Jake Paul has cancelled his boxing match with Tommy Fury after claiming the half-brother of Tyson Fury ‘wasn’t interested and literally went into hiding’.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was due to go head-to-head with Fury on August 6 at Madison Square Garden, but doubts over their fight started to creep in when the Brit was banned from travelling to America for their press conference.
Paul has since taken to Twitter to announce that he and his team had issued Fury with a termination notice after doing ‘everything’ they could to arrange the fight.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is now said to be planning for a fight against heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr.
While Rahman Jr hasn’t fought many big names while building a 12-1 record, his father famously knocked out Lennox Lewis to take the world heavyweight championship in 2001 in one of the biggest upsets the sport had seen for years.
