JAKE PAUL is set to officially CONFIRM his anticipated grudge match with Tommy Fury – and will head to London to do so.
The celebrity boxing rivals will announce the latest rescheduling of their pay-per-view bout, on Sunday, February 26 in Saudi Arabia.

Tommy Fury and Jake Paul will fight on February 26Getty
And they will use this Saturday’s unified light-heavyweight title fight between Artur Beterbiev, 38, and Anthony Yarde, 31, to do so.
SunSport understands Paul will be at Wembley Arena to square up and face off against Fury in the ring.
A fight announcement could come as early as TODAY, which marks the third time the two will attempt to put bragging rights and reputations on the line.
Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid a US visa issue.
The travel woe still persists today, which left the UK and Saudi as frontrunners to host the bitter bout.
Paul, 26, even offered to travel to Manchester on February 18 and fight Fury in enemy territory.
But a more lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia a week later was proposed and won the race.
Paul and Fury become the latest prizefighters to have been convinced over to the desert.

Anthony Joshua, 33, has twice boxed in Saudi, most recently in defeat in August against Oleksandr Usyk, 36.
And now Usyk is in talks for the heavyweight division’s first ever four belt undisputed title decider in the Middle East with Tommy’s brother Tyson, 34.
The younger Fury last boxed in Dubai in November in a last-minute exhibition against Rolly Lambert, 33.
Paul was a special guest commentator that night and slammed the six-rounder from ringside.
It came a month after the American beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, over eight rounds to go 6-0.
And it has kept the unbeaten pair on track to finally settle their drawn out score in the ring once and for all.
