Jake Paul has issued a message to Tommy Fury after the British fighter was denied entry to the United States ahead of their press conference in New York City tomorrow. Fury was due to fly out for the conference at Madison Square Garden with Paul for their upcoming boxing bout on August 6.
But Fury has revealed that he was turned away at Heathrow Airport after having his ESTA denied, with the fighter now at the British embassy in an attempt for the issue to be dealt with in order to fly out - Fury added that he has done nothing wrong and has no idea why he has been denied entry.
There have been months of negotiations, with Tommy fighting on the undercard of older brother Tyson's heavyweight championship victory against Dillian Whyte at Wembley in the meantime. That was a routine win against Daniel Bocianski and he will face another unbeaten opponent should this fight go ahead.

It 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.
But Paul is now not happy with Fury once again, who is now highly unlikely to make the press conference tomorrow with the fight itself in question.
On Twitter, Paul said: "Tommy, no matter how hard u try to get out of this fight, I’m going 2 do everything in my power 2 not let u weasel ur way out. My team & my partners have made it clear the steps u need to take 2 solve ur latest excuse. Take them or admit ur a scared little b****. #TommyFumbles."
Fury is now in a race against time to sort his ESTA application before the fight in six weeks time.
