    Revealing he’s ‘p***ed off’ with slow negotiations, Paul also taunted Fury by claiming ‘no one gives a f*** about you’.
    Fury, 22, signed a two-fight deal with network Showtime and made his US debut in late August, beating Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32.
    Later that night, Paul, 24, scored the biggest win of his career against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, over the eight-round distance.
    Two offers were then turned down by Fury, who believed they were ‘not even worth talking about’.
    That led to Paul’s public offer to increase it to $1m off his own back because his management were ready to move on to other targets.
    But Chalmers is now ready to take Fury’s place, telling Paul: “With all due respect, if you’re looking at fighting someone from the UK who does big numbers you’re looking at the wrong person.

    “Just look at the viewings every Bellator card I was on, sold out my home town arena twice. Let’s fight Jake Paul.”
    It remains to be seen if Paul takes up the offer after he called out Fury for a final time.
    Paul said: “This is the last time I’m speaking about this guy if we don’t end up fighting because I’m starting to get p***** off.
    “Tommy’s about to fumble the biggest bag of his life. Tommy, I made you famous, I gave you the biggest payday [reportedly $1million] of your life.
    “I gave you the chance to shine in front of the world and now I’m offering to quadruple the biggest payday of your life that I gave you to fight you.
    “This is what happens when you give someone clout and an ego, they start to think they’re better than they actually are.

    “I have dozens of other fighters calling me out every week, Tommy. You’re replaceable.
    “Tommy, no one gives a f*** about you. If it wasn’t for your older brother [Tyson Fury], who I respect, or your catfish girlfriend [Molly-Mae Hague], we all made you famous. You didn’t make yourself famous.
    “Tommy, it’s like Eminem said ‘you only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime’. Make the right choice.”

    The 33-year-old, who had two knockouts in MMA, is now training at esteemed boxing coach Adam Booth’s gym.
    Booth has trained ex-world champions David Haye, George Groves and Andy Lee, and currently has a stable of rising talent.
    That includes Josh Kelly, Michael Conlan, Harlem Eubank and Shannon Courtenay.
    And it was Sunderland’s Kelly and 2012 London Olympics bronze medalist Conlan who let the cat out the bag that Chalmers was turning over.

    The pair called for their new gym-mate to fight YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, who is 2-0 since debuting in 2020.
    Conlan, 29, said on Matchroom’s podcast: “Speaking about Aaron actually – we want Jake Paul. Aaron’s a celebrity, we want Jake Paul.
    “Aaron will f*** Jake Paul up. I will say it now, he will f*** Jake Paul up.
    “Jake Paul’s a b****. He’ll f*** him up. Simple as that.”
    Kelly, 26, added: “Jake Paul’s never a cruiserweight, either. He should be getting that weight off, getting down.
    “Aaron’s got what, nearly what three million followers on Instagram and Twitter? If that fight doesn’t sell what will?”
    Conlan then urged promoter Eddie Hearn to get in touch with them to set up the fight with 24-year-old Paul.
