NEW YORK, NY (SNN-TV) – For the second time, Tommy Fury will not be competing in a scheduled boxing match with Jake Paul.
Paul, the YouTube star-turned-prizefighter, wrote today on Twitter that he sent Fury a termination notice, acknowledging that he is officially out of their planned August 6th fight at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Paul wrote that he would “take on a new opponent on short notice” but did not say who that opponent would be.
Last week, England-born Fury was denied entry into the United States for undisclosed reasons. Fury, younger half-brother of heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury, wrote on Instagram that he is willing to fight Paul in a “neutral country that both parties can enter”.
Paul is 5-0 as a pro boxer and is coming off a knockout win over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley last December.
