Following his first loss in seven professional bouts, Paul immediately claimed he was set to exercise his rematch clause.

But the American later announced he would instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.

Although Paul, 26, has insisted rematching Fury, 24, is still just a matter of time with both on board to fight again.

He told Sky Sports: “It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen for sure.

“I think it was a great fight, it was entertaining, it was the biggest pay-per-view buys in boxing for the last two years so I think we have to run it back.

“Tommy is down and I’m excited for that.”

Fury is enjoying a break from boxing and life as a new dad to baby Bambi but has opened the door to a fight with Paul’s rival KSI, 29.

Meanwhile, Paul is already in training for his next bout against Diaz, which will be the fourth time he has faced a retired UFC fighter.

He has knocked out Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 41, and outpointed Brazilian legend Anderson Silva, 48.

But this time Paul returns with a point to prove having tasted defeat for the first time in the ring.

He said: “I’m ready, man. I’m excited, I’m filled with vengeance and I’m just excited to come back and perform.”
