Jake Paul terminates Tommy Fury boxing match (again), eyes son of former heavyweight champ for next fight

Tommy Fury is out (again).

The up-and-coming pro boxer and one-time reality television star was booted from his Jake Paul headliner on Aug. 6 after failing to resolve his travel issues, meaning “TNT” will no longer be part of the Showtime pay-per-view (PPV) card at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City.

“Fury received a termination notice,” Paul wrote on Twitter. “Most Valuable Promotions did everything it could to help him and his team. He wasn’t interested and he literally went into hiding. Second time in a row he pulled out. Second time in a row I’m going to step up and take on a new opponent on short notice. Aug. 6. MSG.”

So what happened?

Fury was blocked from leaving London’s Heathrow Airport early last week and according to Team Paul, needed to pay a visit to the nearest embassy to clear up a minor matter. Not only did the 23 year-old light heavyweight fail to take any corrective measures, he completely dropped off social media.

This marks the second time Fury has been unable to meet his obligation. He was also scheduled to compete against Paul last fall but pulled out due to illness and injury, That paved the way for a rematch between “The Problem Child” and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.


Which ended very poorly for “The Chosen One.”

“Jake Paul is finalizing a deal to face Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6th,” Sports Illustrated writer Chris Mannix wrote on Twitter. “Rahman (12-1) is the son of ex-heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman.”

Rahman Jr. saw his unbeaten streak come to an end last April in Las Vegas, a fifth-round technical knockout loss to James McKenzie Morrison, son of former heavyweight boxing champion Tommy Morrison. Their “Sin City” showdown was for the vacant World Boxing Council United States (USNBC) heavyweight title.

An official announcement regarding Paul vs. Rahman Jr. (pending commission approval) is expected later this week.
The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.

"Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god."

A few PB reals show Rahman dumping sparing session secrets.
Not sure how they get people to pay for this kind of thing but is the revenue enough to pay Pauls opponents a lil extra?
Also Rahman career as a truly aspiring heavy is over at this point if he takes a dive.

Paul has a contracted weight of 200lb and rehydration clauses from what iv heard….Rahman was KO’d a couple months ago….and weight 225lb in that fight….lot of weight to get down to 200 in. A short time

Rahman has had lots of ugly fights where he would've maybe gotten the loss if he wasn't the featured fighter.

His chin ain't the best either as shown by kenzie last time out. Kenzie went all out, no respect and cumulutated enough damage for a stoppage.

Paul needs a huge ring where he runs and uses in and out quick shots. If he hurts Rahman he can then go for the kill..

Both were sparring partners so they are doubts that since Rahman got his loss VS kenzie, he would be cashing out his name

I remember Rahman Jr for crying after his dad was knock out in one of his championship fights. Rahman jr isnt a world beater, but he's a good challenge for Jake Paul if he's serious with moving up the ladder and trying to become a champion (this would take him years).

I still think Jake Paul is just trying to con the fans into a mega fight with Mayweather, McGreggor, Nate Diaz, Mike Tyson and guys like that.

Shawn Porter said on social media (on an interview), the reason the fight was called off was because Jake Paul didnt want Rahman to rehydrate the next day after the weigh in of the fight.
