      And the two publicly agreed to fight at a catchweight of 180lb in a winner-take-all bout with only the victor receiving pay.
      Paul told the Daily Mail: “It was good that we agreed on a weight, and we agreed on winner takes all. That’s pretty exciting. 
      “I thought the weight was going to be more of an issue, but it actually looks like it’s starting to progress.
      “But who knows if he’ll actually follow through in the year. I’m ready whenever.

      “KSI has said December, so whenever he wants to get embarrassed, whenever he wants to be unconscious, I’m ready whenever. I’ve always been ready.”
      The bad blood dates back to KSI’s pair of fights with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, drawing the first and winning the rematch.
      But he would take three years out to focus on his music career, since winning three comeback fights.
      Meanwhile Paul, 26, is now 6-0 and most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October.

      He is set to face the first professional boxer in Tommy Fury, 23, next on February 26 in Saudi Arabia.
      Fury has twice pulled out before due to a rib injury and US visa issue although the rivals hope it will be third time lucky.
      For KSI, 29, he is set to return in the summer maid rumoured talks with 9-0 boxer and millionaire businessman Joe Fournier, 40.
      It all leads to a legacy-defining fight with his bitter enemy to close out 2023.
      And Paul said: “Like I’ve said before, anyone, any time, any place. I’ve said that and proven it.
      “It’s going to be a good one. It’s going to be one for the history books.”

      “I have the wrestling background, I have the better boxing than all of them, so I’ve really just got to learn the kicks and the takedown defence.”
      Paul, 26, first returns to the ring on February 26 Saudi Arabia in the hope of finally fighting Tommy Fury, 23.

      Paul and Fury, 26 and 23 respectively, were due to face off in a press conference on Wednesday but the latter didn’t show up.
      And back-up opponent Mike Perry believes Paul should sub him in for the unreliable former Love Island star.
      During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Platinum said: “They’ve got to kick Tommy Fury, and they’ve got to do it now.
      “They cannot wait until the last minute. They cannot wait until the weigh-ins. They can’t let Fury keep calling all the shots.

      “What he did to them is [irredeemable]. But nope, he gets another $2million, and he gets to go to an even nicer location. It’s really weird.
      “But at some point, they have to take control if they want to be respected, and it’s a hard thing that MVP’s [Most Valuable Promotions] had. MVP is new and boy have they had to pay for an education.
      “They’ve gotten a rougher go of anyone else ever, but at some point they have to make it clear that they are in charge.
      “And today when he skipped the press conference, his second time, you cut him, you bring Perry in, and that is it.

      “It’s a mistake that MVP is making… I would have done it an hour ago.
      “They get to the press conference, and he’s not there, and the world’s watching, that’s when you make the reveal.
      “That’s when you bring in Mike Perry, to try and bring it in after.
      “They’re in a little bit more difficult spot. But they had to see that coming. He’s already done it to them once.
      “They had to see, ‘Hey, there’s a slight possibility that when we get here he’s not here.’
      “Somewhere he missed his flight, somewhere he didn’t check into the hotel room.
      “They should have had a word and had enough time to scramble, and had Mike Perry there. They should have moved on with it.”
      Paul was seething with Fury’s no-show but was hardly surprised he skipped the presser.
      He said: “I’m used to his behaviour at this point, he’s unprofessional and he’s a flake.

      Paul’s makeshift face-off with TNT came after he lambasted him for skipping the presser.

      Fury, 23, becomes the first opponent Paul, 26, will face with a recognised professional boxing record.
      And he has boasted of beating better opposition than the American when he was just a teenager.
      Fury had only 12 amateur bouts but did pick up development championships during that short period.
      In 2016, he reached the National Association of Boys and Girl Clubs final in the North West Region.

      And he went on to beat Mehran Khan, later turning professional in 2018.

      Fury was forced to pull out in the past due to a rib injury in December 2021 and amid US visa issues last August.

      “I was beating people better than you when I was 14, when you was messing about on Disney Channel, so don’t come round here pretending you’re about it when you’re not.”

      He told iFL TV: “When he beats Jake Paul I’d like to see him fight the brother Logan.
      “If not Logan there may be a British celebrity boxing match like KSI, maybe. I was going to say another guy, but they’re all a bit smaller.”
      KSI, 29, twice boxed Logan, 27, drawing their initial exhibition before winning their rematches as pros in 2019.
      He has since won three more times, most recently knocking out YouTuber Faze Temperrr, 29, in January.

      Logan is yet to make a boxing return since taking American legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, the distance in the June 2021 exhibition.

      It is the THIRD time they look to settle the score after Tommy pulled out in the past amid injury and visa issues.
      They put bragging rights, reputations and unbeaten records on the line on January 26 in Saudi Arabia.

      “But my soul goal since starting boxing has always been the same it’s to be a world champion.
      “And I do believe I’ve got what it takes to be there and get to that level.
      “I do believe everyone writes me off because of Love Island, there’s a lot of jealousy and a lot of stuff going on.
      “I’m going to beat him and put and end to him once and for all.
      “Then guess what? I’m going to get back on my route, win some titles and go down in history.
      “Then, I’ll bob my hat and I’ll leave the sport. That’s my goal.”

      ‘He’s a show fighter’ – Jake Paul backed to beat Tommy Fury because Brit ‘can’t punch properly’

      It will be the YouTuber-turned prizefighter’s first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record in his 6-0 career.
      But Rockhold – who left the UFC this year – blasted 23-year-old Fury’s skills and predicted Paul to win the Saudi Arabia fight.
      He told InsideFighting: “You gotta have a dog in you. He ain’t got no dog in him. I’ve watched him fight. He doesn’t even finish his punches.
      “You know, he has no commitment to finishing it. He’s a show. He’s a show fighter. And I got Jake.

      “And I don’t even think Jake has that much, like, he has commitment, at least. He doesn’t have patience.
      “He doesn’t have that f***ing mentality when he gets in the game, I think he’s blinded. He’s got that deer in the headlights, but at least he throws.”
      Paul, 26, beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his last fight in October, his biggest win to date.
      But Rockhold, 38, mocked the victory and called to fight the American after mutually parting with the UFC.

      “I got some freedom to do some things and as you can see, I like throwing hands these days.
      “Fight people your own f***ing weight. Straight up. And champions, a real champion, a real contender.
      “A real someone who can put you on your ass. not old guys, 55-year-olds, or lightweights.
