Jake Paul has made another offer to Tommy Fury as the rivals attempt to strike a deal for their long-awaited grudge fight.
Paul and Fury have twice been scheduled to meet in the ring - last December and again three months ago. But Fury pulled out on both occasions, first with a broken rib and then when he was banned from flying to New York for a press conference.
Paul plans to return to the ring in February and claims to have sent out offers to three prospective opponents yesterday. And the YouTuber took to social media to confirm Fury was one of the recipients, saying: " Tommy Fury …the contract is with your team. Seven figures, six times what you made in your last fight. You signing right?"
Paul has amassed a record of 6-0 since turning professional in 2020. He defeated fellow social media star AnEsonGib and former basketball star Nate Robinson before turning his attention to retired MMA fighters.
Ben Askren was knocked out in the first round before Tyron Woodley was beaten on points. Woodley then stepped into replace Fury last December before being knocked out in the sixth round.
Most recently, Paul dropped UFC legend Anderson Silva en-route to a unanimous decision victory after eight rounds. The 25-year-old has also been linked with fights against controversial ex-kickboxer Andrew Tate and another ex-UFC fighter in Nate Diaz.
Should Tommy Fury accept Jake Paul's offer? Let us know in the comments section below
Fury, meanwhile, has won each of his eight professional fights following an almost non-existent amateur career. He was last in action earlier this month in an exhibition bout on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's fight with Deji.
He then rowed with Paul at ringside where the YouTuber was on commentary duty. Fury's dad John also weighed in, removing his top and aiming a barrage of abuse in Paul's direction.
Fury has since told Paul he must accept terms dictated by himself and promotional outfit Global Titans. Should a deal be reached, the fight would likely take place in the UK - with Manchester and London the frontrunners - or the Middle East.
