Paul faces boxing legend Tyson this summer live on Netflix but he was pushing for a rematch against former opponent Fury before the fight was finalised
YouTube-turned-boxer Paul suffered his first and only boxing defeat when he was beaten by Love Island star Fury last year. Paul has since been pushing for a rematch ever since but talks broke down and he will now face boxing legend Mike Tyson on July 20 at the 80,000 seat AT&T Stadium in a mega-event.
"We knew we wanted to target this summer so we just started making calls. We called Tommy Fury, was one of the names, and he said no, he wanted more money. So now, and it's all serendipitous, he's probably punching the f***ing air now realising how big of a mistake he made, I mean, he's an idiot.
