Jake Paul has revealed that he intends to fight against Tommy Fury next year after two cancelled fights in the past 12 months ahead of his return to the ring against Anderson Silva.
Paul, 25, takes on Silva this weekend as he makes his long awaited boxing comeback after two failed attempts to fight Fury. Paul has revealed to Mirror Fighting that his intention is to finally make a fight happen after the Love Island star withdrew from their August 6 date following Visa issues.
Paul owns his own promotional company, Most valuable promotions, but has revealed that he intends to pass control of management of the fight to Frank Warren's Queensberry Boxing company following the issues they have had in making the past two fights happen. Warren was responsible for getting Fury into the ring for his win against Daniel Bocianski at Wembley back in April.

Paul has lost millions trying to finally get a fight against Fury, with the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson having withdrawn from their proposed fight last December citing a combination of injury and illness. However, the intention is to finally arrange a fight in 2023. with Paul explaining the chances in the interview this week.
"There's no real game being played," Paul explained. "I do think he got scared the second time, and maybe he'll get scared again but it is what it is. I just want to make him pay for that and I think where things are going now we've given up on trying to put on an event with him.
"I think his team is doing it now, they're the ones working on it and they're the ones taking all of the risk if Tommy pulls out. So financially I would be protected in that case and I would just love to see this kid who's a delusional pretty boy that talks a lot of s*** asleep on the canvas."
Fury is expected to fight against 5-2 Paul Bamba next month, with Paul unimpressed with his decision, saying that he needs to front up and enter the ring with him.
"Personally, for me, it's something that needs to happen," he added. "It goes beyond that - he's embarrassing. I don't know what he's doing. He's not going to get better fighting against trash workers and tomato cans."
