Tommy Fury's dad confirms Jake Paul fight plan as date set for grudge fight

Tommy Fury's dad John has confirmed the rising star will take on long-term rival Jake Paul on February 25.

Fury has been a long-term rival of YouTube star Paul who has launched his career in the boxing ring, with the pair first agreeing to a fight after the American's win over Tyron Woodley. The first attempt at making a showdown collapsed with Fury forced to withdraw, before a second signed deal collapsed with the British star unable to travel to the US for the fight.

Now it appears a deal has been agreed for the pair to do battle at the third time of asking, with Paul deciding to give his rival another chance despite initial reluctance. And Fury's dad John, who has been at the centre of the rivalry for several months, has vowed his son will accept nothing less than an early stoppage win.
