Jake Paul August 6 fight: Sparring footage emerges vs potential Tommy Fury replacement

Lightning may or may not strike twice, but Tommy Fury has pulled out of a fight with Jake Paul twice.

The 23-year-old British boxer claims to have been denied entry to the United States of America, forcing him to take a step back once again, having previously done so due to a broken rib and a chest infection.

Addressing the situation on his Twitter, Paul wrote: “Fury’s received a termination notice. (Promoter) MVP did everything it could to help him and team. He wasn’t interested and he literally went into hiding.

“Second time in a row he has pulled out. Second time in a row I’m going to step up and take on a new opponent on short notice. AUG 6. MSG.”

And the new opponent is allegedly going to be Hasim Rahman Jr., son of former world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman.

The cruiserweight has already had a sparring session with Paul before, and to the shock of many, it went better for the latter than it did for his counterpart.

However, we must stress the clip that has emerged is only 10 seconds long, so we have no idea how the rest of the sparring session went.

But, in the clip further down this article, Paul does land a lovely shot to the head of Rahman Jr, to the surprise of many.

“I kind of expected the same thing that I boxed the first time – and that’s not what I got,” he said of Paul following a second sparring session with him in 2020.
