Tommy Fury accused of rejecting £1MILLION offer to rematch Anthony Taylor because MMA star was ‘too tough of a fighter’

ANTHONY TAYLOR has accused Tommy Fury of rejecting a $1MILLION rematch offer... because he is “too tough of a fighter”;.

Taylor was beaten by Fury over four rounds in August 2021, on one of Jake Paul’s undercards.

The pair will once again be in the same ring as each other on Sunday night, just in separate bouts.

Taylor faces another Love Island star in Jack Fincham, while Fury co-headlines the night against 5-2 American Paul Bamba.

But Paul’s former sparring partner claims Bamba was only given the opportunity after Fury, 23, refused a rematch.

Taylor, 33, told SunSport: “I was told they offered Tommy $1million to fight me in a rematch and he turned it down.

“He simply said, ‘That guy is too tough of a fighter.’ It’s the same Tommy that didn’t accept our fight till three weeks out.

“I didn’t know I was fighting Tommy the first time until three weeks notice. He took over a month to sign the contract beforehand.”;

Fury returns with a celebrity grudge match against Paul, 25, in the pipeline if he gets past Bamba.

Meanwhile, Taylor welcomes Fincham, 31, to the ring with the reality TV star set to make his professional debut.

Taylor said: “I just know he’s a freaking Love Island guy, I’m always fighting these Love Island guys. Just like Tommy f***** Fury.

“I heard he had 60 amateur fights, but that doesn’t mean anything to me.

“I’m just going to steamroll through him like Mike Tyson does with his peekaboo style.”;
