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’.

But Paul’s statement came to KSI’s notice. He mentioned that Paul’s card was dead and that he will provide a lifeline for him.

KSI asked Paul to fight as the co-main event on his card. Moreover, he also mentioned that he has everything set up for Paul.

Additionally, he also ‘generously’ offered to let Amanda Serrano fight on the same card.
