The DM That Changed Everything

So Jake Paul just dropped a bombshell that Tyson Fury—yes, THE Tyson Fury—has been secretly messaging him behind the scenes trying to set up a rematch with little brother Tommy. The audacity! Imagine being Tommy and finding out your big bro is negotiating your fights without you even knowing.

For those who forgot (or were living under a rock), Jake suffered his only professional L against Tommy back in 2023 in Saudi Arabia. Split decision. Controversial as hell. I was actually at a sports bar in Manchester watching that fight, and nearly lost £50 to my cousin who swore Tommy would dominate. He didn't.

Wait... 100 MILLION People?!

Since teh loss to Fury, Jake's been on an absolute tear with five straight wins. His most recent? That bizarre spectacle against Mike Tyson that had everyone's parents asking "is this even legal?" Despite all the controversy around fighting a 58-year-old legend, a mind-blowing 100 MILLION people watched on Netflix.

Let that sink in.

Meanwhile, Tommy Fury's been... well... not doing much. He finally crawled back into the ring after nearly two years away, beating some guy named Kenan Hanjalic in Hungary. Not exactly Madison Square Garden material.

Show Me The Money (That Tommy Won't Get)

According to Paul's camp, Tommy turned down a £6 million offer to rematch on Netflix. SIX MILLION POUNDS! What on earth is that man thinking? I've got friends who would fight a grizzly bear for half that amount.

Jake didn't hold back when talking to Ariel Helwani: "I think the Fury fight will happen in the next 12 months, yeah. He just has to be realistic about what's he's worth, right?"

"He just had a free fight on DAZN that tanked, couldn't sell the tickets in wherever he was like a 1,000 person venue and he's negotiating like he's God."

Tyson, Control Your Brother!

The most fascinating part? Jake revealed he actually messaged Tyson directly about the situation: "I DM'd Tyson Fury because Tyson was like, 'You guys need to make this happen now.' I was like, 'Tyson, you've got to put your brother in check here. He's not going to get this money or this offer anywhere else.'"

God. Imagine being Tommy and finding out your career is being discussed in DMs between your opponent and your brother. Poor guy probably found out about this on Twitter like the rest of us.

The Dad Problem

Jake didn't stop there. He absolutely torched Tommy's management situation: "Tommy's not his own boss, he's an airhead as well so I just feel bad for him because he thinks he's worth more than what he's worth."

Having met John Fury at a boxing event back in 2019, I can confirm the man is... intense. Like "might spontaneously combust at any moment" intense. Not sure I'd want him managing my career either.

The whole situation reminds me of when my uncle tried to negotiate my first job offer out of college. Ended up with less money AND had to work weekends. Thanks for nothing, Uncle Dave.

What's Next? (Besides Tommy's Bruised Ego)

While this drama unfolds, Jake's already booked his next fight on June 28 against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. That's... actually a legitimate opponent? I'm as shocked as you are.

Jake seems confident about eventually getting that Tommy rematch, saying: "I just can't wait to get back in there with this guy because in the past three years, I fought him two years into being a pro boxer now it's been three years since then."

He added: "It's just night and day and he hasn't got any better, right? He's been boxing since he was six years old, it's going to be the same stuff, same coach, his dumbass dad."

Listen. Whatever happens next, I'll be watching... along with apparently 100 million other people. Boxing is weird in 2025, adn I'm not even mad about it.
