Jake Paul has reportedly offered Tommy Fury a massive £1.6million ($2million) purse to face him in the ring. The news comes after Paul revealed he had sent Fury a seven-figure contract that is six times more lucrative than his last payday against Rolly Lambert on the Floyd Mayweather vs Deji Olatunji undercard in Dubai.

“Tommy Fury…the contract is with your team. 7 figures. 6x what you made in your last fight. You signing right?” Tweeted the YouTube star.

Now, thanks to YouTube boxing commentator Wade Plem, the exact amount has been leaked. Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “BREAKING: I Just spoke to a source w/ inside knowledge of the Jake and Tommy fight negotiations that CONFIRMED @tommytntfury has been offered 2 Million Dollars to fight @jakepaul…”

The massive offer is equal to the combined purse of Paul and Tyron Woodley when they rematched each other in December.

Fury and Paul have been scheduled to face each other on two occasions to no avail. Ahead of their first date in December 2021, Fury pulled out of the contest with a broken rib before their August encounter was cancelled when TNT was denied entry to the United States – where the fight was due to take place.

Since then, both parties have teased the idea of a third attempt and it appears genuine efforts have now been made to make it happen.
