Jake Paul drops fresh Tommy Fury fight hint and reveals what he has told his team

Jake Paul has threatened Tommy Fury that his team will move onto finding a new opponent after Fury was denied entry to the United States earlier this week. The American star is clearly not happy Fury after he was denied entry to the US because of an issue with his ESTA.

Fury was due to fly out for the conference at Madison Square Garden with Paul for their upcoming boxing bout on August 6, before Fury revealed that he was turned away at Heathrow Airport.

Since Fury's initial announcement that he was working to clear the issue to fly over to the United States, Fury has been radio silent ahead of their potential fight - further frustrating Paul, who has asked for an update on the situation.

Now, Paul has stated that he's 'on to the next one', hinting that he could look for a new opponent for the August 6 card.

Paul said: "Tommy Fury is in hiding. B**** made. Tyson Fury lawyer never got back to my team on setting up escrow for our $1M bet. Never believed in his brother. Instructed my team to do a Hova and move On To The Next One."

This comes after Fury was forced to pull out of their December 18 fight last year, when he picked up a rib injury and a chest infection - with Paul instead facing Tyron Woodley for the second time. After defeating Woodley, Paul stated he would not fight Fury again - but decided to take up the opportunity to face him - the first time he'll step into a ring with a professional boxer.

Their scheduled fight is just six weeks away, with Paul stating that he would travel to the UK to fight Fury, but he'd have to put up £15 million for him to do so.
