But the popular reality TV couple have returned home and Fury is already training again as he sipped an ice coffee.

He posted on Instagram: “Straight to the gym.”

Fury, 23, was due to fight Paul, 25, in December but was forced to pull out after suffering a broken rib and suffering with a chest infection in training.

The YouTube star instead knocked out replacement Tyron Woodley, 40, who he initially beat on points in August.

It added to KOs over gamer ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.

Meanwhile, Fury returned in April beating Pole Daniel Bocianski, 27, on points on the undercard of brother Tyson’s fight at Wembley.

It was later rumoured that he was in talks to fight Paul once again, who has announced he will make his return on August 6 in New York.

Promoter Eddie Hearn claimed the celebrity rivals are in negotiations as he gave a damning prediction on the bout.

Hearn told JOE: “It’s a 50-50 fight.

“It’s a funny one because it’s terrible for Tommy Fury if he can’t beat Jake Paul, but I don’t think he can beat Jake Paul.

“Jake Paul didn’t like the fact that I said he was average, but they are both average.

“I don’t mean that disrespectfully and by the way, there are a lot of average boxers. Average is not bad and it’s not good.

“So I said to Jake Paul, ‘I actually think that’s a compliment for you, I’m not saying you’re a terrible boxer I’m just saying you’re not very good’.

“The same advice to Tommy Fury so in that case, it’s a 50-50 fight in that respect.”
