The highly anticipated fight was due to take place in December 2021, but Fury had to pull out due to an illness.

Paul, who is famous for being part of ‘Team 10’ amongst other things, took to social media to claim Fury was backing out of the rematch, saying:  “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. You have 24 hours to clear this up or I will never give you this opportunity again.”

The rematch was in limbo of sorts, with people unsure if it would actually take place. Paul, who has had a few bouts in recent years was the catalyst for the recent confirmation, taking to twitter to say: “Tommy Fury and boxers like him are the reason this started to die. Tommy, you have 24 hours to fix this” accompanied by a one minute and 40 second video.

A brief social media exchange between the two saw the former Love Island star tweet ‘See you August 6th pal’.

It’s a place that the Fury family are familiar with, as Fury’s recently retired brother, Tyson, went to war with Deontay Wilder at the venue.

Is there genuine hatred between the two?

It’s common that when a fight is coming up, opposite ends will act like they really despise the other, to increase knowledge of the fight and viewership.

This was with Conor McGregor v Floyd Mayweather, when it came to light that McGregor didn’t mind the latter.
