After days of uncertainty, the boxing sensation Jake Paul finally gave an ultimatum to his heated rival Tommy Fury. The social media star gave a deadline to the Love Island actor to reach the USA by any means. According to Paul, it’s not a matter of concern for him, as he already has a number of opponents knocking at his door.

He wrote, “Tommy is officially out by Wednesday morning if he doesn’t go to the embassy / come out of hiding. 3 other opponents lined up. I’m built different.”

Initially, the pair were set to deliver their much-awaited contest in December 2021. However, they failed to materialize it as Tommy Fury pulled out of the bout due to injury. This had infuriated Paul, and he made up his mind not to face Fury again.

But a few weeks back, The Problem Child decided to give one more chance to his rival. Per the deal, they were most likely to collide on August 6 at the Madison Square Garden in New York as the main event of SHOWTIME pay-per-view.

First, Fury’s father came up with a proposal to postpone the fight as the USA has banned him from entering the state. Anyhow, the 25-year-old managed to tackle this stumbling stone. But subsequently, Tommy Fury was also denied flying to the USA. He was all set to attend the press conference on Wednesday to launch his highly anticipated fight.

Who are the three probable opponents for Jake Paul?

Though The Problem Child has not disclosed the names of his probable opponents who are waiting to replace Tommy Fury, he has disclosed the numbers. The first and foremost name that could replace Fury is former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. He replaced Fury in December 2021.
