Taylor was defeated by the 2019 Love Island star in four rounds, late August. This night Paul won victory over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
Fury, 22 and the YouTuber, 24 were set up for a possible fight next. Flores confirmed that he had already approved.
According to him, The Mirror said: "I didn’t expect much from Tommy to be honest.
"Anthony is a bad person, and he wasn't good enough to win rounds. But he made it competitive and I really didn't expect much from Tommy.
"Everybody's on Tommy’s nuts but I wasn't expecting too much from him. He didn't have an amateur career and it can be difficult to perform out there.
It's hard work and many people don't realize how difficult it is. We'll see if he is still a possible opponent.

"We talk about this, but he has better ideas than me."
Fury improved to 7-0 after defeating Taylor, while Paul moved up to 4-0 with the largest victory of his career.
It was a KO win over an online opponent 'AnEsonGib,' ex-NBA player Nate Robinson (37), and former UFC welterweight Ben Askren (37).
Fury and Paul are said to be in talks and Flores suggested that training could begin as soon as next week.
He stated that he was ready to return. He's a serious kid. Trust me, he is very serious.
"He doesn't want to take too much time off. He is obsessed with boxing.
"He won’t take too much time off, he’ll want to return sooner than [next] year], and that’s what we really need.
"We have a lot momentum right now. There are many things we can improve upon and work on. We just need to go back to the drawing board.
"It's evident that it's a work-in-progress, so we need keep working and stay focused. That's our mentality at camp.
"We are always improving and getting better. We don't have the luxury of taking months off to sit back."
