After beating Taylor, Fury called out Paul.
"Jake Paul should have an easy night. So he’s got no excuse for not taking the fight? Let’s get it on Jake Paul. I’ve done my bit. You do your bit tonight and we’ll get it on," Fury said.
Fury was asked whether he thought he did enough to earn a fight against Paul.
"I mean it should be easy enough for him, like I said. I went four rounds with his sparring partner … Jump in the ring. It should be no test at all."
