Jake Paul and Andrew Tate face off ahead of potential boxing fight

Tommy Fury has cast doubt on his fight with Jake Paul taking place in the UK despite the YouTuber agreeing to travel.

Fury and Paul have twice scheduled a fight but on both occasions the Brit was forced to pull out; first through injury and then when he was banned from flying to America. The rivals buried the hatchet, however, and agreed to reschedule their showdown for early net year.

Paul confirmed he is willing to travel to Manchester or London to ensure Fury does not have any issues travelling, and set a deadline of this coming Tuesday for contracts to be signed. Fury’s promoter Frank Warren responded by saying he expected a deal to be struck, but Fury has now moved the goalposts.

He has now said he can send contracts by Wednesday, but appears to want promotional newcomer Global Titans to host the show. The outfit were responsible for Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition fight with YouTuber Deji earlier this month with Fury appearing on the undercard.

Tweeting Paul, Fury said: “If you want this fight to happen with me and Global Titans in Feb or March in any location decided by GT, we can have the contracts sent by Wednesday.” Global Titans have previously held their events in Dubai, suggesting they are unlikely to agree to the fight taking place in the UK.

Paul and Fury clashed at ringside after the latter’s hastily-arranged exhibition fight in Dubai with Fury’s dad John joining in to call out Paul. The YouTube star later took to social media to call on Warren to agree a deal.

He wrote: “Dear Frank Warren, I agree to fight Tommy in Manchester or London in February. I’ll come to his country, no more running. His baby is due then and you’ve said it’s no issue. Since John [Fury’s dad] is adamant we’ve agreed, I am giving you seven days to present a signed contract by Tommy or I’m moving on.”
