Jake Paul sends message to Tommy Fury after British Embassy visit amid fight fears

Jake Paul has sent a message to Tommy Fury at the time the two should have been going face-to-face for their press conference on Wednesday afternoon. The American star was left furious by Fury after the latter was denied entry to the United States 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 after having his ESTA denied.

Fury has since been 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.

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.

And after sending Fury a message yesterday, Paul has now sent another video to Fury of him training in New York City ahead of their hopeful fight date in just six weeks.

Paul said: "Tommy Fury is avoiding going to the embassy to get his visa. It’s been 36 hours with no action from his side, and per Tommy Fumbles style he missed the press conference today in NYC. Get to the embassy and go get your f****** visa. I'm going to knock you the f*** out on August 6."
