JAKE PAUL revealed talks to fight Tommy Fury are once again being revived – with a deal in place for February in the UK.
The boxing rivals have TWICE signed for a celebrity grudge match but both times Fury was withdrawn.
Jake Paul revealed talks to fight Tommy Fury are once again revived
Tommy Fury could fight Jake Paul in the UK in February
Firstly, he suffered a rib injury last December before running into US visa issues ahead of their rescheduled August date.
It means Paul will have to cross enemy lines to get his hands on Fury, who recently FaceTimed with the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
And they both agreed to see if three really is the lucky number and try for a hat-trick of times.
Paul, 25, said on his podcast: “Had a call with Tommy Fury. Yeah, they’re saying we’re going to fight in February.
“I think he actually can’t come into the United States. So if I fight him in the UK…”
He added: “I think parts of it are shady, I don’t think we’re getting the full truth on everything.
“But regardless, it’s a great matchup and I really want to knock him out.”
Tyron Woodley, 40, replaced Fury, 23, last and was knocked out in his rematch with Paul, four months after losing on points.
At that point, it added to KOs over YouTuber “AnEsonGib”, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC fighter Ben Askren, 38.
Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed after Fury’s latest pullout but a weight row saw Paul scrap the fight.
It leaves him still yet to face an opponent with prior professional boxing experience, but that changes on October 29.
Paul returns in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, who also has a 4-1 record in the ring.
