Jake Paul, Tommy Fury Reportedly Agree To February Fight
They were scheduled to fight twice before.
Despite getting multiple callouts from different fighters, Jake Paul seems to be looking for a second try against Tommy Fury.
Combat sports insider Ariel Helwani reported on Twitter that Paul will fight the younger half-brother of Tyson Fury on February 25.

Paul and Fury have tried to meet twice in the past – on December 19, 2021 and August 6, 2022.
The first date fell through because Fury, a 8-0 boxer, was injured and had an illness. The second date fell apart days ahead of a press conference because Fury was unable to get a visa to enter the U.S. The fight was scheduled to happen in New York.
Paul, a 6-0 boxer, instead fought former UFC champion Anderson Silva in October, which he won by a wide decision in an eight-round catchweight bout.
Fury last fought in April where he outpointed Daniel Bocianski. Before that, he met Rolly Lambert on November 13 in an exhibition bout on the Floyd Mayweather-Deji card.
