Tommy Fury makes drug-testing claim after accepting Jake Paul fight

Tommy Fury has claimed that Jake Paul only accepted drug testing to prevent further delays to their planned August meeting.

Fury was forced to withdraw from his planned December meeting with Paul last year after suffering a broken rib and chest infection. Now the pair have been in renewed talks over a fresh showdown with Fury today agreeing to Paul's $2 million offer to stage a clash on August 6.

In the build-up to the previous planned event, Fury's father John accused Paul of refusing to sign up to voluntary drug testing. Now Fury has made a fresh claim while agreeing to a bout, writing on Twitter : "The fight is on. August 6th. Forget a team or any other bull****. I don’t need anybody to help me lay you flat on that canvas. Oh and thanks for finally signing the drug testing. You only agreed to it when you realised the fight was at risk - who needs who?"
