Tommy Fury denied entry to United States with Jake Paul fight in doubt

Tommy Fury's upcoming grudge fight with Jake Paul is now in doubt after the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been denied entry to the United States. Fury, 22, was due to fly out to New York City for a press conference with Paul and reporter Ariel Helwani for their upcoming boxing bout on August 6 at Madison Square Garden.

But Fury has now revealed that he was turned away at Heathrow Airport after having his ESTA denied, with the fighter now at the British embassy in an attempt for the issue to be dealt with in order to fly out.

Fury will almost certainly not be available for the press conference tomorrow, with the fight now seemingly in doubt.
