CLEVELAND OHIO: Even though Tommy Fury previously announced his retirement from the world of influencer fighting, he is now contemplating a rematch with his "dance partner," Jake Paul.
Fury was seen in action earlier this month facing off against British YouTuber and rapper KSI. Despite expectations of an easy victory for Fury against KSI, the battle proved to be challenging as KSI put up a strong fight.

He stated, "I am the only fight for Jake Paul. Me and Jake Paul are the dance partners and he knows that himself. Me and him will always make a good fight, will always make a big fight."
He further added, "So whenever he's done with what he's doing, I'm sure me and him will meet again one day."
