Ex-world champion holds 'moment of silence' for Tommy Fury after Jake Paul blow

Former world champion Paulie Malignaggi has jokingly held a "moment of silence" for Tommy Fury after he was again forced out of a fight with Jake Paul.

Fury is not able to travel to America due to issues with his visa and Paul pulled the plug on the bout yesterday. The pair were due to square off back in December, which was cancelled due to an injury to the Brit's rib.

And after yet again pulling out, Malignaggi and his co-hosts on his podcast held a mocking minute's silence for Fury as a potential Paul opponent. The 8-0 boxer was viewed as Paul's first legitimate test, and is expected to be replaced today by Hasim Rahman Jr, who holds an even more impressive 12-1 record, all at heavyweight.
