Tommy Fury angrily responds to 'bulls***' claim about Jake Paul fight

Tommy Fury has hit back at his father John's claim that he was not training and had reached up to 231lbs in the build-up to his fight against Jake Paul on August 6. Fury has been replaced by Hasim Rahman Jr for the fight on August 6, but Paul is continuing to make attempts to keep the fight alive.

The fight was originally reported to have been cancelled due to the 22-year-old's visa issues, but John Fury's claims last week that his son's lack of training was the reason. John had previously stated that he wanted nothing to do with the fight after the Paul camp's antics in the build-up.

Now, his claims have led to Tommy releasing a video to social media in order to refute the claims made by his father in an interview with DAZN. "Tommy wasn't exactly in training," he said.
