The ongoing feud between Paul and Fury has once again made headlines, with the former taking aim at his long-time rival. Paul didn't hold back when discussing Fury's recent split with his Love Island partner, Molly-Mae Hague. The couple, who had been together for five years, announced their separation last week, causing quite a stir in the media.
Paul and Fury's rivalry dates back several years, with most of their conflicts playing out on social media. However, the tension finally reached its peak in March 2023 when the two finally faced off in a highly-anticipated boxing match in Saudi Arabia. Both men had undefeated records going into the fight, making it all the more intense. In the end, Fury, who is the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, emerged victorious by split decision, making him the only person to defeat Paul.
Many fans were eager for a rematch, but it has yet to materialize. Fury's recent fight against KSI and subsequent hand surgery have kept him out of the ring, while Paul has bounced back with four consecutive wins. Currently, he is preparing for a highly-anticipated match against boxing legend, Mike Tyson, which will be broadcast live on Netflix in November.
Despite their 30-year age difference, the bout between Paul and Tyson is expected to be one of the most lucrative in boxing history. Interestingly, Paul revealed that Fury was initially offered the opportunity to fight on the streaming platform, but turned it down. In a recent interview at a Professional Fighters League media event, Paul expressed his sympathy for his rival's personal life, but didn't hold back in his desire to defeat him in the ring.
When asked if Fury's recent actions had "devalued" him as a boxer, Paul couldn't help but smile and took a jab at his rival's well-publicized breakup. "He definitely continues to devalue himself over time," Paul said. "Saying no to the Netflix opportunity was probably the dumbest thing a boxer in history has done. Like, you literally turned down the biggest platform, and now he's got caught cheating and got divorced, and now he is a single father." The two have shared their fair share of vicious insults over the years, and it seems like this rivalry is far from over.
