TYSON FURY and Jake Paul have agreed to a $1million [£815k] bet that his brother Tommy will inflict a first defeat on the trash-talking American.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul faces the ex-Love Island star, who is also unbeaten, at Madison Square Garden in New York on August 6.

The Gypsy King has already stated that he believes his younger sibling will record a knockout victory over the Problem Child.
And the former Disney actor, 25, challenged the WBC heavyweight champion to put his money where his mouth is.
Fury – who is worth £50.5million according to Forbes – was initially willing to place a £100,000 wager on Tommy, leading Paul to brand him as a “f***ing p***y”.
Taking to Twitter, he said: “So guys, Tyson Fury who made $40million [£32.6m] last year is willing to bet $100k [£81k] on his brother.
“Oh my god we’re shaking! Hey Tyson you f***ing p***y, you made $40m, I know it wasn’t as much as me but let’s up the ante.
“Two million, three million, however much you want to bet, are you down? Make a deal.”
Fury was quick to respond, where he then questioned whether the Ohio native can afford to stump up $1m [£815k].
In a video published on social media, he remarked: “This is a message to Jake Paul. Hey Jakey boy, I hear you want to make a big bet on $100k.

“You want a bigger bet motherf***er? You want $1m? Let’s do it. Holla at your boy. If you want $1m, you got it.
“And hey Jakey, I want to see this million dollars in escrow sucker. Because I don’t think you’ve got a million dollars.
“I’m not talking about crypto, I’m talking about real US green bags motherf***er.”
Paul – who boats a £37m fortune – instantly responded to the bet where he agreed to the sum of $1m, which he joked is “chump change” to him.
He stated: “You want to bet $1m? OK you got it. For the heavyweight champion of the world, a million dollars, and that’s all you want to bet?
“If you want to go with some chump change like that, no problem.
“I’m already in contact with your lawyer Robert [Davies] and my team is in touch with him so we’re gonna get the money into escrow and make it happen right away.
“Your money is going to be put to good use, so thank you bro.”
Unfortunately for Tyson, he will not be able to support Tommy in America for the fight, as dad John let slip that the pair are currently banned from entering the country.
