Jake Paul accuses Tommy Fury of trying to "weasel out" of fight after being denied travel

Jake Paul insists he will do everything in his power to ensure his fight with Tommy Fury can go ahead after his rival was prevented from travelling to the US for their press conference.

The YouTube star finally agreed to reschedule his meeting with Fury for August 6 after his rival was forced to withdraw last December after suffering a broken rib. The British star agreed to sign his contract despite the prospect of having no team with brother Tyson allegedly banned from the US alongside his father John.

However Fury revealed in a social media video that he was stopped at Heathrow Airport when he attempted to depart for tomorrow's event.
