PROMOTER Frank Warren continues to try and save Tommy Fury's fight against Jake Paul.
They signed for a second meeting to end their celebrity grudge match. This time, it was at New York's Madison Square Garden on August 6.

The fight was put into doubt when Fury announced that he had been banned from traveling to America for a press conference.
Paul has given his opponent until TOMORROW to resolve his visa issues or a new opponent. Three have been lined up.
Warren, Fury's promoter, said that no appointment had been made with the US Embassy on Sunday.
According to him, iFLTV had no appointment. I understand their point of view.
"They have a show to put on or whatever, and if it doesn't work out they'll move to another opponent. So we'll keep working at it and trying to make it happen.
This fight collapse could be another repeat of December last year, when Fury, 23 years old, withdrew from the fight after sustaining a broken rib injury.
Paul, 25 years old, was forced to replace Tyron Woodley (40), the former champion of UFC who he had defeated on points four months prior.
It was KOs more than YouTuber "AnEsonGib", an ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38 and Ben Askren, 37.
SIGN UP DEALS AND FREE BETS - THE BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERINGSFury would have been Paul’s first opponent with a recognized boxing record.
The American had to re-invent the wheel and find a substitute for the late notice.
Paul tweeted: "Tommy will be officially out Wednesday morning if it doesn't go the embassy/come out of hiding.
"3 other competitors lined up. I'm built different."
