Tommy Fury reputation in USA soars after Jake Paul win but he still faces familiar issue

His profile Stateside has soared since he beat Jake Paul in a much-hyped fight in Saudi Arabia...but Tommy Fury ’s bid for stardom in the US could be scuppered amid questions over his visa status.

The 23-year-old - halfbrother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Love Island star - announced last June he had been refused entry by Homeland Security. Now following Sunday night’s fight, any work opportunities in the States could prove problematic despite his increased media status.

He said at the time that he had “no idea” why his ESTA was denied at London’s Heathrow Airport, adding: “I have done nothing wrong and I have no clue why I’m not allowed to travel.”
