Jake Paul says Tommy Fury walked away from a massive payday to run it back in the ring. Fury insists the story is not nearly that simple.

Paul sounded off on social media Tuesday, saying plenty of fighters were willing to step in for Gervonta Davis, but one name kept ducking him.
"Guess who did not say yes even for fifteen million dollars," Paul wrote. "Bitch made you and your father are, who controls everything you do. You are not a man. You are a boy. Daddy's little boy."
Fury quickly revealed he was the target of that blast. He fired back with his own explanation, saying Paul offered the fight in the United States, "a place I can't get to right now."
"Offer me the same fifteen million anywhere else in the world and I'll be there in eight weeks to shut you up and repeat what I did the first time," Fury wrote. "And 'daddy's little boy'? If anyone's a son here it's you. I gave you your first loss."
Fury handed Paul the only defeat of his boxing career back in February 2023. Paul has not responded to the latest round of trash talk, but it is tough to imagine he plans to let Fury own the final word.
For now, Paul is locked in on something even bigger. He is set to fight former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, with the two scheduled to appear together at a press conference on Friday.
