Jake Paul offers Tommy Fury Feb 18th date for fight in Manchester

Jake Paul is reportedly back in negotiations to fight Tommy Fury and has offered the Englishman a February 18 date in Manchester to face him.

The social media star told Mirror Fighting on Friday:

“I have done everything in my power to make the fight happen against this 8-0 boxer, including offering to go to Manchester for February 18 in partnership with Frank and George Warren. I'm looking at any other alternative to make this fight work."

The YouTuber turned boxer responded to claims of Tommy Fury being offered $2.5 million for the bout, calling it an "accurate statement” and saying:

"What I can confirm is Tommy Fury is never going to see the kind of money he is being offered to step in the ring with me. And yet he’s still on the run."

A fight between Paul and Fury has been scheduled twice before, for December 2021 and August 2022. Both bouts fell through due to Fury having to withdraw, once due to a rib injury and the other time due to a US travel ban on the Brit.
