But it’s been suggested Love Islander Fury is set to withdraw from the grudge match.

And it’s been claimed former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley will replace TNT.

Although Fury’s withdrawal from the bout has not been confirmed, SunSport understands his participation in the bout is up in the air.

Fury, 22, has been battling the cold throughout his training camp – which was initially due to take place in America.

Promoter Frank Warren recently revealed: “Tommy had a little bit of a cold but hopefully he is going to be okay.

“We are up in Morecambe [on Wednesday] so hopefully we will know more then, but he is up for it and he wants to fight.

“He can’t wait for the fight and I know certainly from Jake’s perspective he can’t wait for the fight.”

The youngest Fury brother was supposed to train for his showdown with the YouTuber in America under the tutelage of Sugarhill Steward and brother Tyson.

But the reality TV star has done the bulk of his camp in Morecambe under the guidance of dad John, who stole the show during an x-rated pre-fight press conference late last month.

If Fury has indeed pulled out of the bout, the news will enrage Paul – wh had a feeling the Brit wouldn’t make it to fight night.

During their foul-mouthed presser, The Problem Child roared at Fury and said: “Make sure you show up.

“Just make sure you show up.”
