Jake Paul sent Tommy Fury last-ditch message in bid to salvage doomed fight

Jake Paul desperately attempted to salvage his doomed fight with Tommy Fury, even sending the Brit a private message to help push the visa process along.

Fury was unable to travel to America due to an issue with his visa, and as such was forced to once again pull out of a contracted fight with Paul. The duo were going to headline Madison Square Garden, but Paul will now instead face Hasim Rahman Jr at the famed New York City venue.
