JAKE PAUL is in confirmed talks with Tommy Fury, but also has three other options for his next fight.
Paul is already set to start training again and is in discussion with his management team to find his next move.
It comes after the YouTuber moved to 4-0 in late August by beating ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, on points over eight rounds.
On the undercard, 2019 Love Island star Fury, brother to heavyweight champion Tyson, beat Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32.
With the pair both currently signed to American network Showtime, Frank Warren revealed negotiations for the celebrity clash are underway.
Promoter Warren told iFL TV: “We are talking at the moment, so hopefully something may happen, we’ll see. There’s a long way to go yet.”
Paul, 24, recently said Fury, 22, who is 7-0, was his priority next opponent as he wanted to fight a ‘real boxer’.
But the social media sensation has now told of his other talks with ex-UFC champions Anderson Silva, 46, and Vitor Belfort, 44.

Paul told MMA Fighting: “We’re talking to four different parties, four different fighters, and seeing which one makes the most sense.”
He later added: “The obvious ones that are on the table, it’s like Tommy, Anderson, there is a discussion with Vitor’s team.
“Just because we are so close to Triller, they’re just pingining us all the time, but there’s some names that are interesting that are more complicated.
“I just don’t want to jinx anything.”
Silva recently knocked out Tito Ortiz, 46, also formerly of the UFC, to add to his win in the ring against boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 35.
In the main-event that night, Belfort stopped the dangerously ageing and over-the hill Evander Holyfield, 58.
Afterwards, Triller – who promoted two of Paul’s fights – offered him a winner-takes-all $30million fight with the Brazilian.
Paul, who would need permission to feature on Triller from Showtime, is open to the wager, but wants proof of funds first.
He said: “I think Vitor is a lot easier of a fight than Tyron.
“He’s older, he’s on steroids and such. It doesn’t excite me as much. The money excited me.
“If they were to put the money in a bank account – an escrow account – and show proof, then maybe that’s where the conversation starts.”
