TOMMYFURY'S rearranged fight against Jake Paul could be in danger of being SCRAPPED, after Jake Paul revealed that he was denied entry to the US.
Fury, 23 years old, was scheduled to speak at a New York press conference tomorrow in support of the fight.
Tommy Fury confirmed that he was denied entry to the United States
Now, however, the August 6 clash with YouTuber and boxer Paul has been thrown into doubt.
Fury posted on Instagram that his ESTA (which is required to enter America) was rejected.
This comes amid rumours Tyson, his brother and heavyweight champion, is being prevented from entering the USA because of his connections with Daniel Kinahan.
Tommy stated: "So I just wanted to come here and set the record right before anyone else attempts to."

"Me and my team arrived at Heathrow Airport this morning ready for the press conference. We are now ready to fly out.
"As soon I entered the airport, I was pulled to one side. A homeland security officer told me that my ESTA had not been granted and that I couldn't travel to the USA due to a reason I don't know.
"I can say that I've done nothing wrong, and I don't know why I'm not allowed to travel to America.
"Like I said, I have been training for a fight all my life. That's all I do."

"Now, I have to go to embassies to resolve it. And I'm still training men.
"I don’t know what happened, it’s a huge shock to me and my entire team. It's obvious that it's a problem that must be solved, it's government problems. It's much bigger than this fight, and I'm trying to resolve it.
"But I just wanted you to know where it was."
