He beat Paul, 28, via split-decision in Saudi Arabia despite being dropped in the eighth and final round.

Fury, 26, then followed it up by beating KSI, 32, with a controversial points verdict in Manchester.

He underwent hand surgery in the aftermath and was due to face ex-UFC star Darren Till, 32, in January in a Misfits headliner.

But Fury pulled out after Till threatened to KICK him in the head during the bout.

The reality TV favourite instead returned in May beating unknown Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic in Hungary.

Despite pulling out of his Misfits comeback earlier in the year – KSI’s manager and co-founder of the celebrity-style platform of crossover bouts is still in talks with Fury.

Mams Taylor told SunSport: “We’re in touch, so let’s see what happens.

“And I think Jake should fight Tommy Fury again, to be honest with you.”
