Tommy Fury has been prevented from flying to the United States, where he was set to meet Jake Paul at a press conference in New York on June 29. Fury's rescheduled match with YouTube sensation Paul was last week officially confirmed for August 6 at Madison Square Garden, New York.
The fight was announced shortly after Fury's dad, John, admitted that Tommy would have to travel stateside without several members of his team. Fury has now confirmed that he will not be able to attend the press conference, which was later cancelled, putting his fight with the social media star into doubt.
Speaking on Instagram, he said: "Me and my team arrived at Heathrow Airport ready to fly out and as soon as I entered the airport I was pulled to one side and told by a Homeland Security officer that my ESTA had been denied and that I wasn't able to travel to the USA for a reason I apparently know", The Mirror reports.
