Tommy Fury wants to fight on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte in April to set up a rescheduled clash with Jake Paul.
Fury was supposed to fight Paul last December but pulled out less than two weeks before the fight due to a broken rib and chest infection.
The Love Island star admitted he was in "a dark place" after not being able to fight Paul and thinks his rival got off the hook by fighting Tyron Woodley instead.
Now fully recovered from his illness and injury, Fury is hoping to compete on the undercard of his brother Tyson's world title clash on April 23.
"I'd look to see the [Paul] fight happen by the back end of the year. I'm not really waiting around for it, he knows I'm ready to fight at all times," he told Sky Sports.
"I've put that out there countless times, I'm not the issue here. If the man wanted to fight we'd have a rescheduled date by now.
"The ball's in his court, I'm ready to fight whenever. I would like to see it happen at the end of the year, I know Frank [Warren] is still trying to reach out to him and stuff like that.
"I do think the fight is still there as he's not daft, who else is he going to fight? He's got nobody else to fight. This fight is the biggest fight for him to take at the minute and he knows that full well.
"I think I'm looking to get a run out on Tyson's undercard next, that's the plan moving forward. Then we'll try set that fight up back end of the year."
Paul has played down a rescheduled fight with Fury and wants to fight former middleweight world titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr next.

The 25-year-old has not given a date for his next fight, but was recently pictured at his gym in Puerto Rico ahead of a potential return.
And Paul said he might change his mind on a fight with Fury if the Brit steps in the ring with his former opponent Woodley.
"He’s delusional and he sort of missed his chance and his opportunity," Paul said on ' The MMA Hour '. "I sort of want him to fight Tyron Woodley and see what happens there.
"I think Tyron would knock Tommy out, so, I almost want to have them fight. Tommy, people only know him because of me, and so I want him to go get some of your own fans, or clout, or go do some other thing."
