And they’ll take advantage of Saturday’s unified light heavyweight title bout between Artur Beterbiev, 38, and Anthony Yard, 31.

SunSport understand that Paul will be at Wembley Arena to face Fury in the ring.

The fight announcement could be as early as today, making it the third time the two have attempted to stake their bragging rights and reputation.

Fury, 23, was forced to withdraw in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then in August last year amid U.S. visa issues.

Travel woes continue today, with Britain and Saudi Arabia becoming the frontrunners to host a bitter match.

Paul, 26, even offered to go to Manchester on 18 February to fight Fury on enemy soil.

However, a week later in Saudi Arabia a more favorable deal was offered and the race was won.

Paul and Fury become the latest prizefighters convinced to go to the desert.

Anthony Joshua, 33, has boxed twice in Saudi Arabia, most recently losing to 36-year-old Oleksandr Usyk in August.

And now Usyk is in talks with Tommy’s brother Tyson, 34, as the undisputed Middle East title decider for the heavyweight’s first ever four-belt title.

Fury’s final boxing took place at a last-minute exhibition with Laurie Lambert, 33, in Dubai in November.

Paul was the special guest commentator for the night and hit six rounds from ringside.

It’s been a month since the American defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, 6-0 in eight rounds.

And it kept the undefeated pair on track, finally settling the score that was drawn.
