Tyson Fury’s younger brother, 25, has been busy away from boxing and also split from long-term partner Molly-Mae Hague in August.

He’s won all his 10 bouts but the last was a controversial split-decision victory in February 2023 over Paul, who beat Mike Tyson this weekend.

Confirming his return, the Mancunian posted on social media: “I’M BACK” – along with the date and opponent.

But his rival, 31-year-old Till, has never boxed before.

It comes days after one-time reality TV star Fury gave fans a glimpse of his new home after moving out of the £3.5million mansion he shared with Molly-Mae.

They got engaged and have a daughter – Bambi, one.

But three months ago Molly-Mae went on YouTube to reveal their relationship formed on Love Island was over.

Defeat against Fury in Saudi Arabia 21 months ago is the only blot on Paul’s 13-fight boxing record.

But the YouTuber, 27, has been criticised over the choice of some of his opponents, never more so than with 58-year-old Tyson.

And he also made an array of excuses for losing to Fury, who got off the floor in the final round to triumph on points.

Paul cited “illness” and “arm injury” as well as claiming he went out drinking seven nights before his Riyadh loss.
