Tommy Fury is frustrated! The boxer was scheduled to fight on December 18th, when he would face the current YouTube sensation, Jake Paul, in Tampa (USA). He, however, ended up injuring his rib and was forced to leave his role – which should be occupied by Tyron woodley – of the event.

In a press release, the fighter reported how the injury took him out of his commitment. He even opens the game and says he had a chest infection and admits that he wants to reschedule the duel in the future.
“I feel frustrated at having to get out of my fight with Jake Paul for a broken rib and chest infection. In my training, everything was going very well and I didn't expect this to happen halfway to victory. I'm disappointed and I want to reschedule this fight for next year. I want it to happen. But now I’m focused on my recovery,” said Fury.
Tommy Fury is undefeated in his career as a professional boxer. At 22 years old, Tyson's brother has won seven consecutive victories. His last fight took place in August, when he beat Anthony Taylor, on a card starring the YouTuber himself.
Jake Paul, in turn, also never lost in four fights – with Ben Askren in his meteoric rise in boxing. He must now measure forces for the second time against Tyron woodley, his last opponent, with the first duel ending in a split decision from the judges.
