Jake Paul has an “easy” path to victory in his rematch with Tommy Fury after simple mistakes cost him the first time around.
Fury is the first and so far only boxer to defeat the YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul after winning by split decision in February 2023.

This was despite scoring a knockdown late in the eighth and final round.
Paul has demanded a rematch after making changes to his training team following the defeat in Saudi Arabia.
And even former coach B.J. Flores — who was once a cruiserweight contender — admitted his strategy was wrong.
Flores said in response to a fan: “Tommy won 5 rounds based on activity.
“@jakepaul was told the entire camp defense would win him this fight, when the truth is if he just let his hands down he could easily win.
“Jake wins round 3 and the knockdown.”
Paul, 27, has won four fights since knocking out former UFC star and bare-knuckle boxing champion Mike Perry, 32, over six rounds in July.
Mike Tyson reveals which boxer he is scared to fight and says ‘no one has a chance’Perry was handed the reins just four weeks ago when 58-year-old Mike Tyson was forced out with a stomach ulcer.

But Tyson has controversially been deemed medically fit, and will fight Paul on November 15 in Texas.
Meanwhile, Fury, 25, defeated KSI, 31, via controversial decision in October but had to undergo hand surgery afterwards.
He wants to return in December while Paul is seeking a rematch.
Paul told SunSport: “I want to do it, all the fans want it. It’s a massive fight, it was a good fight.
“So, I have to go back and avenge my defeat and that would be really pleasing for me and I believe I can now blow Tommy Fury away.
“My skill-level is at a completely different level now. I’m not even the same fighter anymore.”
