      “Any real boxer. Not an MMA fighter that you’re bigger than. Somebody your weight. Get him a real fight. Test him out.
      “Not somebody in the top-10, just a real fighter that we can say, ‘OK, Jake, you fought such and such, he was ranked 15,’ or something, and we can gauge from there.”

      Hasim Rahman Jr
      When Fury was withdrawn from fighting Paul in August amid a US visa issue, Rahman, 31, signed as his replacement.
      But a weight disagreement saw the bout scrapped on just one weeks notice, with Rahman instead returning at heavyweight against Greg Hardy.
      He was beaten over four rounds, making the son of a legend an enticing option for Paul, should he be hellbent on facing an established boxer.

      The American heckled from ringside and the two later clashed post-fight with security having to restrain them as their rivalry hit new heights.
      Fury’s dad John at one point even ripped off his top and offered to fight Paul bare-knuckle in the ring.
      But as cringe as the viral moment may have been, Hearn can appreciate promotional gold when he sees it.
      He told Matchroom’s YouTube channel: “I mean John Fury – it’s a circus.

      Fury has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, after suffering a rib injury last December and US visa issues in August.
