On Sunday Tommy took to Twitter to hush rumours about the cancelled fight with American YouTuber turned boxer Jake following a Visa issue. "The reason I am not fighting Jake Paul on August 6th in America is because I WAS NOT ALLOWED IN THE COUNTRY," he tweeted. And he added: "Anything else said on social media is FALSE."
Tommy was set to face Jake at Madison Square Garden on August 6. Jake, 25, has now agreed to fight Hasim Rahman Jr next month instead.
At the time Tommy released a statement that said: "I'm gutted and disappointed in regards to the issues I have faced with entry into the USA. This is something that myself or my team could never have anticipated happening.
"This situation has been left with my lawyers as being denied entry into a country is obviously a very serious issue and it needs to be subsequently resolved." He continued: "I am confident this fight will happen when this issue gets resolved and we come to a solution. I want to clarify that I will fight in a neutral country that both parties can enter. This can be any time, any place, anywhere."
ake then offered him $500,000 offer for a fight in the UK fight but Tommy turned the offer down. Paul tweeted: "I’m confident you are a scared little boy who doesn’t want to fight or understand business. I will pay you $500K to fight me in the UK. I will do it shortly after August 6. You accept?"
Tommy hit back by saying: "I wouldn’t get out of bed to fight you for $500k. Let me know when you’re ready to have a serious conversation." This is the second time their fight has been cancelled as they were set to go head to head on December 18. Tommy withdrew from the fight with a rib injury.
