Tommy Fury claims he will fight on Floyd Mayweather undercard after bizarre contract mix-up

Tommy Fury has claimed a contract mix-up has caused his fight with Paul Bamba to be cancelled, though the Love Island star has revealed he will still be fighting on the Floyd Mayweather undercard.

The 23-year-old was set to face off against Bamba on Sunday night in Dubai on the undercard of Mayweather vs Deji, with Fury - brother of heavyweight star Tyson - having not fought since April.

Fury's bout against the American was contracted at light-heavyweight, with the latter successfully weighing in at 174.6lb. However, the Brit missed weight by nearly 7lb as he stepped on the scale at 181.4lb.
