‘I think it’d be a massive fight,’ Paul told ESPN. ‘He’s fought scrubs to make himself look good. 

‘People will say the same about me, but I’ve fought guys with winning records like Ben Askren and AnEsonGib. 

‘Our teams are talking and trying to figure something out.’

YouTuber turned boxer Paul, 24, knocked out Askren last week in the first round and immediately set his sights on his potential next opponent.

Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, admitted that the younger sibling of two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson is equally as keen to enter the ring.

He told iFL TV: ‘We want to make the fight. It’s really easy – he takes 50 per cent, Tommy takes 50 per cent. Let’s get it done.’

Paul’s triumph over former UFC fighter Askren took his professional record to 3-0 and Fury was quick to call him out.

There are still several obstacles that remain in the way, however, before a date is able to be officially set for their grudge match.

Fury fought most recently in February and devastated Scott Williams inside two rounds to extend his own unblemished record.
