Jake Paul has reignited his feud with Tommy Fury after his rival called him out for a rematch.
Paul and Fury have been embroiled in a long-term rivalry for several years, which eventually resulted in the pair squaring off in a boxing showdown last year.

Fury got the better of ‘El Gallo’, handing him his first defeat by split decision, despite being dropped to the canvas late on.
The American had suggested he made a huge offer for the pair to do battle in a sequel, which Fury rejected, and so he elected to entice heavyweight legend Mike Tyson back into the squared circle.
Guns had recently been put down by both men who were separately focusing on their own careers.
But ‘TNT’ has now made a new verbal offer to fight Paul again, having withdrawn from his clash with Darren Till on January 18.
He said in a video posted to Instagram: “Right, so I’ve just woke up and seen Logan Paul talk on his podcast yet again about how I don’t want to fight Jake and that I’m running scared.
“I’ve seen Jake tweet the other day about how he offered me x, y, z on Netflix.
“I just wanted to come on here and say that no one here is running from this fight.
“I’ve beat you once already, I handed you your first loss. The minute you stepped in there with a real boxer… you lost fair and square.
“I can give you a second loss, that’s not a problem. But let’s talk some serious numbers down the phone. If you want to get touch, you know where I am.
“It’s as easy as that. I can come back after a year and beat the pair of you.
“At the end of the day, if you want to fight, let’s talk some serious numbers… you know where I am.”
Paul has since issued an extremely savage response, tweeting: “What an absolute muppet.
“Buddy you just pulled out of a fight for the 3rd time. You have ZERO credibility.
“I offered you $8 million dollars and you ran away from it.
“And now you got dumped by Molly [Mae Hague], getting sued by DAZN and still can’t call a shot without your dad. Get the f*** out of here.”
Paul has yet to pencil in his next fight date, and has been subject to a number of call-outs given the success of his record-breaking event with Tyson last month.
Fury is still undefeated and beat Paul’s rival KSI last October, which also led to talks of a rematch.
He was instead set to return against ex-UFC champion Till on January 18, but has withdrawn over a threat his rival made that he could break the fight rules.
As a result it now appears he wants the second fight, one which Paul could well accept given he will have his eye on revenge.
It is the only defeat on his professional record so far, and a win could set him back on course for his ambitious plan to become an unlikely world champion.
