And Paul travelled to London to square up to Fury before Anthony Yarde's
The two went nose-to-nose, exchanging fiery words and had to be forced apart before tempers boiled over.
Fury, 23, said: "Come 26th of February, this s***'s been going on too long, he'll never box again.
"I'm not 50, I ain't 40, I ain't an MMA guy, I've been doing this my whole life and I swear to God you're finished come 26th of February."
Paul, 26, hit back: "He's fought taxi drivers, he's got no chin, it's all a joke. I'm ending you February 26th and you already know it.
"You're going to crack under pressure, you're not built for this moment. You're an impostor, it's all a bravado, it's all fake confidence."
Fury has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, with a rib injury in December 2021 and then a US visa issue last August.
The travel woe still persists today and as a result has brought the duo over to the Saudi desert.

Paul has knocked out ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, in his 6-0 career.
But 8-0 Fury will be the first opponent he has faced with a recognised professional boxing record.
He told Paul: "I've beaten better people than you when I was 14 in the amateurs. I will school you. I'm not an MMA guy.
"I was beating people better than you when I was 14, when you was messing about on Disney Channel, so don't come round here pretending you're about it when you're not."
Fury has been warned by heavyweight champion brother to drop their famous surname and stay in the Middle East if he loses.
And Paul jibed: "He's going to get knocked out by a Disney star, plain and simple, that's it.
"You'll see, you'll see who the real professional boxer is. All these critics, all these people saying, 'Fight a real boxer.' Here we go.
"Tommy has so much to lose, his family is going to disown him when I knock him the f*** out, plain and simple, that's it.
"Sorry Tyson, I love you but it's over for your brother."
