      But they’re finally set to meet in Riyadh later this month.
      And it’ll be Fury’s first fight since he beat Daniel Bocianski at Wembley last April to continue his perfect record in the sport, which stands at 8-0.
      Meanwhile, Paul, who’s a YouTuber-turned-boxer, is also unbeaten having won each of his six professional bouts.

      His latest clash saw him defeat Anderson Silva on points in the US back in October.
      But Fury is confident the American will suffer the first defeat of his career in the Middle East.
      And reckons the fight will last no longer than four rounds, which is one more than Paul recently predicted.
      Speaking to Piers Morgan on TalkTv, he said: “I know I’m going to knock him out.

      “This fight will not go any more than four rounds.
      “The stuff that I’m doing in the gym, the people that I’m handling in the gym. There’s no way this goes the distance.”
      With plenty of trash talk between the two over the last couple of years, Piers asked Fury what he thinks of the war of wards.
      He said: “It’s part of the parcel, you know, it’s what it is. It’s stuff that we have to do.
      “It’s called the entertainment business – that’s the game that we are in and me and Jake Paul are great dance partners, and I’ve enjoyed the build-up so far. 
      “It’s going to get a lot more heated and I can’t wait but the real work starts when we get inside them ropes and social media can’t save Jake Paul.
      “His mouth can’t save him – it comes down to fighting and I’m a lot better doing that than him.”
      Older brother Tyson has urged him to talk even more and believes he should do be looking to get under his skin at every possible opportunity.
      Tyson told BT Sport: “It’s a good fight and they’re good dance partners.
      “I think Tommy needs to do a bit more talking, actually.

      “Spice it up a little bit, get in his face a bit more, and ruffle his feathers.
      “Grab him by the blonde hair and nut him maybe, I dunno.” More

      According to ESPN, April 29 is being targeted by both camps and an agreement could happen soon.
      The report also claims Usyk has closed his side of the deal for the fight to take place in Saudi Arabia.

      He said: “I think the first round will be chill and then I’ll start to figure him out after 30-45 seconds.
      “Then the second round I’ll turn it up and it shouldn’t take much more than that.
      “Tommy should get a good wealth manager, I can recommend you a few.
      “Take the money and ride off into the sunset but this is going to set your life in the direction that you should have been on before and you’re going to hate this f***ing sport after February 26.”

      But the rivalry has not stopped Logan from teaming up with the UFC, as Prime became the company’s new official global sports drink.
      It is the latest milestone in the American’s venture with former boxing opponent-turned business partner KSI.
      The pair launched hydration drink Prime in 2022 with astonishing success, even becoming a sponsor of Arsenal.
      That is despite brother Jake’s long-standing beef with KSI, which looks to be settled in the ring this year in a grudge match.

      And after Logan, 27, once again linked up with an enemy of Jake’s in White, fans claimed he was disloyal.
      One said: “Logan Paul gotta be the worst brother of all time.”
      Another said: “Ain’t no way Logan Paul done became friends with his brother’s 2 rivals: KSI and Dana White.”
      One added: “Logan Paul is the worst brother of all time. His brother has serious beef with 2 guys he does business with.”

      Jake, 26, commented on Logan’s newest partnership with the UFC and White by calling for fighters to receive a cut from the deal.
      He tweeted: “I’m always happy for my brother’s successes and while I have zero involvement in his drink, I hope UFC will share the revenue it receives with fighters.”
      In the past Jake has also been full of support in his older brother’s work with bitter enemy KSI.
      He said on a podcast: “I think it’s dope, I think it’s smart.
      “They’re doing, well, Logan is sort of carrying the whole company, but obviously KSI has got a big name, but it’s crushing it and I’m proud of Logan, and it’s very smart by him.”
      Jake has taken aim at the UFC and White’s pay structure for fighters, calling for the minimum pay to be boosted alongside health care.
      He told SunSport: “I don’t know about the fans, the feud between Dana and I has been a lot of hype and it draws a lot of media.
      “And there’s been a bunch of s**t talked back and forth but my main thing is getting the fighters paid more

      “Raising the fighter minimum to $50,000 whereas it’s at $12,000 (£9,700) now, getting them long-term healthcare. That’s what it’s mainly about.”
