TOMMY FURY has hit out at Jake Paul following his callout of Anthony Joshua – and teased a rematch with his rival.
Fury became the first and so far only to defeat YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul – winning a split-decision in Saudi Arabia in 2023.

But the American has bounced back with five wins since and sent social media into a frenzy by brazenly calling out AJ.
So Fury – who underwent hand surgery last year to repair an injury – was quick to slam Paul and aimed a dig his way.
He said on Instagram: “Just wanted to give a little opinion on everything I’ve been seeing on social media lately.
“Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua – just wanted to come on here and remind everybody that that bum couldn’t even beat me when I basically had a broken hand.
“I had one hand and he still lost. Jake Paul, I’m still your daddy and everybody weighing this fight up, don’t bother because he ain’t worth a shilling.
“And a loss will always be there Mr Paul. Take it easy and have a good day.”
Paul, 28, most recently beat Mike Tyson, 58, in November with the fight marred in controversy amid the huge age gap between them.
But still over 100 MILLION watched on Netflix – prompting shock talks to fight Canelo Alvarez in May in Las Vegas.

But Canelo, 34, walked away from the bout to instead sign a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh.
And with Paul looking for his next opponent, he called out two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua, 35, on his podcast.
Paul said: “I want to fight Anthony Joshua – exclusive – because I know I will f***ing beat Anthony Joshua’s ass.
“He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill and he’s stiff. I love you Anthony, we’e friends, all this s*** but I want to fight you.”
AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn is open to talks and suggested it would earn Joshua £100MILLION and break pay-per-view records.
Fury, 25, meanwhile beat Paul’s arch rival KSI, 31, via disputed decision in October 2023 but has not returned since following his surgery.
He was due to do so against Darren Till, 32, in January but he pulled out after the ex-UFC star threatened to KICK him in the head.
But Fury told fans in a written message: “I’m in the best shape of my life, fit and ready to go.
“Got some really big fight news on the way for you guys. Stay tuned!!”
Paul did reveals talks for a rematch with Fury, telling SunSport: “Definitely that’s on the docket and those conversations have been going on for quite some time.
“I think it is gonna happen when it makes sense for everyone, but for sure it’s gonna happen.”
