The younger brother of Tyson Fury defeated the YouTuber by a split decision in Saudi Arabia, handing him the first defeat of his career. Fury took the win Paul is hoping to have a rematch with Fury after his first career defeat Fury remains unbeaten with a 9-0 record, and coming from a boxing background, he did what many in the sport hoped he would. That includes four-time world champion Carl Froch, who said: "Tommy's done professional boxing a huge favour by shutting up Jake Paul. "He can't call himself a professional boxer because he's gone in against a novice and got absolutely whooped, he got obliterated." talkSPORT's Spencer Oliver agreed, saying: "It was going to be a disaster if Tommy lost that fight and thankfully he saved the sport by going in there and doing the job." Paul credited the victor post-fight, but also made some brief excuses about injuries and illness during his training camp. Adding to that, he confirmed he will trigger his rematch clause, and Oliver thinks the fight could take place in a matter of months. "The return will happen and I think it will happen out here," he said. "There's a rematch clause in Jake Paul's favour and he will activate that as that's the only way he keeps his boxing career alive. "We will see it again, probably in about four months or so, but thankfully Tommy Fury won and kept the boxing world happy. "Tyson and all the Fury family were out here and trust me, they were leaving Tommy here if he didn't win." Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from talkSPORT.
