Fury pulled out of facing the Youtuber due to injury but they have now agreed to a new date which is fast approaching.

‘TNT’ Fury, younger brother of world champion Tyson, took his professional record to 8 and 0 by beating Daniel Bocianski at Wembley in April.

The 23-year-old is looking to forge a successful career in the sport and is taking a huge risk in facing social media star Paul.

The American is yet to face a pro boxer but has won all five of his exhibition bouts to date and KO’d MMA star Tyron Woodley last year.

There is plenty of bad blood between Paul and Fury and it promises to be fascinating to see them in action.

The eight-round bout is set to be held on Saturday, August 6.

It is taking place at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The card will get underway from 2am on Sunday morning for UK fans with  Paul vs Fury expected at around 5am.

Paul vs Fury: What’s been said?

Jake Paul: “All jokes aside, this is my toughest test yet. You guys wanted me to fight a real boxer.

“You guys have been tormenting me day after day out, ‘fight a real boxer, fight a real boxer’.

“The answer is ‘no f***ing problem. This is as real as it gets.

“Tommy Fury comes from a bloodline of legendary fighters, the Gypsies. His brother is the heavyweight champion of the world, has never lost a fight.

“Tommy Fury has been boxing since he was 12, come through the amateurs, mauled a 10-1 boxer.

“The Fury name is just as infamous as the Mayweathers. The whole entire family know how to box.

“To put this into perspective, it would be like Tommy Fury starting a vlog channel to out-vlog me and [brother] Logan – it’s not f***ing possible.”
