Weeks After Floyd Mayweather, Tyson Fury Faces ‘Non-Payment’ Threat

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury might have to give up a huge payday due to some legal issues. Moreover, he is the second boxer this month who might get a payday canceled after Floyd Mayweather canceled an event appearance after being denied payment.

‘The Gypsy King’ has had brief stints with the WWE and was looking to make some side money trying to work with the organization again. However, his plans were quickly halted after he was given shocking news.

Tyson Fury faces visa issues with the United States

The heavyweight champion is currently facing issues regarding his visa, which is preventing him from entering the United States. It is reported that this might have to do with Fury’s relationship with Daniel Kinahan, the alleged Irish cartel boss. Tyson’s brother Tommy Fury was also denied entry into the United States back in August which led to his scheduled bout against Jake Paul being canceled.

Moreover, it seems like Tyson has also encountered the same problems as his brother. Kinahan currently has a bounty of $5 million with 600 people known to be in contact with him who have been blacklisted. This includes Fury who might have to miss out on a payday because of that.

However, WWE’s legal team revealed that they were working closely with Fury’s team. Despite that, it was entirely up to the immigration office to give Fury visa approval. “Tyson and the legal team or getting this whole grey and tricky area resolved. But non-entry, quite simply put, means non-payment. The legal team are on the sidelines offering support in this matter,” the source continued, “but ultimately getting approval is on Tyson’s head and how US immigration assesses his case.” a source said.

Floyd Mayweather cancels his appearance after not being paid

Mayweather was set to make a public appearance at the ‘King MisuZulu International Boxing Tournament‘ in Durban. However, ‘Money’ canceled his trip and also revealed that he will be taking legal action against the organizers. This was because according to him, he was not compensated for this trip which was a breach of contract from the organizer’s end.

Moreover, it was also revealed that pictures of Mayweather were used to promote the event without his authorization. Both Fury and Mayweather have had a rough past month. Despite that, the two legends can easily bounce back from this slump with a single event.
