Jake Paul suggests brother Tyson and dad John convinced Tommy Fury not to fight

Jake Paul believes that Tommy Fury was convinced not to fight him by his brother, world heavyweight champion Tyson, and his dad, John.

The Love Island star is 8-0 as a professional boxer and was expected to travel to Madison Square Garden to face Paul on August 6. But he was forced to pull out of the fight, marking the second time he has been unable to take on his rival, due to a visa issue that stopped him from travelling to America.

Despite insistences from Fury and his promoter Frank Warren that the visa problem was the only reason why he wasn't able to make the fight, there are theories that there were other reasons. Fury already pulled out of fighting Paul once - back in December, when he broke his rib - which has frustrated Paul and his team, as they have had to make two late replacements.
