Jake Paul has revealed Tyson Fury's private DMs as he has put a date on a blockbuster rematch with Tommy Fury.
Paul returns to action next month when he faces former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
It will be his first appearance since his victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson last November.
Even though he has Chavez Jr. in his crosshairs, 'The Problem Child' has set his sights on running it back with Tommy, who scored a win in their first meeting back in February 2023.

They were reportedly set to rematch in the past but both parties failed to strike a deal for a second fight.
But Paul is confident of rematching Tommy and believes it will happen in the 'next 12 months'.
The rematch was put in motion thanks to Tyson, who sent a private message to Paul, telling him to make the fight happen.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Paul revealed: "I think the Fury fight will happen in the next 12 months, yeah. He just has to be realistic about what's he's worth, right?"
Tommy made his anticipated return to action earlier this month when he beat Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest, Hungary.
The 28-year-old slammed the unbeaten Brit's comeback fight, claiming it 'tanked' on DAZN.
"He just had a free fight on DAZN that tanked, couldn't sell the tickets in wherever he was like a 1,000 person venue and he's just negotiating like he's God. Again," he added. "I have ten names waiting to fight me in multiple different sports, MMA, boxing, all this stuff. These people just have to be realistic about what they're wanting to get paid and Tommy Fury isn't."
On DMing Tyson, Paul said: "But I DMd Tyson Fury because Tyson was like, 'You guys need to make this happen now'. I was like, 'Tyson, you've got to put your brother in check here. He's not going to get this money or this offer anywhere else'.
"He already missed out on the massive opportunity on Netflix, his dad, who is his manager has no idea what the f**k he's doing and you can't let your dad run your career. Tommy's not his own boss, he's an airhead as well so I just feel bad for him because he thinks he's worth more than what he's worth.
"It's just night and day and he hasn't got any better, right? He's been boxing since he was six years old, it's going to be the same stuff, same coach, his dumbass dad. He hasn't got any better so I just can't wait, seriously I can't wait to get in there with him and whenever we can make that happen it's going to be Christmas Day for me."
