Tommy Fury on his win against Jake Paul

“Everybody said Jake Paul would knock me out and guess what, they were wrong. I can here tonight, first time at the big dance I delivered. I showed everyone I can handle the pressure I went in there and did what I said I was going to do. I got the win.”

When asked how he felt Jake Paul performed, Fury complimented that YouTube star before teasing that their eventual rematch will be an even better fight.

“No listen Jake Paul is a tough guy…he delivered but at the end of the day I’m levels above him and when the rematch gets made, you’ll see a lot better fight. There was a lot of pressure going into this match, my little girl was born three weeks ago so I had to deal with that but I’m here now with a win.”

And finally, Fury reflected on his own performance in the ring, admitting that his precision and more focused hits are what got him the win and why the judges awarded the fight to him over Jake.

“I know I landed the cleaner punches and that was it. Thank god the judges scored with what actually landed.”

And while a rematch between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul is well and truly on the cards, KSI seems interested in getting his hands on Jake Paul before Fury get’s his second shot. However, time will tell who Jake Paul’s next opponent is.
