Tommy Fury rejects Jake Paul's latest offer to keep August 6 fight on

Tommy Fury has today rejected Jake Paul's latest proposal to keep their fight alive, with an offer to fight in the UK laughed off by the 22-year-old Brit.

Paul had been seemingly set to fight Hasim Rahman Jr after Fury missed yesterday's deadline to sort his visa issues, but now it appears that the American YouTube star is determined to keep the deal alive. Yesterday, Fury tweeted a message to fans on Wednesday confirming that he would be unable to fight but kept the door open for the future.

“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 have never anticipated happening. This situation has been left with my lawyers as being denied entry to a country is obviously a very serious issue and it needs to subsequently be resolved." Fury wrote.
