Following the ultimatum issued by Jake Paul regarding their fight at Madison Square Garden next month, there are now serious doubts over whether the fight can go ahead.
Fury was prevented from entering the US by homeland security last week as he made the trip to the country for the press conference which was planned for Wednesday. However, he revealed that there were issues surrounding his ESTA for the proposed bout at Madison Square Garden.
Paul, 25, seems to have had enough of the antics in the build-up to the fight and has given Fury until Wednesday, July 6 to resolve the issue or he would seek a new opponent for the fight. Revealing his thoughts on social media, Paul explained the ultimatum and expressed his intention to fight regardless of whether Fury is allowed into the US.

"Tommy is officially out by Wednesday morning if he doesn’t go to the Embassy or come out of hiding," he wrote on social media. "Three other opponents lined up. I’m built different.". Now, Frank Warren, who was responsible for promoting Fury's last fight against Daniel Bocianski on the undercard of brother Tyson's fight against Dillian Whyte, has offered his view.
The experienced promoter explained in an interview that no appointment had been made for Tommy to speak to the US Embassy before Wednesday's deadline and could empathise with the Paul camp. "[Tommy] has got to get to the Embassy, but no appointment has been made yet," Warren told iFLTV.
"I can understand where they're coming from. They've got a show to run or whatever and if we can't get it sorted out then obviously they'll go to another opponent so we'll just keep working on it and trying to make it happen."
