Tommy Fury will be replaced by Hasim Rahman Jr as Jake Paul's next opponent after missing his deadline to save their August fight.
The British fighter, whose brother is world heavyweight champion Tyson, has once again been forced out of a fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, this time due to a travel ban. He was unable to fly to America to launch their fight at a press conference last week, resulting in a scramble to find a new opponent.
Fury had signed a contract believed to be worth around $2million for the August 6 fight and was given until today to prove he would be able to meet his commitment. But Mirror Fighting broke the news yesterday that Rahman was set to step in, with official confirmation expected tomorrow.
