Jake Paul has plenty to focus on right now. In addition to helping the PFL with its promotion of Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira on Oct. 19 in Saudi Arabia, Paul is preparing himself for his highly anticipated boxing showdown with Mike Tyson on Nov. 15 in Dallas.
What comes next for "The Problem Child" in the aftermath of the Tyson fight is unknown. Will he try for another boxing match? Or will he finally look to make his PFL debut after signing with the promotion at the start of 2023?
The younger of the Paul brothers has found plenty of success in the boxing ring regardless of who has come his way -- all except for one person: Tommy Fury.
Many have wondered when a rematch between the two will come, especially given Paul and Fury failed to come to terms on a rematch, and the Brit has fought just once since their initial encounter, defeating KSI in a highly lackluster outing in October 2023.
Though one might expect that Fury would pursue a rematch with Paul in the boxing ring, it appears he's open to doing battle in the cage, too.
In a recent YouTube video, Fury showed off some of his time training alongside Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall.

In the video, Fury suggested that he is more than willing to cross over to MMA if it means getting his hands on Paul again.
Jake Paul's in the PFL, isn't he?" Fury said. "I'm going to smash his face in when I get better at MMA. I'll beat him in boxing, and in the cage. A big useless prick. I reckon a year-and-a-half to two years of training until I'll beat him in a [MMA] fight. It'll be no problem in the cage.
He's got the funds, he’s got the best trainers in the world, he’s got the best sparring in the world. So, he's doing all right. But he’s no match for me. I swear to you, next time I fight him, I'll knock him out.
Paul has not responded to Fury's remarks as of writing.
Since the loss to Fury, the Cleveland native has gone on to defeat Nate Diaz by decision and score knockouts against Andre August, Ryan Bourland, and Mike Perry.
