Jake Paul wants a rematch
There was a rematch clause in the contract that Jake Paul will take immediately in order to get revenge on Tommy Fury.
Fury thanked the crowd and commented that if they want a second fight against Paul he would be happy to oblige.
"For the past two-and-a-half years, this is all that's consumed my life. Broke rib, denied access (to the U.S.), and everybody thought I was running scared. Tonight, I make my own legacy. I am Tommy Fury."
"All the way through these two-and-a-half years, I had a dream, I had a vision I would win this fight, and no one believed me. Now I can stand up and everyone can take note. In my first main event, 23 years old, I had the world on me. I had pressure on my shoulders and I came through."
Jake Paul said he was pleased with his performance and is looking forward to facing Fury for the second time.
"All respect to Tommy. He won. Don't judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. I'll come back. I think we deserve that rematch," Paul said. "It was a great fight, a close fight. I don't know if I agree with the judges. It is what it is, this is boxing. And I've already won in life, man. I've already won in every single way."
"Honestly, I felt flat. I got sick really bad twice in this camp, injured my arm," he continued, with boos coming in. "It wasn't my best performance, but I lost. I'm not making excuses, I'm just saying it wasn't my best performance, I felt a little flat. We're gonna come back and get that W."
