Jake Paul will return to action on December 18

Jake Paul's next appearance inside the boxing ring will be on December 18. 'The Problem Child' will take on boxing champion Tyson Fury's half-brother Tommy Fury.

In an Instagram post, Paul revealed that he was secretly training for seven weeks before 'TNT' finally signed the fight contract.

"I was secretly in camp for 7 weeks before Tommy signed the contract while he was at the club partying, smoking cigars at his brothers fight, and eating Krispy Kreme’s on cute dates with Molly. For the first time in my career the oddsmakers made me the underdog for this fight. I LOVE IT. I’ve been the underdog my whole life. Always been counted out. Always had the uphill battle. All of my opponents have cut corners and taken me lightly. By this time it’s too late to make changes to try and beat me :) Good luck Tommy. December 18th your career is over."

Both Fury and Paul are undefeated as professional boxers. Fury won his last encounter against Anthony Taylor via unanimous decision. Meanwhile, Paul is coming off a split decision victory over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
