JAKE PAUL claimed he has already struck an agreement to rematch Tommy Fury in 2024.
The YouTuber-turned boxer was handed his first defeat in February after losing a split-decision to Fury in Saudi Arabia.
But he snubbed an immediate rematch to instead return with a victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
Meanwhile Fury now faces Paul’s arch rival KSI on Saturday in Manchester.
But according to Paul himself, he has set out to rematch Fury next year after the pair exchanged unlikely direct messages online.
He said on NELK Boys podcast: “We’re in talks. We’ve DMd back and forth like, ‘Let’s do the rematch in 2024.’ So he’s down.”

Paul, 26, then claimed no matter the result of KSI’s fight with Fury, he still wants to settle their bitter feud in the ring.
He said: “Look Tommy, KSI, whatever happens there both of those fights I want.
“I want both of them regardless of what happens. Yes, win lose or draw I want the Tommy Fury rematch and I want to fight KSI.”
KSI, 30, insisted that he turned his attention to Fury after failing in talks to fight Paul, whose brother Logan, 28, lost to the Londoner in 2019.

And KSI hinted he could retire from boxing if he beats 24-year-old Fury in a bid to further wind up his arch enemy.
But Paul has urged KSI to fight him no matter what happens this Saturday.
He said: “KSI if you beat Tommy go crazy bro, let that s*** rub your ego, say whatever you want to say.
“But, guess what? Just because you maybe beat Tommy you didn’t beat me. Man to man and styles make fights, everyone knows that.”
