It looks like Jake Paul and Tommy Fury may finally be able to settle their differences in the ring.

Following an argument at ringside which got heated – and topless- very quickly, Jake Paul has given Tommy Fury’s team a deadline to present a signed contract.

With Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, suggesting that the demands from the young American will be met, Paul’s promotional company laid out some more specific details via Twitter.

On the location, Paul has said it must be either Manchester or London.

“Has to be Manchester or London. Jake Paul will not allow travel to be an excuse for this fight to not happen.”

The reason for the two cities will be for February-suitable venues, but the UK as a whole is chosen because, as Paul alludes to, Fury was forced to pull out of their last scheduled fight due to being unable to travel to American.

As for financial terms, which can be the sticking point for many contracts, the YouTuber-turned-fighter with a 6-0 record seems to have that sorted too.

“John Fury has asked for February. Jake Paul has agreed. All that is needed now is for Frank Warren to get Tommy Fury to sign. MVP is paying Jake Paul and Frank Warren is paying Tommy Fury.”

The fight will be Paul’s first outing against a man solely trained in boxing with some amateur and professional fights under their belt.

He points to Anderson Silva – an MMA legend well-known for striking and with a couple of notable boxing wins – as his toughest test, but many fans point to Fury as a good match in size, age and ability.

The half-brother of the heavyweight champion of the world in Tyson is 8-0 with 4 KOs, his last ring outing being a lacklustre exhibition against Rolly Lambert in Dubai.
