Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul 'verbal agreement' made with fight date settled

John Fury has claimed that a verbal agreement for his son Tommy to fight against Jake Paul in February has been made following the pair's heated exchange on Sunday night.

It comes after some entertaining scenes as Fury and Paul had a heated exchange following the Love Island star's fight against Rolly Lambert. It was a hastily arranged fight for Fury, with the 15-1-0 cruiserweight Lambert stepping in at the last minute following Paul Bamba's withdrawal.

Paul was commentating on the DAZN broadcast of the fight, which took place at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Deji. During the contest he made a number of derogatory remarks which were directed towards Fury but did not hint that any agreement had been made.
