Jake Paul agrees to fight Tommy Fury in the UK on one condition

Jake Paul has formally agreed to fight Tommy Fury in the United Kingdom with the American believing that the 22-year-old does not want to travel to the United States to fight him. The two agreed the fight last week after months of negotiations, coming after their first fight was cancelled when Fury picked up an injury.

Yesterday, Fury and Paul should have been going face-to-face for their press conference. The American star was left furious after Fury was denied entry to the United States because of an issue with his ESTA. Fury was due to fly out for the conference at Madison Square Garden with Paul for their upcoming boxing bout on August 6, before Fury revealed that he was turned away at Heathrow Airport after having his ESTA denied.

Frustrated, Paul has now questioned Fury's urgency to sort his VISA details to fly over to the States, and wonders if Fury would prefer to fight in the UK.
