Tommy Fury has called out Jake Paul for a major collision in MMA, claiming he could destroy his rival, with his elbows.
The pair first collided on February 26, 2023, in a boxing match inside the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, with the Brit walking away with a split-decision victory.
Tommy Fury wants to fight Jake Paul in MMA
After months of trash talk, when Tommy Fury finally had the opportunity to face Jake Paul in the ring, he rose to the occasion.
Utilizing his head movement and flashy footwork, he left the American chasing shadows as he won the majority of the rounds.
However, he’s now willing to completely switch roles and head into a realm that favors Paul. While Fury started boxing in his younger years, his nemesis worked tirelessly on his wrestling skills, putting together a successful run in high school.
However, undeterred, the Englishman is convinced he could do a number on the Cleveland native.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Fury went to train MMA with UFC interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall.
The 25-year-old asked the combat sports icon: “Jake Paul’s in the PFL, isn’t he? To which Aspinall replied: “Oh, I love that then.”
Fury then claimed that he’d do a number on Paul inside the cage, adding that he wouldn’t need too much training to catch up with the YouTuber.
He asserted: “I’m gonna smash his face in when I get good at MMA. I’ll beat him in boxing and the cage. Big useless pr**k.”
“I reckon a year-and-a-half, to two years of training, until I’ll beat him in a fight no problem in the cage.”
The Love Island runner-up added: “He’s got the funds, he’s got the best sparring partners in the world. So, he’s doing alright. But, no match for me.”
“I swear to you, next time I fight him, I’ll knock him out. In MMA, I just want to give him a big fat (throws knee). All elbows, no fists.”
The clip then cut to Aspinall landing fearsome kicks, prompting Fury to release a shriek.
He subsequently admitted: “My leg is in bits; it’s absolutely killing me.”
While the video wasn’t necessarily promising, with a bit more work inside the gym, who knows how good at MMA Fury could get?

Since their encounter, Fury has had just one fight, whereas Paul has had several, most recently claiming a victory over Mike Perry.
The performance marked the social media icon’s next step on the road to redemption, and also ended the UFC veteran’s run of momentum.
However, Joe Rogan believes had the MMA fighter done something different, he could’ve potentially claimed the win for himself.
