JAKE PAUL said he has personally reached out to Tommy Fury and warned he will “move on for good” if his latest offer is not accepted.
The pair of celebrity boxing stars are in talks to once again reschedule their pay-per-view grudge match.
Paul recently took to Twitter to accuse Fury of “ducking” him after sending out a “seven-figure” fight contract.
Now the YouTuber-turned boxer has claimed he sent his rival a direct message in a bid to get a deal over the line.
He said on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast: “Even now Tommy Fury is creating all these smoke and mirrors and he’s ducking.
“He wouldn’t respond to my DM. I sent him a DM like, ‘Yo, you have the offer in your inbox, like let’s make this fight happen for the fans.’

“He hasn’t even opened it.”
Paul went on to whip out his phone and read the alleged social media message.
He said: “I’m sending you an offer tomorrow, we’re either going to do this or move on for good as the fans are fed up.
“Look at the comments on your tweets this was a big fight and now it’s on the edge of being irrelevant.

“Your dad claims you want this, you say you want this and I want this, so sign up.”
Twice the duo have put pen to paper on a fight but both times Fury has been forced to withdraw.
Last December he suffered a rib injury and in their rehashed date of August, the Brit was hit with US visa issues which still persist today.
Paul, 25, in October beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, the biggest win in his 6-0 career.
A month later he travelled to Dubai to watch Fury, 23, box in a late-notice exhibition and the two camps agreed to fight in 2023.
And Paul claimed Silva, who had a 4-1 record in the ring, is a tougher opponent than Fury.
He said: “Tommy Fury is a ten times easier fight than Anderson Silva.
“He doesn’t have the experience, he’s never been in a tough fight, he’s only fought people who are taxi cab drivers.

“The dude isn’t tough, he’s not good. He’s never been hit, he’s never been tested.
“Not only that, he’s only fought in one six round fight, all of his fights before that have been four rounds so he’s never even gone an eight-round fight.”
