Tommy Fury will return on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's exhibition bout with YouTube star Deji in Dubai, but talks broke down early for a fight with Tyron Woodley.
Mirror Fighting understands that Fury is likely to face little-known 5-2 New Yorker Paul Bamba, as was first reported by Boxing Scene, after turning down a bout with UFC legend Woodley. The former Love Island star, who is 8-0 as a professional boxer, was initially offered to face the 0-2 Woodley, whose two losses came against his rival Jake Paul last year.
Sources have indicated that Fury was never particularly close to fighting Woodley, and turned him down relatively early in the discussions. They then offered him Harley Benn, Geordie Shore star-turned-boxer Aaron Chalmers, British MMA icon Paul Daley and a host of other better-known names than Bamba.
