TOMMY FURY claims that withdrawing from Jake Paul's fight was one of the most difficult times of his life.
The younger brother of Tyson Fury was meant to face the loudmouth Youtuber-turned-boxer back in December but pulled out through injury.
Due to a rib injury, Tommy Fury and Jake Paul had to end their fight.
TalkSPORT Fight Night Fury stated that he was against pulling out of the fight. It was one of the most difficult times in my life, because it was something we all strive towards as boxers.
"To be the headline of a major American event is something we want and train for our whole lives.
"It took two weeks for it to happen, and then I was left with such a severe injury with a broken bone and three doctors telling me not to fight.
"It was a difficult blow to take, and it still hurts when I think about it."
