JAKE PAUL is set for his return to the ring toward the end of the year as he prepares for battle with Tommy Fury.
Fury, half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson, has called for a clash with YouTube sensation Paul for months.
And now he will finally get his chance, as SunSport recently revealed the pair are due to clash in a December bout after a breakthrough in negotiations.
Paul last fought in August, beating Tyron Woodley by split decision, while Fury outpointed MMA fighter Anthony Taylor on the undercard.
Paul vs Fury will represent the former’s first dalliance with a fully-fledged pro boxer in his short career so far.
And although Fury has predominantly fought boxers throughout his career, many regard Paul to be one of his toughest tests yet.

What has been said?
“This is my official response to Tyson Fury,” Paul said after Tyson told Tommy he should change his name if he loses to Paul.
“He just said that if his little brother ‘Timmy’ Fury loses to me that he will make him quit boxing and he’s gonna have to change his last name.
“He will no longer allowed to be Fury. So you know me, I’m a betting man I like to make bets. So I’m putting my money up right now. Tommy, if you beat me I will give you an extra $500,000.
“However, if you lose you have to change your last name for one year to Tommy ‘Fumbles’. Deal or no deal? I’m putting my money up. Sign, seal, deliver it.”
“This is an easy fight for me. A real easy fight,” Fury said. “I’ve been doing this job since I was 7.”
“He’s not a boxer. He’s gonna see that when we fight.
“I will end his boxing career. There’s no more Jake Paul after we fight. That’s it.”
