Tommy Fury, the former rival of Jake Paul, would fight Paul Bamba on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji. At the weigh-in, Tommy Fury weighed 7lbs heavier than the prescribed weight for the fight. Fury, 23, would fight the 9th pro fight of his life against Bamba at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Following Fury missing the weight ahead of his bout, Bamba demanded 20% of Fury’s purse, given the fight still takes place on November 13, Sunday night.
In addition, Fury is advised to lose at least 3lbs of the extra weight for the placement of the November 13 fight. Following the breakout of the news in public, several figures from the boxing world reacted to it. Jake Paul, who earlier was supposed to face Fury twice, reacted immediately by taking a jab at Fury.
