Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul fight date latest: When it could happen and what has been said

Tommy Fury secured a resounding win on Saturday night when he comfortably defeated Daniel Bocianski as he won every round fighting on his brother's undercard. It was a perfect night for the Fury family, with the younger Tommy opening the main card with a win before Tyson closed the show with an emphatic knockout against Dillian Whyte.

Whilst it could be the last time we see Tyson on the big boxing stage, Tommy is at the other end of his career. Fury looked the better fighter throughout his clash with Bocianski, knocking his opponent down in the fifth round before a judges' decision declared the 22-year-old the winner after six rounds.

In all reality, Fury never really got out of second gear during the fight and this begs questions as to what lies ahead for 'TNT'.

For him, there's seemingly only one fight on his mind - rescheduling with Jake Paul after their fight was scrapped in December after Fury picked up an injury. The two have gone back and forth since their bout was cancelled with Paul teasing Fury that he's not interested in fighting him.

However, Paul continues to speak about Fury to the media, which suggest he's still on his mind. This weekend Fury said: "Jake Paul - this should have been done a long time ago in December and if you want it I'm here and I'm ready for you.

"I'll cut you and chop you to bits just like I did there, get the contract signed you bum, let's get it done once and for all. Jake Paul, I'm going to end your career, you're a bum and you're no good. Let's get this fight done and get this settled."

Paul was quick to respond to Fury, suggesting a fight could happen down the line. But when could the two meet?

Paul has already confirmed that he plans to return on August 6, naming Fury as one of six potential opponents on that date. However, he recently let slip that he's looking to fight UFC legend Anderson Silva.

This might not be a bad thing for Fury, though, giving him time to get in the ring once or twice more this summer - potentially meeting Paul in the winter season.

It's clear to see that there's a desire for both camps to make the fight happen, with plenty of media attention. But Fury will have to pick up another win or two if we're to see that this year.
