Tommy Fury is locked in talks to reschedule his fight with Jake Paul but the situation has a "long way to go" before being resolved.
The British star was set to meet Paul last year but a broken rib and chest infection forced him to withdraw from their planned December date. Paul has announced he will return to the ring on August 6 at Madison Square Garden, with Fury expected to be in the running to face him.
Despite the heated rivalry with his son, John Fury believes Paul is important for the sport and is bringing new eyes to all of his fights. "We’re looking at the Jake Paul situation but there’s a long way to go with it,’ Fury Senior told Metro, via Freebets. "That’s still in negotiation and up in the air, the lawyers are dealing with it as we speak. If not August for Tommy’s next fight, it’ll be September because we’re busy ourselves up until then.
