Jake Paul terminates Tommy Fury fight contract and accuses rival of ‘hiding’

Jake Paul has confirmed he has terminated the fight agreement with Tommy Fury and accused his rival of ‘hiding’.

The Love Island star was denied entry to the United States last month, citing Visa issues, while attempting to travel and attend a press conference ahead of his scheduled fight with the American.

Fury was forced to pull out of the fight which was originally slated to take place last December and Paul has now ran out of patience.

‘I can stand here and say I have done nothing wrong and I have no clue why I’m not allowed to travel to the USA.

‘I’ve been training for a fight this whole time and that’s all I’ve been doing. I have no clue why I’m not allowed to travel and neither does my team or my lawyers.
