Tommy Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, has given an update on negotiations with Jake Paul after the YouTuber laid down a 7-day deadline to agree on a fight contract.
The rival between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury is well documented at this point, as the YouTuber and British reality TV star have been locked in a war of words for a few years now.
They’ve agreed to fight on two separate occasions, but both times, problems on Tommy’s end have prevented them from fighting. First, it was an injury that stopped the fight from happening, and then it was travel woes. However, the interest in a fight hasn’t gone away as the two have continued to trade words over social media.

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally agreed to a fight on August 6, 2022 – but extenuating circumstances put their bout on hold.
While Warren didn’t confirm if things will be sorted by the deadline that Jake has imposed, he clearly offered positive comments that indicate that everything will be ironed out and the two can finally square off.
Jake has already given Manchester and London as potential locations for the fight, and both arenas have availability in the date range that Warren is aiming for. Though, only time will tell if it happens.
