The controversial fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury continues with interesting 'ingredients' due to the rivalry surrounding the duel, scheduled to take place on December 18th, in Tampa (USA). And, in an interview with the Spanish sports newspaper 'Trademarks', former boxer and father John Fury stated that the YouTuber refused to take an anti-doping test.

“There’s a lot in the fight contract where they say you need to do this and that. I could go into more depth, but I don't want to bore people. They also didn't sign up for World Anti-Doping Agency drug testing and that bothered me a little. I wanted that in the contract, but they didn’t accept it,” said John.
Surrounded by speculation, Paul is still constantly questioned about his fights and part of the boxing community accuses him of fixing his victory. Asked about the topic, John Fury ruled out any possibility of Tommy 'selling' the fight.
“I’m not even bothered by it as they’re going to fight anyway. We just want the fight because we know we can beat him. People think Tommy is being paid to lose, but they have to be kidding. A Fury would rather be sentenced to death than go down that path,” he concluded.
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 and Tyron woodley in his meteoric rise in boxing.
