Tommy Fury feared being "disowned" by brother Tyson if he lost to Jake Paul

Tommy Fury's former opponent believes the Briton now has no chance of regaining a shot at Jake Paul.

Fury and Paul signed the contracts to settle their rivalry at the second time of asking after Fury was forced to withdraw from their original planned clash last December. However Fury was denied entry to the US when planning to travel for the pre-fight press conference which quickly derailed their planned meeting.

Paul offered to fight Fury in the UK for a fraction of the purse at $500,000, but Fury denied the request and Paul has since moved on to face Hasim Rahman Jr next. Fury's previous rival Anthony Taylor believes the young star was fearful of losing the approval of his fighting family if he lost to Paul.
