Fury, 23, is 8-0 as a pro and most recently defeated Daniel Bocianski on points in April. He's the half-brother of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and starred on season five of British reality show "Love Island." The younger Fury has competed at light-heavyweight (175-pound limit), lighter than the cruiserweight (200-pound limit) and catchweight bouts Paul has competed in so far. The weight limit for the Aug. 6 meeting hasn't yet been revealed.

Paul is 5-0 with his last two victories coming against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, including a devastating knockout win in December. Prior to that, Paul fought former UFC fighter Ben Askren, former NBA player Nate Robinson and YouTuber AnEsonGib. Prior to his boxing career, Paul had a role on Disney Channel show "Bizaardvark."

In the co-main event, Amanda Serrano will look to defend her three featherweight titles against Brenda Carabajal.
