Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, two of boxing’s biggest stars, went head-to-head in an epic fight on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, with Fury emerging victorious in a split-decision win. In the aftermath of the fight, both fighters had a post-fight conversation in which they discussed the bout and exchanged words of respect for each other.
In Jake Paul’s podcast, ‘BS with Jake Paul’, he discussed the conversation he had with Fury in one of the locker rooms after the fight. Paul said that Fury was a “good kid” and that there was a mutual respect between them. He said that Fury offered a potential rematch and that they hugged after talking.
Paul also reflected on his first professional boxing defeat, noting that it had nothing to do with Fury, saying “He wasn’t that great at all. I think Anderson was tougher than him, and I figured out that puzzle.” Paul also mentioned that he had been ill for four weeks during his nine-week training camp and had been travelling and jet-lagged for another week, which he believes may have contributed to his loss.
The fight between Paul and Fury was highly anticipated by boxing fans and the respect between the two fighters after the fight is a testament to the sport. Paul and Fury are now two of boxing’s biggest stars and their post-fight conversation is a reminder of the mutual respect between boxers, even after the intensity of a fight.
