Tommy Fury signs contract to fight Jake Paul after being given 24-hour ultimatum

Tommy Fury has signed his contract to face YouTube fighter Jake Paul this summer.

The British star, 23, was set to meet Paul, 25, in the ring last year but was forced to withdraw from their planned bout in December with a broken rib and chest infection. The duo have since been in talks for several weeks after Paul announced his ring return for August 6 without a confirmed opponent.

On Wednesday, Paul issued an ultimatum to Fury on social media, tweeting: "Tommy Fury, you pulled out last year. Then you agree to fight me now but your dad is trying to pull you out again? We’ve given you everything you asked for. $2 million purse. VADA testing. Tampons. You have 24 hours to clear this up or I will never give you this opportunity again."
