Frank Warren, promoter for mild heavyweight prospect Tommy Fury, is holding out hope that every little thing can labored out for a deliberate battle in opposition to Youtube star turned boxer Jake Paul.
The battle is scheduled for August sixth at Madison Sq. Backyard in New York Metropolis, as the principle occasion of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card.
Final week, Fury was denied entry into the USA. He was turned away at London’s Heathrow Airport as a consequence of his ESTA (Digital System for Journey Authority) doc being denied, which prevented him from attending a deliberate press convention to formally announce the pay-per-view battle with Paul.
Paul has given Fury a deadline of Wednesday morning to kind the matter out – with three backup opponents already lined up.
“Tommy is formally out by Wednesday morning if he doesn’t go to the embassy / come out of hiding. Three different opponents lined up. I’m constructed completely different,” Paul acknowledged on social media.
They had been initially scheduled to battle in December. Fury withdrew with an injured rib and a chest an infection. He was changed by former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, who was brutally knocked out by Paul.
Older brother, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is reportedly not allowed to enter the USA – as a consequence of alleged drug cartel chief Daniel Kinahan being his adviser for a number of years. And, John Fury, Tommy’s father and head coach, shouldn’t be allowed in the USA as a consequence of a felony conviction from 2011.
Tommy continues to be undecided why he was denied entry, however apparently the matter in not associated to Kinahan.
Warren needs his boxer to go to the USA Embassy to work out the matter as quickly as potential – earlier than Paul goes in one other route with a brand new opponent.
“He [Tommy] has received to get to the Embassy, however no appointment has been made but. I can perceive the place they’re coming from. They have a present to run or no matter and if we won’t get it sorted out then clearly they’re going to go to a different opponent so we’ll simply hold engaged on it and attempting to make it occur,” Warren instructed IFL TV.
