    But he snubbed a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
    It has led rival KSI, 29, to instead focus on Fury, 24, with the pair now in talks to fight.
    But Paul, 26, hit out at KSI’s offer claiming it is only worth $1.5million (£1.2m) and instead urged Fury to rematch him in February.
    He tweeted: “I elevated Tommy, my son is now worth a lot more than the $1.5M offers you making. Tommy, February we run it back.”

    KSI returned in May against millionaire nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
    But it ended in controversy after an accidental but illegal elbow knocked Fournier out.
    The result was later overturned from a KO to a no-contest.
    But after facing off with Fury in the ring afterwards, KSI is out to fight the 2019 Love Islander next.

    “Sign the damn contract and let me show you the difference between me and that fraud who only wins against retired mma pensioners.”

    Tyson Fury to be given take it or leave it offer ‘very soon’ for ‘biggest fight of his career’ in December comeback

    TYSON Fury is to be given a take it or leave it offer “very soon” for the “biggest fight of his career”.The Gypsy King will be presented with the chance to make a return to the boxing ring in December of this year.

    Fury has not fought since the end of 2022, when he beat Derek Chisora via a 10th round TKO in London.
    Talks over potential bouts with Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk have since stalled, with Fury taunting both his rivals on social media.
    However, a fight with Usyk to crown the undisputed heavyweight world champion could be back on the cards.
    That is after the Ukrainian signed with Saudi Arabian organisation Skills Challenge Entertainment.

    The organisation previously worked with Usyk for his rematch with Joshua.
    They are also behind plans for a one-night event featuring Fury vs Usyk and Joshua vs Deontay Wilder in December.
    Usyk’s signing has prompted his promoter Alex Krassyuk to reveal he will make one final offer to Fury.
    He told IFL TV: “According to my knowledge [Fury] will receive a formal written offer very soon and it will be Tyson’s decision whether to take it or leave it.

    “We’ve done everything possible to make this fight happen and the ball is on Tyson’s side.
    “It’s an offer to take it or leave it.
    “If you take it then you have the biggest fight of your career. If you hesitate or try to trade out something or try to swing around, it shows that you’re not serious.
    “And you have to relinquish the belt and retire, not for one month or one week, as you used to retire recently, but probably forever.”
    The news that Fury could still take on Usyk this year will delight boxing fans after months of failed talks over the fight.
    Earlier this week there had been suggestions his next fight could be a fourth meeting with Wilder in a mandatory title defence, much to the annoyance of fans.

    But the British superstar returned with a victory in April, beating Jermaine Franklin over 12 rounds.
    The performance drew criticism with the likes of Carl Froch and Johnny Nelson joining fans in questioning Joshua’s mindset.
    But ex-opponent Usyk has leapt to AJ’s defence, telling Boxing King Media: “I think he just needs a little more time to recover.
    “He’s a great fighter and a great personality. And who are those people who judge him? Who are the judges?

    “Have they ever entered the ring? Have they ever trained and felt that pain? They have no right to say so.
    “If you want to talk about a fighter, you have to at least once in your life get into the ring and have a sparring session.
    “At least for one round, for three minutes. Then you will have the right.”
    Usyk, 36, is set to face WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois, 25, next after his promoters won the purse bids for an August 26 bout.

    Wilder has been preparing for his latest outing at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas under the watchful eye of head trainer Malik Scott.
    A recent clip of Scott putting the former WBC heavyweight champion through his paces started doing the rounds on social media this week and sparked concerns from fight fans.
    One tweeted: “My worry for Wilder is that he gets tired quickly.
    “Early KO or risk getting gassed out before the end of the 12th round.”

    “But the way he on he’s he looks like he could fall over at any point.”
    A long-awaited grudge match with rival Anthony Joshua is on the cards for Wilder, who hasn’t fought since his brutal KO of Robert Helenius.
    The showdown, which is still very much in the works, is expected to land in Saudi Arabia.
    Wilder and Joshua, 37 and 33 respectively, were due to throw down five years ago when they held all the heavyweight hardware.

    But Wilder ended up fighting Tyson Fury – who he had three epic bouts with – Dominic Brezeale and Luis Ortiz.
    Although their feud has simmered in recent years, Wilder is still very much excited at the prospect of facing AJ.
    He told iFL TV: ‘We got a lot of different options right now at this moment in time. Joshua, everybody.
    “I think a lot of people is going to get that dream fight everyone wants to see.” More
