TYSON FURY said his brother Tommy is training for "a big fight" in America with an announcement coming "soon".
It comes amid speculation that Tommy and Jake Paul are in talks to reschedule their celebrity grudge match.
Fury, 33, told : "Tommy is actually training now for a big fight that he's got coming up soon in America.
"I think that's going to be announced quite soon."
Fury was coaching Tommy last year in preparation for the fight, until the 2019 Love Islander pulled out after suffering a broken rib.

The Gypsy King is ready to help his younger brother out again and hopes the reality TV star continues making a name for himself.

"Tommy has got to find his own way in life, his own feet and use them.
"He's doing fantastic at the moment, he's 23-years-old, he's done marvellous, he's very successful at what he does.
"With his fight I'm sure he's going to win it and I'm going to help him out as much as I can and that's it.
"But he's entirely his own man and he will do what he's got to do and if this life, no matter who you know, they can't do it for you, you've got to live it yourself."
