Jake Paul reveals date to rematch Tommy Fury and says Love Island star is worth more than what KSI is offering for fight
JAKE PAUL has revealed his timeframe to rematch Tommy Fury after hitting out at KSI’s fight offer.
The YouTuber-turned boxer was beaten for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Fury in Saudi Arabia.
But he snubbed a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
It has led rival KSI, 29, to instead focus on Fury, 24, with the pair now in talks to fight.
But Paul, 26, hit out at KSI’s offer claiming it is only worth $1.5million (£1.2m) and instead urged Fury to rematch him in February.
He tweeted: “I elevated Tommy, my son is now worth a lot more than the $1.5M offers you making. Tommy, February we run it back.”
KSI returned in May against millionaire nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
But it ended in controversy after an accidental but illegal elbow knocked Fournier out.
The result was later overturned from a KO to a no-contest.
But after facing off with Fury in the ring afterwards, KSI is out to fight the 2019 Love Islander next.

And he teased that an offer has been sent but not agreed to.
KSI tweeted: “What you waiting for @tommytntfury?
“Sign the damn contract and let me show you the difference between me and that fraud who only wins against retired mma pensioners.”
