Fury, 23, becomes the first opponent Paul, 26, will face with a recognised professional boxing record.
And he has boasted of beating better opposition than the American when he was just a teenager.
Fury had only 12 amateur bouts but did pick up development championships during that short period.
In 2016, he reached the National Association of Boys and Girl Clubs final in the North West Region.
And he went on to beat Mehran Khan, later turning professional in 2018.
For the last two years, he has been linked with a grudge match against YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.
Fury was forced to pull out in the past due to a rib injury in December 2021 and amid US visa issues last August.
But they hope third time will be the charm with a blockbuster set for the Middle East.

And Fury vowed to teach Paul a lesson as he boasted of holding the superior boxing experience when they faced off.
He said: “I’ve beaten better people than you when I was 14 in the amateurs. I will school you. I’m not an MMA guy.
“I was beating people better than you when I was 14, when you was messing about on Disney Channel, so don’t come round here pretending you’re about it when you’re not.”
