Tommy Fury wants to fight Jake Paul next (Image: Instagram: @tommyfury)Tommy Fury told Jake Paul to beat Anderson Silva tonight so that he can ‘smash the front of his face in’ next year. Taking to Instagram, Fury said: ‘This is a very, very special good luck message to my best bud Jake Paul. Make sure you get the job done tonight mate so I can see you next year and smash all the front of your face in.’Take it easy guys, may the best man win. Good luck, God bless.’The pair have been booked to face each other on two occasions to no avail. In December, their fight was called off after Fury was forced to pull out with a rib injury sustained in camp. Then, ahead of their August encounter, the bout agreement was terminated when TNT was denied entry to the United States – where the event was set to take place.However, earlier this month, The Problem Child revealed on his podcast ‘BS with Jake Paul’ that there were ongoing talks about attempting to make the fight for a third time in February.  ‘[I] had a call with Tommy Fury. Yeah, they’re saying we’re going to fight in February,’ he said. ‘I think he [Fury] actually can’t come into the United States, so if I fight him in the UK [it can happen].’MORE BOXING NEWS…Joshua has three ‘dream’ fights as Hearn sets out plans for 2023Paul and Silva agree fight bet that could annoy UFC chief WhitePaul learns Silva fight decision after refuting it would be cancelledBoth men were also recently seen seemingly agreeing to the contest over FaceTime in a video uploaded by Paul’s promoter Most Valuable Promotions. Paul was heard saying: “Tommy, let’s make the fight happen buddy.
