Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy Fury had the same fate as him, which was concerning to ‘The Problem Child’ from the very beginning. The Long Island actor was most likely to attend a press conference on Wednesday to launch their highly anticipated contest at Madison Square Garden. But he faced a travel issue as he was stopped from moving to the USA. This certainly infuriated the 25-year-old because he already invested a lot in this showdown. As mentioned, Tyson Fury also had issues with entering the US earlier.
The former UFC star Chael Sonnen recently discussed this heated subject on his podcast. Discussing ‘suspects’, he said, “Tyron Woodley, you guys don’t want to laugh at me. It’s happened twice Tyron will go in and box him. I think I haven’t talked to Tyron but we’re looking for names.
“Iron Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson said he’d do it. He said he did it as recently as a week ago. He said he would do it as recently as a week ago on Jimmy Kimmel’s couch. You can’t turn that down if you’re a promoter. If you have an athlete that has access to Jimmy Kimmel’s couch to media light. You gotta use him, of course. Mike works all day long now.now.now. I don’t know how serious they are into looking at that.”
Prior to this, Tommy Fury had pulled out of the fight in December 2021 due to injury.
