‘As soon as possible’ – John Fury makes offer to Logan Paul for extraordinary fight but sets one big condition

John Fury has called out Logan Paul for an extraordinary boxing fight at the age of 59.

Fury Sr is the father of both former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and social media star Tommy Fury, who has been boxing influencers in recent years.

His son Tommy has been embroiled in a rivalry with the Paul siblings, two YouTuber-turned-boxers – which Fury Sr has become an integral part of.

The young Fury narrowly defeated Jake Paul last year in a huge boxing match, with his father in his corner, and the pair have been linked with a rematch ever since.

Today, Fury issued a rematch call-out to Paul by video, insisting the pair can meet in 2025, after his fight with Darren Till on January 15 collapsed.

And incredibly, his 59-year-old father John, has called out Paul’s sibling Logan for an astonishing showdown.

He has insisted he wants to show he can mix it with the younger boxers, and make a comeback to the ring.

And he believes it can happen on the undercard of his son’s planned rematch with the ‘Problem Child’ next year.

Fury Sr said in a video on social media: “This is a message to Logan Paul. You keep going on about Tommy Fury not wanting to fight your brother.

“Here’s one for you my friend. He does want to fight your brother and I’ll tell you what else, I will fight you on the undercard.

“As soon as possible, ASAP. I’m sick of people saying ‘I won’t do this and I won’t do that.’ I will show you how I’ll do.

“Tommy will fight your brother as early as end of February or end of January and I’ll fight you on the undercard. You’re a lot younger than me, we know that.

“You’re a 15st man, but I won’t do as other fighters do… I will let my punches go at you. I’m sick of the critics saying ‘I won’t do this’ or ‘I won’t do that and I’m a coward.’

“I will show you how much of a coward I am, I will fight you anywhere in the world except America on your brother and Tommy’s undercard.

“Get back to me if you’re interested… I will fight you Logan Paul and I will throw punches at you. I will let my hands go and I won’t s*** myself.

“I’ll let my f****** hands go. So, if you’re interested, let me know and I’ll fight you on your brother and Tommy’s undercard wherever it may be in the world.”

Fury Sr had 13 fights as a professional, but hasn’t fought since 1995 where he was beaten by Steve Garber.

He has regularly teased a return to the ring, even extraordinarily calling out heavyweight legend Mike Tyson – but a bout never materialised.

Paul’s brother Logan has had a handful of boxing fights which include a defeat to KSI, an unscored exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, and a win over Dillon Danis.

But it is unlikely he will agree to any showdown, given he already rejected a bizarre call-out from ‘Iron Mike’ Tyson in November.

Any bout also depends on if a Paul vs Fury rematch can be made, which appears unlikely.

The influencer-boxer already produced a savage response earlier on Tuesday, pointing out that he had already offered Fury the bout in November this year.
