The Problem Child has been gunning for revenge since suffering his first professional defeat, which he hopes to avenge the same time next year.

In a scathing rant at bitter rival KSI, Paul tweeted: “This clown… tried to fight D***o Dan [Dillon Danis] who has never boxed and put a dehydration clause on him.

“Fought a 40-year-old who hadn’t fought for 3 years and put a rehydration clause on him before elbowing him.

“Now trying to squeeze Tommy.

“I elevated Tommy, my son is now worth a lot more than the $1.5M offers you making. Tommy, February we run it back.”

Former Love Island star Fury is open to running it back with Paul but insists the fight will be on his terms.

During a recent appearance on Soccer AM, the 24-year-old said: “I’m down for the rematch.

“I’ll fight him tomorrow, it’s not an issue.

“But does he want it now? I’m not so sure.

“He was the one barking up the hill, but I’m sitting on the top of that hill now.

The former Disney star is set to throw down with Diaz in a Dallas dust-up in August and is confident of getting back in the win column in emphatic fashion.

He said: “This is a big fight, this is a fight that I wanted for a long time.

“He got out of his UFC contract and this is probably the biggest fight of the year only topping me versus Tommy [Fury].

“So I want to make big events, big fights happen and strike while the iron’s hot.

“He was a free agent, let’s run it, make it happen, settle the s*** talk and I’m ready for war.

“I’m excited to be here, thank you for having me out. Dallas, I love y’all and I’ma do what Conor McGregor couldn’t do and I’ma knock this man out.”
