'No one is running': Tommy Fury fires back at $12.5 million claim from Jake Paul
Tommy Fury has fired back at claims from Jake Paul after claims of a rematch offer.
The pair first fought in February 2023 in what remains the only loss on Paul's pro record, while Fury remains undefeated across his 10 fights to date.
In the wake of Paul's victory over former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson last month, talks have ramped up about a potential second meeting between the two stars.

This week, Paul's older brother Logan said on his podcast the Englishman refused to take a second bout as tensions rise between the two camps.
Fury has since responded via his Instagram account and said squaring off against Paul is "not a problem" but wants to see "serious numbers" before signing on the dotted line.

"I just woke up and seen Logan Paul talk on his podcast yet again about how I don't want to fight Jake and I'm running scared," he said.
"I've seen Jake tweeting the other day about how he offered my X, Y, and, Z on Netflix.
"I just wanted to come in here and say that no one's running from that fight. I beat you once already, I handed you your first loss. The minute you stepped up and fought a real boxer, you lost, fair and square.
"I can give you a second loss, that's not a problem, but let's talk some serious numbers down the phone. If you want to get in touch, you know where I am, it's as easy as that.
"I can come back after a year and beat the pair of you, so at the end of the day if you want to fight, let's talk some serious numbers. You know where I am."
Since posting the clip via social media, Paul and Fury have become embroiled in a war of words after a $12.5 million AUD figure ($8 million USD) was floated.
Fury was initially slated to fight Darren Till, but pulled out after a bizarre media event where the former UFC fighter said he would throw a headkick during the boxing bout.
The 25-year-old, who is the younger brother of former heavyweight champ Tyson Fury, last fought against KSI more than a year ago, winning via unanimous decision.
