Jake Paul has seemingly come up with a new seven-figure contract for arch-rival Tommy Fury for their potential boxing match.

Paul (6-0, 4 KOs) and Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) were first scheduled to face one another in a professional boxing bout back in December 2021. However, Fury withdrew from their scheduled matchup due to a bacterial chest infection and a rib injury.

The duo was rebooked to fight in August of this year. However, UK's Fury was reportedly denied entry into the U.S. owing to his family's alleged connections with accused criminal boss Daniel Kinahan of the Kinahan cartel.

Resultantly, Fury had to pull out of his fight against his American foe yet again. While there appeared to be a thaw in their long-running rivalry, Paul recently sparked new life into it by attending Fury's exhibition boxing bout against Rolly Lambert.

'TNT' outworked Lambert in a relatively uneventful fight at the Mayweather vs. Deji boxing event earlier this month.

Meanwhile, 'The Problem Child' was present ringside and kept heckling Tommy Fury. The 23-year-old Fury and his 58-year-old father, former professional boxer John Fury, later sounded off on the 25-year-old Paul from inside the ring.

Jake Paul has subsequently revealed that his next boxing match will likely transpire in February 2023 and that he'll be negotiating with three potential opponents for the fight.

The cruiserweight pugilist later tweeted out an offer to former UFC star Nate Diaz, challenging him to a fight.

Furthermore, Paul has now posted another tweet directed towards Tommy Fury. Claiming that he's offering 'TNT' six times more than what the latter made in his last fight, Paul wrote:

"Tommy Fury…the contract is with your team. 7 figures. 6x what you made in your last fight. You're signing right?"

Logan Paul lambasts Tommy Fury for not fighting Jake Paul

Jake Paul's older brother and fellow YouTuber-turned-boxer, Logan Paul, recently spoke to The Schmo and took multiple jibes at Tommy Fury. 'The Maverick' suggested that Fury was evading a fight against his brother. He then mockingly praised 'TNT' for doing so.

Watch Logan Paul knock down Anderson Silva:

Logan Paul insinuated that 'TNT' would never live up to the high standards set by his older half-brother, WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury.

Referring to Tommy Fury as a "nice kid," Paul claimed that 'TNT' prefers being insulted rather than fighting 'The Problem Child.' He stated:

"Let's be honest, I think Tommy made the right decision [by pulling out against Jake Paul], although everyone for the rest of his life will be like, 'You're a p**sy, your older brother's a man, and you're not, and you're a disgrace to your family.'"
