Jake Paul and Tommy Fury had some unfinished business from their first battle, which was set for last year. Fury withdrew at the time owing to an injury. Then they made the decision to fight on August 6th at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. However, Fury again withdrew from the bout, claiming that he was having visa problems. But as of right now, the discussion for a potential fight between the two is on the table again. And it seems that the contract will be inked within the coming week.

Dear @FrankWarren , I agree to fight Tommy in Manchester or London in Feb. I’ll come to his country, no more running. His baby is due then & you’ve said it’s no issue.
