Tommy Fury set for boxing return
Tommy Fury is still in line to make a return to the ring with Misfits Boxing - but it could leave a rematch with Jake Paul in doubt.
The 2019 Love Islander was due to fight Darren Till until he pulled out amid threats of being KICKED in the head by the ex-UFC star.
Till, 32, instead faces former MMA fighter-turned boxer Anthony Taylor, 35, at Misfits 20 in Manchester.
But Fury meanwhile could still be contracted to fight next on Misfits - the celebrity-style crossover boxing platform co-founded by KSI.
KSI's manager Mams Taylor - the co-founder of Misfits - was probed on whether Fury is obligated to box on their platform.
Taylor told : "We're sorting it out. We're figuring out the best way to make sure everyone has made whole."
Fury, 25, beat KSI, 31, via controversial decision in October 2023.
But he is yet to return since withdrawing from his bout against Till - with Taylor remaining optimistic Fury will return with Misfits.

New recruits
Champions League winner Wes Brown and ex-Chelsea star Wayne Bridge are among the ex-footballers interested in turning to boxing.
Former Leicester defender Danny Simpson - who won the Premier League in 2016 - became the first football star on Misfits Boxing.
Misfits was co-founded by YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI and his manager Mams Taylor - and is home to celebrity-style crossover bouts.
And Simpson, 38, drew over four rounds with social media influencer Danny Aarons, 22, last August.
Now, more retired footballers are expressing an interest in making the same switch.
Brown has trained with Simpson to keep fit after retirement and SunSport understands he is also keen to have a fight.
The centre-back - who won the Champions League in 2008 and SEVEN Prem titles at United - will be ringside for Misfits 20 in Manchester.
And he has already told Misfits head honcho Taylor he is on board to follow in former team-mate Simpson's steps.
Meanwhile, Bridge - a Prem winner with Chelsea - is a fight fan and has even had an England Boxing licensed amateur bout.
He beat Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews in 2018 for Sport Relief.
The reported how Bridge, 44, was even being lined up to fight KSI, 31.
