Jake Paul claims Tommy Fury ‘went into hiding,’ will have new opponent for next month

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have failed to end up in a boxing ring once again.

Paul said he has moved on from Fury for his Aug. 6 fight in a tweet sent out Wednesday morning. Paul claimed that Most Valuable Promotions tried everything to help Fury enter the country following his visa issues which led to last week’s cancellation of the press conference.

TMZ reported Fury’s visa issues were caused by his family’s link to suspected mobster Daniel Kinahan.

According to SI ,, Paul will now face Hasim Rahman Jr. in the Madison Square Garden’s next-month’s headline bout.

An official announcement for Paul’s fight will be made Thursday.

Fury and Paul were originally supposed to face each other last December, but Fury was unable to continue due to a chest infection. Fury also suffered a fractured rib and pulled out. Paul went on to defeat Tyron Woodley for the second time via sixth-round knockout on Dec. 18, 2021.
