Tommy Fury was absent from his press conference with Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia because of a "private and personal matter".
Love Island star Fury was supposed to be in Riyadh on Wednesday evening to attend a press conference with Paul ahead of their grudge fight on February 26. Paul revealed last week that Fury wouldn't be flying to the Middle East for the event, claiming the Brit needed more time to train for the fight. Fury's promoter, George Warren, was speaking on the boxer's behalf at the press conference and gave a different reason for his absence.
"Everything we are hearing from camp is that he is looking excellent in the gym. He sends his apologies for not being here in person, he is dealing with a private and personal matter at the moment. Make no mistake, he will be here in due time to publicise and promote the event. We are planning to bring him in around 10 days before the event," Warren said.
