It seems like Jake Paul might have to wait longer for his well-awaited bout with his ‘favorite’ opponent. As there were recent reports stating that Tommy Fury might be unable to travel to the United States for the bout. Meanwhile, Paul received a rather insulting offer from KSI.
Tommy, no matter how hard u try to get out of this fight, I’m going 2 do everything in my power 2 not let u weasel ur way out. My team & my partners have made it clear the steps u need to take 2 solve ur latest excuse. Take them or admit ur a scared little bitch. #TommyFumbles

After the announcement was made, Paul took to Twitter to take a swipe at Fury. Paul claimed he will do everything in his power to make sure Fury does not back out. Moreover, he also mentioned that his team had briefed Fury on ways to work around the travel ban.
In fact, he even went on to call Fury a ‘scared little b*tch’.
Clearly your card is dead in the water at this point. So lemme give you a lifeline.
If you TRULY want to fight Tommy, fight on my card as the co main event. I’ve got everything set up for you. Best believe you owe me though. Ball is in your court. #ItsAWinWin @tommytntfury https://t.co/lYvne3DUiN

Is the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight canceled?
Jake Paul was scheduled to face Tommy Fury at Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 6, 2022. Fury was excited at the new opportunity to fight Paul. In fact, he even vowed to ‘shut up‘ Paul for good with his performance. However, the recent turn of events has left the bout in shambles.

In an Instagram story, Fury spoke about being stopped at the airport by security. He said, “As soon as I entered the airport, I was pulled to one side and told by a Homeland Security officer that my ESTA had been denied and that I wasn’t able to travel to the USA for a reason I apparently know.”
Previously, Fury’s father and brother John Fury and Tyson Fury were banned from entering the US. It is speculated that connections to the boxing manager and alleged crime boss, Daniel Kinahan, is the reason behind the ban.
