Tommy Fury has twice been withdrawn from fighting Jake Paul
An injured rib last December and US visa issues this August saw the 2019 Love Islander pulled out of the pay-per-view paydays.
And Fury’s hopes of rescheduling for a third time were dashed after Paul signed to face UFC legend on October 29.
But in the meantime, opposing camps have held talks to finally get the fight done, which would be one final effort.
Paul told SunSport: “This is his last chance, last chance for Tommy.
“And I’m still not sure if we’ll really run that, it’s just an idea, our teams are talking. But there might be bigger fights.
“When I beat Anderson Silva, a lot more people are going to want to fight me, so there might be bigger names out there and more interesting opportunities.
“It could happen and if it does I’m happy to come to the UK.”
Paul, 25, prepares for the biggest fight of his career this month against Brazilian Silva, 47, who is also 4-1 in the ring.

But when his management team were in Manchester for Amanda Serrano’s latest fight, Fury, 23, was also in attendance.
The unbeaten pair even shared a FaceTime call and agreed to revive talks for a trio of times.
But if Fury’s travel woes continue, Paul will be forced to cross enemy lines to get his hands on the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson.
The American boxed in an exhibition bout in England in 2018, beating KSI’s brother Deji.
And such was the thrill of being the bad guy, Paul is ready to take on both Fury and his fans with another revenge mission across the pond.
He said: “I love the UK fans, I love the UK fans that hate me. I loved fighting over there.
“It’s just such a spectacle, interacting with the fans there, I always love putting on a show and that’s what I love more than anything, honestly.
“So I would love to come there and have it be a whole circus.”
Paul is currently in his Puerto Rico training base preparing to fight Silva, his biggest test to date.
The Brazilian is also 4-1 in the ring and his first opponent with a recognised boxing record.
Paul has been sidelined for the year after Fury’s latest pullout and replacement Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, also withdrawing amid a weight row.
But there will be no backup option in place for Silva if lightening was to remarkably strike again.
Paul confirmed: “We’re done with the backup thing. Last event proved that is a nightmare, Tommy pulled out and the backup was Hasim.
“Now Hasim is super famous when nobody knew who he was, now he’s all over the place, he’s damn near a household name because of that whole situation.
“Then the ‘backup guy’ bailed out and ruined everything. So we’re done with the backup s***.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring is a practice session designed to improve boxing skills . Boxers learn to train their mind and bodies during sparring sessions. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
