Jake Paul and Tommy Fury’s long-awaited fight has hit yet another roadblock.
Fury was denied entry to the United States from England by Homeland Security officers who stopped him at Heathrow Airport Tuesday morning. The 23-year-old light heavyweight and former “Love Island” star was attempting to travel to New York for his Wednesday press conference at Madison Square Garden for the bout with the YouTube megastar.
“Me and my team this morning arrived at Heathrow Airport ready for the press conference, ready to fly out,” Fury said in a video posted on his Instagram story. “And as soon as I entered the airport I got pulled to one side and I was told by the Homeland Security officer that was there that my ESTA had been denied and I wasn’t able to travel to the USA for a reason that I apparently know.
Tommy Fury spoke on his Instagram story on Tuesday addressing being denied entry into the United States.Earlier this month, Fury’s half-brother and boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was denied access to the United States along with other boxers over alleged links to. The influential boxing promoter and head of MTK Global has been accused by the High Court of Ireland as a senior figure in organized crime on a global scale.
Tommy’s current holdup is not believed to be related to Tyson and his current ban from entering America, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Tommy was not expecting any hiccups in his travel, and the issue is believed to be clerical surrounding missing or incorrect paperwork instead of related to Tyson’s ban. There is confidence the issue will be quickly resolved and the fight’s Aug. 6 date will remain intact.
