The pair were originally scheduled to face each other inside the squared last year in Florida.
But Love Island star Fury, 23, was forced to pull out of the eagerly-anticipated match-up through illness and injury.
Both Fury and Paul go into their dust-up with an unbeaten record, with the Brit ace 8-0 with four knockout victories.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has racked up five consecutive wins since his debut in January 2020 – recording four stoppages.

Fury’s followers were quick to offer their prediction, as one said: “Tyson you’re top boy, but I reckon Tommy will get banged.”

Speaking on his YouTube channel, former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is backing compatriot Fury to get the win.
He remarked: “I’m gonna talk about this one time and then it’s done… I say Tommy Fury gets it done.
“Tommy Fury beats Jake Paul in his backyard at Madison Square Garden, August 6.
“Then hopefully Jake Paul will disappear back to YouTube.
“Actually, hopefully Jake Paul continues to do what he does, but he just maybe will have a little bit of humble pie.”
