Jake Paul’s former boxing trainer reveals mistake that led to Tommy Fury loss and how YouTuber can win rematch ‘easy’

3 months ago 29

JAKE PAUL has an “easy” route to victory in a rematch with Tommy Fury after simple mistakes led to defeat the first time.

Fury is the first and so far only to defeat YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul following a split-decision win in February 2023.

That is despite scoring a late knockdown in the eighth and final round.

Paul has called for a rematch after switching up his training team in the aftermath of the loss in Saudi Arabia.

And even former coach BJ Flores – once a cruiserweight contender – admitted he got the tactics wrong.

Flores said in response to a fan: “Tommy won 5 rounds based on activity.

“@jakepaul was told the entire camp defence would win him this fight when the truth is if he lets his hands go he wins easy.

“Jake won 3 rounds plus the knockdown.”

Paul, 27, has won four since most recently beating ex-UFC star and bare-knuckle boxing champion Mike Perry, 32, in six rounds in July.

Perry only filled in with four weeks to go after Mike Tyson, 58, was forced out after suffering an ulcer flare up in his stomach.

But Tyson has been controversially deemed medically fit to instead fight Paul on November 15 in Texas.

Meanwhile, Fury, 25, beat KSI, 31, via disputed decision in October but underwent hand surgery afterwards.

He wants to return in December while Paul continues to demand a rematch.

Paul told SunSport: “I need to do that, all the fans want it. It’s a massive fight, it was a good fight.

“So, I need to go back and avenge my loss and for me that will be very pleasurable and I believe that I will wipe the floor with Tommy Fury now.

“My skill level is just on a different, different level. I’m not even the same fighter anymore.”
