Frank Warren, a promoter of Fury, revealed that the younger Fury brother was sick while he trained in Morecambe.

Warren said to iFL TV, "Tommy had a bit of a fever but hopefully he will be fine."

"We are up at Morecambe (on Wednesday), so hopefully we'll know more there, but he is ready for it and wants to fight.

"He cannot wait for fight, and I know Jake's view is that he cannot wait for fight."

Tyson, the heavyweight champion brother to Tommy, is coaching Tommy for the big-money fight in Florida.

John, Dad John said that his son will earn more money than other world champions to pay for the showpiece against loudmouth Paul.

Both men have never been defeated in their brief professional careers, but they will be putting their records on the line over the eight-round fight.

The Fury camp footage has been leaked and shows the 22-year old showing impressive defensive skills in spite of his infection.

Paul, aka "Problem Child", has made it clear that he will embarrass the British Boxing Family by showing off his intense training regimen.

The Ohio native, aged 24, has been using a neck strengthening technique at his camp Puerto Rico. This move is popular with Floyd Mayweather and Anthony Joshua.
