Fury, 23, was due to fight Paul last December – only to have to pull out with a rib injury.
The fight was then made again for Madison Square Garden in August – but fell through when Fury had to pull out after encountering visa issues.
Paul-promoted women’s champion Amanda Serrano was recently in action in Manchester – beating Sarah Mahfoud at AO Arena with Fury in attendance.
As Serrano FaceTimed Paul after the fight, TNT hijacked the call to speak to his rival.
