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

SunSport understand that Paul will be at Wembley Arena to face Fury in the ring. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Travel woes continue today, with Britain and Saudi Arabia becoming the frontrunners to host a bitter match.<\/p>\n

Paul, 26, even offered to go to Manchester on 18 February to fight Fury on enemy soil.<\/p>\n

However, a week later in Saudi Arabia a more favorable deal was offered and the race was won.<\/p>\n

Paul and Fury become the latest prizefighters convinced to go to the desert. <\/p>\n

Anthony Joshua, 33, has boxed twice in Saudi Arabia, most recently losing to 36-year-old Oleksandr Usyk in August. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Fury’s final boxing took place at a last-minute exhibition with Laurie Lambert, 33, in Dubai in November.<\/p>\n

Paul was the special guest commentator for the night and hit six rounds from ringside.<\/p>\n

It’s been a month since the American defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, 6-0 in eight rounds.<\/p>\n

And it kept the undefeated pair on track, finally settling the score that was drawn. <\/p>\n
