For much of Sunday’s fight, Paul looked a class below Fury. However, he scored a knockdown in the last round with a simple jab. That should give Paul some hope that he might turn it around in his next match.
However, the fact that the odds have swung so far in Fury’s favor shows that sportsbooks and the public believe he is likely to be a level above Jake Paul.
Paul to invoke the rematch clause
With his impressive 9-0 record and background as a former Love Island star, Fury has quickly become a fan favorite and major draw in the boxing world.
Of course, it’s not just Fury’s popularity that makes him the favorite in a potential rematch. He is a skilled fighter with a lot of experience, and he showed in the first fight that he is more than capable of going toe to toe with Jake Paul.
For his part, Jake Paul has indicated that he intends to activate the rematch clause in his contract, which means that we could see these two fighters face off once again in the near future. Whether or not Paul can bounce back from his first loss and secure a win in a rematch remains to be seen, but it’s clear he’s not ready to give up his boxing career just yet.
In the post-fight interview, Paul said that he should be judged by his losses and how he reacts to them. It’s clear he’s taking this loss seriously and looking to learn from his mistakes to come back stronger in a possible rematch.
