A month before the grudge match, Paul signed a deal with the Professional Fighters League to debut in MMA.

And Paul's business partner teased Fury with an offer to rematch the American in boxing and then complete their trilogy in MMA.

Now, PFL founder Donn Davis has exclusively confirmed to SunSport that a deal is in fact on the table and worth £15.7m.

Davis said: "Yes, what Jake and Nakisa said is accurate.

"Tommy doing a back-to-back boxing and MMA - hardwired together where Tommy couldn't back out of one or the other - is on the table.

"The rumoured offers of $15-20m to Tommy - which is three times what he could earn for many other of his options - is accurate.

"Is that the best option for Jake? I'll leave that to Jake and Nakisa. They're the best at picking opponents and managing that.

"But that is accurate and that is a possibility."

The offer would be spanned across the two sports, starting with a boxing rematch and culminating in what would be the rivals' MMA debuts.

Davis added: "That is a two-fight deal and the two fights are $15-20million together for Tommy Fury."

Fury, 24, went on to defeat Paul's arch rival KSI, 30, last October but has not returned since having had hand surgery.

Meanwhile Paul, 27, has bounced back with two wins since suffering defeat for the first time.

He beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on points then knocked out pro boxer Andre August, 35, in round one in December.

Paul returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano's Puerto Rico homecoming against 17-2 Ryan Bourland, 35.

And the social media sensation has lofty ambitions of winning world titles and plans to continue facing seasoned boxers to build his way up.

But talks for his MMA debut continue behind the scenes, with Fury and Diaz frontrunners for the fight as Paul ramps up his preparations.

Davis said: "If Nate and Jake want to get together in MMA, that remains on the table.

"Jake is training now down in the Dominican, he's four months into it.
