Jake Paul is still angling for a Tommy Fury rematch ... at a discount.

"I'm offering Tommy Fury $3M to fight me in 2025," Paul wrote on Twitter. "The number is $4M if he can legally get into the US. Let's see who is ducking who."

Paul dropped a split decision to Fury when they first went to war back in early 2023, a performance that was marred by an untimely wet dream the night before. It also didn't help that "El Gallo" was "sick and underprepared."

"Why would I agree to that when it's less than our first fight AND I beat you," Fury responded. "You're deluded. You claim to be a good businessman, if you want to talk business properly, I'm there. But don't throw me stupid offers you know won't get accepted. It's clear to see that you're just using the money as an excuse to get away from this rematch. You brag about making $50M for fights but yet won't pay up for the only real fight you have left. Showing your true colors my friend. Keep running scared. I'll see you very soon."

Sounds like the Fury rematch is not, in fact, "right there."

"You still drunk? You turned down $6M plus upside to headline Netflix against me," Paul added. "Your dadager (Dad Manager) and you may be the two dumbest dingbats the UK has ever created. Oh and you can't travel to the US you wanker…sooooo. Ship has sailed unless you take $3M and we run it in 2025. Let us know. You literally have ZERO opportunity other than fighting me or the other jumping jack pullout artist."

Paul is likely referring to KSI, who withdrew from his Dillon Danis fight last week.

The 28 year-old Paul is still searching for his next fight after last year's Mike Tyson debacle on Netflix. "El Gallo" insists he is no longer a boxing influencer but rather a bona fide professional pugilist, ready to make a run at the biggest names in the sport.

The feeling does not appear to be mutual.
