JAKE PAUL celebrated his 26th birthday with some gruelling training – as it emerged his fight with Tommy Fury is a “DONE DEAL.”
The American marked his big day by treating it like any other, working away in his Puerto Rico gym.
His boxing banner Most Valuable Promotions uploaded a video of Paul in a tiresome strength and conditioning drill.
The YouTuber-turned boxer was deep in a power exercise, exploding up in the air with resistance.
His brutal session came on the same day journalist Ariel Helwani reported a deal for Paul to fight Fury on February 25 was done.
It will be the third time the pair of celebrity boxing rivals have tried to settle their score in the ring.
Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid a US visa issue.
The travel woe still persists today, which left the UK and Middle East as frontrunners to host the bitter bout.
Paul even offered to travel to Manchester on February 18 and fight Fury on enemy territory.
But a more lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia a week later was proposed and looks to have won the race.

Saudi boxing boss Prince Khaled added to further speculation as he posted a video with the tune, “signed, sealed, delivered.”
Fury last boxed in Dubai in November in a last-minute exhibition against Rolly Lambert, 33.
And Paul was a special guest commentator and slammed the six-round bout from ringside.
Just a month prior, he had beaten UFC legend Anderson Silva, 46, to mark the biggest win in his 6-0 career.
Talks between Paul and Fury have been ongoing since December and an announcement now awaits after a deal has been all-but confirmed.
