    Interesting question.

    Obviously the Paul re match is the money fight.

    Outside of that...what does he do??

    Paul made his name fighting UFC guys and being an online celebrity.

    Fury was fighting townhall type fights against bus drivers. How does he go back to that after making millions fighting Paul?

    I think it's fairly clear that Fury's aspirations are limited. He might top out at a British title level, but to do that he has to fight decent British fighters with records like 14-5-1 in front of hundreds of people

    Does he really want to go back to that?

    That pretty much it right?

    I cant see him going back to fighting 6 rounds in York Town Hall.

    Everybody starts so or similar. But depends on what Tommy wants, he should go for the rematch, as there's a clause for and if he really wants to be a boxer, jump to the next level opponents for the fight after that rematch.

    If he wins that one, English title shot, might be able to create some buzz around that.

    He'll be on the celebrity circuit for while - Jake Paul rematch, KSI, Logan Paul, etc. That will keep him busy for the next few years and earn him tens of millions. He doesn't need to take any risks fighting for regional/national titles against professional boxers for peanuts. It's not a bad position to be in given his limitations.

    A few more YouTuber fights and then retire to ITV2. He would get destroyed at British level, so there’s no real point in trying to go down that road.

    Retire after the rematch with the 2nd best dollars earned/talent ratio in the history of the sport. 2nd to Paul, obviously...

    Bank the millions from this bout and the rematch, then do the I am retiring to spend time with my family speech.

    He and his missus will make even more money on the celeb circuit and media deals.

    Jake Paul sure gave him the golden ticket.

    Already overachieved. Make himself look good in a rematch, take the money. Leave.

    Paul isn't an idiot and knows if he fights Tommy again it's going to be curtains for his "boxing career" because Tommy will son him even worse.

    Could Jake not go for the rematch? maybe

    Saudi's should cough up the cash for Fury Usyk and put Tommy Paul as the co-main.

    He will fight bums until he cashes out against a big name boxer where he gets destroyed.
