Jake Paul has instructed his team to move “on to the next one” as he hinted that his fight with Tommy Fury is OFF.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was forced to cancel a planned press conference with Fury in New York yesterday. The Brit was unable to fly to America. Paul still travelled to Madison Square Garden in an effort to salvage. The bout which is scheduled to take place on August 6.
Paul appeared for marketing shots at the famous New York venue. Even sending a video where he explained that Fury should just get to the US Embassy and secure a visa in time for their fight to. go ahead. However, it now seems that he is moving on after a tweet slamming both Tommy. His world heavyweight champion brother Tyson.
It remains to be seen if Paul will go ahead with the August 6 date against a new opponent. With a number of undercard fights already confirmed for the pay-per-view event. Amanda Serrano is set to co-headline in a featherweight title fight against Brenda Carabajal. While young prospect Ashton Sylve is also due to be on the card.
Paul had said he would be willing to move the event to the UK at just five weeks’ notice in an effort to force a fight with Fury, but demanded $15million for the switch. He said in a Twitter video directed at Fury yesterday that the fee would be to make up for lost pay-per-view revenue and ticket sales from a massive Madison Square Garden event.
