Jake Paul’s $15 Million Offer Rejected Shocking Fans
Jake Paul recently revealed that a fellow boxer declined a lucrative offer to face him in the ring. Following the cancellation of his Nov. 14 match against Gervonta Davis, Paul is set to take on Anthony Joshua on December 19 at Miami’s Kaseya Center.
Rejected $15 Million Offer Shocks Fans
After announcing the fight with Joshua, Paul called out Tommy Fury for turning down a rematch. He stated, “Respect due to all the fighters that said yes. Guess who didn’t say yes even for $15M.” This statement targeted Fury, suggesting that he was less than genuine in his response.
Fury Responds to Allegations
Tommy Fury, 26, confirmed that Paul’s comments were directed at him but offered a different view. He argued that the $15 million offer was insincere, stating that it was conveniently tied to a location he could not access. “Offer me the same $15M anywhere else in the world,” Fury challenged, adding that he would be ready to fight Paul within eight weeks.
- Fury has previously defeated Paul by split decision.
- He recently returned to the ring, winning against Kenan Hanjalic by unanimous decision in April.
Match Details and Background
Paul’s upcoming fight against Joshua marks a significant step in his boxing career. Joshua, a former unified champion with an impressive record of 28 wins, 4 losses, and 25 knockouts, also lost his most recent fight on September 21, 2024, to Daniel Dubois.
In contrast, Paul enters the match with a professional boxing record of 12 wins and 1 loss. With Fury already in his rearview mirror, he seeks to solidify his reputation in the heavyweight division.
Cancelled Fight with Gervonta Davis
Paul’s originally planned fight with Gervonta Davis fell through due to legal issues surrounding Davis. An ex-girlfriend filed a lawsuit against the WBA lightweight champion, complicating the match.
As he prepares for December’s showdown, Paul aims to bounce back from the hurdles in his boxing journey. Fans eagerly await the clash between Paul and Joshua, which promises to be an event full of excitement and anticipation.
