Fury’s last fight was staged in Dubai by newly-formed Middle Eastern promotion Global Titans.

And he appears to still have their backing as he teased an offer out to American Paul.

Fury tweeted: “If you want this fight to happen with me and @GlobalTitansFS in Feb or March in any location decided by GT, we can have the contracts sent by Wednesday.”

The 2019 Love Island star has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, after suffering a rib injury in December and US visa issues in August.

Fury’s Stateside travel restriction still persists today, leaving Paul’s side adamant the fight must take place in the UK.

Most Valuable Promotions tweeted: “Has to be Manchester or London.

“Jake Paul will not allow travel to be an excuse for this fight to not happen.”

Paul, 25, most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October, the biggest win in his 6-0 career.

Meanwhile Fury, 23, returned this month in a last-minute exhibition bout against replacement Rolly Lambert, 33.

Paul Bamba, 33, was withdrawn on the day amid a weight disagreement and Paul was a special guest commentator on the night.

After Fury cruised past six rounds, the two clashed post-fight and an agreement to fight in 2023 was struck.

Promoter Frank Warren expected a deal to be wrapped up this week but Fury hinted his purse demands were not being met.

He tweeted Paul: “I’m glad to see you’ve agreed to the location and time, now you can tell your team to get round the table and negotiate properly instead of trying to hide behind the old terms/ agreements put in place 2 years ago.

“I’m ready and waiting to get this over the line.”

But Paul responded: “You and your papa are both frauds.

“My team and I will never risk a quid on you again. I’m not paying you a pence you dimwit so there’s no old agreement / terms.

“My team has spoken to the Warrens multiple times this week and the deal is your promoter is paying you. Sign the paperwork.”
