Following his loss to Tommy Fury in a split decision, Jake Paul has called for a rematch.

Speaking after the fight, the 26 year old YouTuber said: "All respect to Tommy he won, judge me by my wins judge me by my losses. I don't know if I agree with the judges, it is what it is but that is the boxing world. I have won in every single way already in life! I have made it further than I ever what I thought!

"I'll take it on the chin but we can run it back!

"Honestly I felt flat, I got sick really bad twice in this camp and injured my arm. I am not making my excuses, it was just tough in this camp. But judge me by my losses. 100% let us run it back!"

Tommy had won the fight after it went to the scorecards after eight rounds of fighting.

The match, which was hosted in Saudi Arabia, came after years of anticipation.

The pair were originally scheduled to fight in December 2021 until Fury pulled out due to an injury.

Rescheduled for August 2022, that fight was called off after Fury was unable to get to the United States of America, where the fight was being hosted.

Although there was a lot of tough talk between the pair, it appears that things got a little more amicable upon their arrivals in Saudi Arabia last week.

Face to face with his opponent at a press event, Paul expressed regret for leaking the announcement of Fury's newborn baby, who he welcomed last month with girlfriend fellow Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague.

Paul said: "You know what? I apologise, actually, for leaking your baby's announcement. I honestly didn't mean to say that the baby was..."

Although Fury claimed to not be upset by the incident, Paul insisted on gifting something to Fury's daughter, who has been named Bambi.

Paul continued: "I just want to say that I didn't mean to leak your baby's announcement. I actually got a gift for Bambi just as a sorry. It's like a really nice designer baby brand."

Fury graciously took the gift and put it to the side, telling his rival: "Well, thank you very much, I'm sure she'll appreciate that. Thank you."

"You've got up one million percent in my estimation," he then told Paul. "May the best man win."
