Jake Paul fans claims boxing fans 'won't believe' who replacement for Tommy Fury is

Tommy Fury now has less than 24 hours to confirm whether or not he will be able to resolve his travel VISA issues and make the trip to New York for his fight on August 6 against Jake Paul.

The 22-year-old brother of world champion Tyson Fury has been issued an ultimatum by YouTube star Paul, with the American declaring that Fury has until Wednesday morning to resolve his travel issues or face being replaced. There have been a host of names in the running, but Paul's coach BJ Flores has declared that there is a surprise name in the mix for the fight.

The former cruiserweight champion is a coach of the 25-year-old American and teased fans with a social media post suggesting that fans will be happy with the replacement lined up for the fight. "Nobody is going to believe who is coming next," he wrote.
