Tommy Fury offers to fight Jake Paul for FREE despite rival's £2million offer

Tommy Fury has told Jake Paul he will fight him for FREE in either London or Manchester next month.

Fury's comments come after Paul told Mirror Fighting that he is also making a third push to get the fight made. The American has offered to fight in Manchester next month, as he seeks to finally face off against the younger brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson. Both previous bouts were cancelled when the Brit pulled out.

That has led to Fury issuing his own response, declaring "it's gone past money for me now" and emphatically stating: "I just want to fight you and put an end to you."

“I’m seeing Jake Paul s*** all over the internet,” declared Fury on Instagram. “You offered Paddy Pimblett £1million to spar, you offered Tyson £1million bet about some b******* or other… but you don’t want to pay me much more to have a fight.

“Well I’ll go one better than that, as it’s gone past money for me now, I’m not bothered. I’ll fight you for free in Manchester or London next month, not a problem. So let’s see how game you are.

“Promoters are getting nothing, me and you get nothing. All proceeds will go to charity. I just want to fight you and put an end to you. Because all this money and everything has gone on too long. I just want to fight you now.

“Manchester or London, next month. We get nothing, all proceeds to charity. Take it or leave it.”

Paul told Mirror Fighting that he is willing to come to the UK to fight Fury in six weeks time - if the Brit will finally put pen to paper on a deal. The social media star is desperate to settle the pair's long-standing feud.

"I have done everything in my power to make the fight happen against this 8-0 boxer, including offering to go to Manchester for February 18 in partnership with Frank and George Warren," Paul told Mirror Fighting on Friday. "I'm looking at any other alternative to make this fight work."

Paul followed up the interview on Twitter by telling Fury: “I will come to your land, to your backyard, to your house. But of course you won’t be home. Son and pappy [John Fury] are all show but no shows.”

YouTube star Paul has had six professional fights since first stepping between the ropes, defeating three MMA world champions, knocking out both Bellator and ONE FC champion Ben Askren and ex-UFC title holders Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley

Fury and Paul's feud started in the beginning of 2021, almost two years ago, when the pair began to go back-and-forth on social media. They first came head-to-head when the Brit appeared on the undercard of Paul's first fight with Tyron Woodley, and have since agreed to fight twice, with both being cancelled due to issues on Fury's end.

The first time, in December of 2021, the pair were due to square off in Florida but Fury picked up a rib injury in training. The following August, they booked to fight in Madison Square Garden but a travel issue prevented the Brit from attending
