s put out there that he’ll be fighting in October at 185lbs.

“I’ve already been training. I am f***ing ready for October, 185lbs is my fighting weight.

“If you want this dust settled once and for all, get yourself over here and let’s get it on.

“There’s no excuses here, no one’s afraid to fight you. Get in touch, you pick the date, the venue, I’m not bothered.

“Let’s get this on.”

He also wrote a caption on his video, reading: “You were willing to fly over to the UK to fight KSI so where’s that energy to fight me?”

Paul didn’t indicate that he was likely to take his rival up on his offer.

In a now-deleted tweet, the Problem Child responded: “Groundhog day”.

He had initially prompted Fury’s interest by writing yesterday: “My next opponent will be a pro boxer and of course he will have a winning record just like Timmy and Ramen did before they pulled out. October.”
