Tommy Fury calls out 'scared' Jake Paul after comeback fight in Budapest
Tommy Fury has called out Jake Paul for a rematch following his return to the ring on Friday night.
Fury had not boxed since his victory over KSI at the Manchester Arena in October 2023 but staged a successful comeback in Budapest, Hungary, on Friday evening as he beat Kenan Hanjalic in six rounds.
The 26-year-old, who has admitted he struggled with alcohol addiction following his well-publicised split from Molly-Mae Hague last year, beat Jake Paul via split decision in a lucrative fight in Saudi Arabia in February 2023.
Paul has since beat both MMA fighter Nate Diaz and legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson, while he is due to fight the former WBC middleweight champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, in California on June 28.
Fury's absence from the ring was forced due to recovery from hand surgery in January last year, but he is now targeting a second fight with Paul.
'Jake Paul's a bitch and he's running scared,' Fury said after his comeback win against Hanjalic on Friday. More Trending
'Hey, Jake, hand's fixed now, baby, the hand's fixed.
'I fought a guy in here tonight who has had over 100 amateur fights, he's experienced and he's as tough as teak.
'If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I will knock him spark out.
'I've had two years out of the ring, this is after two years. I will knock that bum out wherever he wants it.'

Clarkson's Farm fans think they spotted 'editing error' – but there's more to it
Jeremy Clarkson fans thought they spotted an editing mistake in the season 4 finale (Picture: Amazon Prime) Clarkson's Farm fans got quite the shock when they tuned in to watch the season 4 finale today. For a brief moment during the closing moments of the eighth episode, there was a strange blink and you'll miss it moment where a woman holding a red case flashed up on screen. The cameo – if you want to call it that – seems rather inexplicable, and it's not commented on by the narration, which has led some online to label it an editing error. On X, @Nc2012_700x wrote that, 'While watching Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video, a still image of a woman flashed on screen for a split second. Likely an editing mistake. Anyone else notice this?' They weren't the only ones to spot the 'mistake'.@gibsey007 tagged Jeremy in a tweet and asked, 'Why was a single frame added to your end message. Who is she?' Meanwhile, on Reddit, WasKnown asked other Clarkson's farm fans 'was symbolic of anything or an editing mistake? So confused by that.' The above photo made a blink and you'll miss it appearance in the episode (Picture: Justin Tallis/AFP via Getty Images) Of course, if you've been paying attention to British politics over the last few months, you'll know this wasn't an editing mistake or a random gag. The woman in question is Rachel Reeves, the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, who upset farmers with her recent budget. Basically, the UK government has reintroduced a 20% inheritance tax on farms valued at more than £1million. This means the children and heirs of some farmers will no longer inherit land tax-free as they once did. Needless to say, the move has upset a number of farmers across the UK who claim that while their assets may be valuable, they are cash poor. They argue then this new law will force those inheriting farms to sell their land if they want to pay the tax bill. The picture was likely no accident however (Picture: In Pictures via Getty Images) Farmers claim this puts the future of the industry at risk and threatens food security in the UK. Supporters on the other hand, argue that the current law – which means farmers don't pay inheritance tax – is being abused by the wealthy to avoid taxes. Furthermore, they claim that only a small percentage of UK farmers will be affected Still, the British farming community was so incensed by the proposal that there were widespread protests in London, with Jeremy Clarkson becoming something of a spokesperson for the movement. Speaking to Sky News during one protest, Clarkson demanded that the government 'back down' on the policy. Rachel Reeves has upset farmers by changing inheritance tax laws (Picture:) 'If you make a mistake, we all do, and they have, be big enough to say we made a mistake here, and then back down,' he said. It seems likely, then, that the picture of Reeves which flashes up just as Jeremy says 'next year couldn't be any worse' is a not-so-subtle dig at the chancellor's plans, which will come into force from 2026. Jeremy has become the farmer's unofficial spokesperson on the issue (Picture: Getty Images) While some fans were baffled by Reeve's appearance, others immediately got the gag and shared their thoughts on it on social media. @jfyuga wrote on X, 'Seeing a subliminal frame of Rachel Reeves with the red briefcase during the last episode of Clarkson's Farm 4…. Well played @JeremyClarkson'. Shane Ó Dubhuir, meanwhile, added, 'Rachel Reeves very brief appearance at the end of Clarkson's Farm [crying face emoji].'
