Jake Paul agrees to fight Tommy Fury in February
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has shown a willingness to fight British fighter Tommy Fury in London or Manchester next February.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul served as commentator for the exhibition bout between Tommy Fury and Rolly Lambert on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Deji Olatunji fight. At the end of the exhibition, tempers flared between Paul and the Fury clan, with challenges to get in the ring and fight immediately.
Two days later, the younger of the Paul brothers expressed his willingness to fight Tommy Fury in London or Manchester next February. On his Twitter account, Paul also established a seven-day deadline for Frank Warren, Fury’s manager, to have his client sign the fight contract. In case this does not take place, the American will give up on the match taking place.

Unrealized fight
Paul and Fury were scheduled to fight on August 6, 2022 at Madison Square Garden, but the match was canceled because of travel issues. The Briton was reported to have ties to drug traffickers and was therefore not allowed to set foot on US territory.
