Why Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul press conference has been cancelled as US entry denied

Tommy Fury and Jake Paul were set to finally come face to face this week, with Fury travelling to New York in order to participate in a press conference alongside the American YouTube star.

However, the British boxer has revealed that Visa issues have meant that he is unable to travel to the US for the press conference, which subsequently puts the entire fight in jeopardy. Fury revealed the issues in a video posted to Instagram, telling fans that he had been denied entry because his ESTA was invalid for an unknown reason.

Tourists and business travellers into the US must have a valid ESTA before entering the country, however, there are also questions to answer upon entering the country, with the US's border controls notoriously tight. However, Fury revealed that he was stopped from boarding the plane at Heathrow as he explained in a video posted to social media.
