YouTube boxer Jake Paul has announced that Tommy Fury is out as his next opponent after Fury and his team were barred from entering the U.S.
“Fury’s received a termination notice,” Paul said on social media. “MVP did everything it could to help him and his team. He wasn’t interested and he literally went into hiding. Second time in a row he has pulled out. Second time in a row I’m going to step up and take on a new opponent on short notice. August 6. MSG.”
The new opponent is expected to be heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs), the son of the former heavyweight champion.
Rahman was clearly out boxing Morrison in their recent fight until he got clipped due to being fatigued.
In all honesty, Paul has a better chance against Morrison than Rahman.
Tommy Fury was a no go from the start! All he does is hide behind the vail of the Fury name! I hope Jake never considers him ever again! As for Rahman….Wow! Kid with a name and amateur pedigree. Now this is gonna be interesting!!
We knew it..
We already knew it..
In modern times, boxing has now added side shows to enhance its relationships with gamers, Youtubers, and most of all, highly influential con artists that can sell tickets to any crowd. Hang on! It’s going to be a wild ride as we move into the future.
At this rate, there might not be a future.
I am sooooo disappointed……
I don’t fathom how Fury won’t go to America to ko this bum. I think he is frightened to death of Paul and his entourage. Fury is scared like a little girl!
Because he can’t get a visa to fight in the US.
Yeah Fury should just bum rush security at the airport of both Heathrow and whatever airport he would land in in the United States and just tell customs officials that he’s going through no matter what. I can’t believe how stupid people are in this country.
Lol!!
NOT shocking……
Rahman is a good step up from Fury. If Jake gets the W then he is starting to fight “real” boxers and should be treated accordingly since he puts in the work.
But I am so hoping Rahman knocks him out in a very big way.
I think Paul was being unreasonable with Fury as it’s not Tommy’s fault that he’s being banned from a country for a stupid reason. And Tommy didn’t go into hiding he just can’t do anything about it, so Jake looks like the complete b**** here and the one who backed out of the fight. However, all will we be forgiven if he actually faces Haseem Rahman Jr. Rahman Jr. is certainly no top level fighter but he’s likely better than Tommy Fury is. I’ll believe it when I see it though, and think Jake Paul is nothing more than a fraud who has hoodwinked a lot of gullible unintelligent people.
If Jake Paul ever defeats a World-level cruiserweight. that would be an incredible sports story. I believe his is sincere in his desire to be a professional boxer and is seeking out good coaches. However, he just doesn’t have the time or bandwidth to get in enough sparring to make up for a lack of an amateur career and home his technique to match up with a top professional boxer.
Can’t believe Fury doesn’t just rent a private jet sneak past customs and show up ringside on the night and challenge him in the name of honour!! Someone said the people posting calling Fury a chicken are idiots – I think they should run for for President! There is a physic in a caravan close to fury’s that can Teleport him to the ring. We can see the teleportation and fight for one PPV PRICE – it will be the event to stop the planet literally, can’t wait.
WHO CARES?!?! The Paul brothers are an absolute disgrace to the sport of boxing. Biggest douche bags in almost the whole world. They have no business making the money they make boxing and they DEFINITELY have no business calling the shots. I get it, they have fans. So what, start at the bottom like everyone else and respect the sport or get the fuck out!!! No one cares about their circus sideshow and everyone wants to see them stretched out on the canvas knocked into next week.
jake paul is circus entertainment he would never be put in with world class boxers if he is in shape he might go the distance against grade b opposition and than he might not keep your money if they put it on ppv its a show
They made sure Rahman wasn’t in shape. He won’t be able to get into 100% shape by the time the fight takes place
