Jake Paul Vs Tommy Fury Being Rescheduled For August According To Eddie Hearn | Social Media Roundup
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that he has heard Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury is being rescheduled for August — this and much more on Saturday’s social media roundup.
Eddie Hearn speculated that Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury is being rescheduled for this Summer
After Jake Paul defeated Tyron Woodley for the first time he was then scheduled to take on Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy Fury, however the fight up to now has not happened.
Fury sustained an injury and had an illness just over a week before the scheduled fight date and had to pull out of the fight. This let to Woodley once again getting a chance to fight Paul, however the fight did not go his way and Woodley ended up being the victim of a vicious knockout.
The natural next step for Jake Paul will be to face an actual boxer and Fury would fit that bill perfectly and it would be a very good matchup.
Despite being undefeated so far in his professional career, Tommy Fury is still extremely inexperienced as he did not have much of an amateur career so you could say that Paul and Fury are very close to each other in terms of experience and skill set.
Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn has revealed that he has heard that the fight between Paul and Fury is being rescheduled for August 13th this Summer.

Of course Hearn does not manage either of Fury or Paul or have any day in the negotiations for the fight but he does have lots of contacts and relationships within the boxing world which may have revealed this detail to him.
