It is the third time the fight has been scheduled after Fury withdrew due to a broken rib suffered while training and Visa issues stopped him from travelling to the United States.

As he juggles family life and his boxing career, his older brother WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has proved it can be done.

The Gypsy King spent weeks by the side of his baby daughter Athena in 2021, after she was born prematurely and was jogging around the hospital car parks as he trained for his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.

The father-of-six was also boxing in Ireland on the same night his eldest daughter was born in 2009.

“Tommy is getting paid well, and lots of people have to miss out on family things for their work,” Tyson said during a recent interview, according to The Daily Mail.

Fury added: “Tommy is his own person, so he has to do his own thing.

“My dad has trained him and advised him, and he has all his own people working around him.

“The only things he asks me for advice on are; trash talk, marriage and rearing kids.”

Tyson has joked that Tommy can stay in Saudi Arabia and become Ronaldo’s personal trainer if he fails to beat Jake Paul.

John Fury has vowed to retire his son from the sport if he does not win the highly-anticipated bout.

Fury is currently on an eight-fight winning streak and last fought professionally in April on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte at Wembley.

He took time off from his boxing career in 2019 to star in the fifth series of ITV2 dating reality television show Love Island, in which he finished as runner-up with Molly-Mae Hague.
