Tommy Fury has made the next move in the negotiations between himself and Jake Paul in what is their third attempt to have a boxing match.
The rivalry between the Brit and the American has escalated this week since Paul commentated on Fury’s last exhibition bout, making fun of his skills and the way he fought.
Since they were seemingly willing to fight without getting paid, Paul took to Twitter after the event to give the Furys and their team a seven day deadline to sign a contract for a scrap in the UK.
Fury has now sent a message in reply, accusing the YouTuber-turned-fighter of hiding behind out of date terms from one of their previously scheduled bouts that fell through.
Dear Jake Paul, I’m glad to see you’ve agreed to the location and time, now you can tell your team to get round the table and negotiate properly instead of trying to hide behind the old terms/ agreements put in place 2 years ago. I’m ready and waiting to get this over the line.

According to Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, the fight is targeted for early next year. Since Fury is still unable to travel into the United States, Paul has demanded either London or Manchester to host the event.
Fury’s last outing was a lacklustre exhibition against Rolly Lambert, whilst Paul’s was an eight-round decision victory over MMA veteran, Anderson Silva.
