Fury started the fight off strongly and was pounding on pressure on Paul from the first bell. As the rounds went on, 'The Problem Child' started to find a home for his vicious right hand. However, unlike his opponents in the past, 'TNT' was able to withstand his power.

Will Jake Paul fight Tommy Fury again?
'The Problem Child' had his toughest test inside the squared circle last night. Paul entered the fight against someone who was a real 'pro-boxer' for the first time and ended up suffering the first loss of his career.
However, going into the fight, there were a lot of question marks surrounding Jake Paul's claim of being a legitimate boxer. While 'The Problem Child' fell short of getting a win over Tommy Fury, he certainly proved to everyone that he's a real boxer himself.
However, Paul looks set to get the opportunity to avenge his loss to Tommy Fury as we will most likely see a rematch between the two later this year. It is worth noting that there was a rematch clause in place if Jake Paul were to lose the fight. And with that being the case, the rivalry between the two seems far from over.
