It was a split decision on the judge’s scorecards … one judge had Jake ahead by a point. The other two judges had Tommy winning, and that was the difference.
Tommy didn’t have a rematch clause in his contract, but Jake did … meaning The Problem Child can now force Tommy to run it back.
And, after the fight, that’s exactly what Paul said he planned to do. Tommy also made it clear he is very open to fighting once again.
Tommy was emotional after the match, saying the feud with Paul has dominated the last two years of his life. Fury also said he now has made a name for himself … stepping out of his heavyweight champion brother Tyson’s shadow.
The loss now brings Paul’s pro record to 6-1 … and Fury’s to 9-0.
