Tommy Fury will be without Tyson and John for Jake Paul fight after dad lets slip heavyweight champ is BANNED from USA | The Sun

TOMMY FURY will be without his dad and brother Tyson for the biggest fight of his life.

The 23-year-old Love Island star has apparently signed a contract to finally face American YouTube millionaire Jake Paul on August 6 in New York.


But the light-heavyweight's father and trainer John – who is banned from the USA over a 2011 conviction for a violent crime – has claimed his WBC heavyweight champ boy is also banned.

John has not been allowed to attend any of Fury's Stateside shows after gouging a man's eye out in a fight at a car auction.

But he now claims the 33-year-old WBC heavyweight champion of the world has also been blocked from visiting the boxing hotbed.

In a since deleted social media video, ex-fighter John Fury barked to Paul: "You can have the fight on August 6 but it has got to be not in America because all of us at the minute are suspended and banned for life, I can't get there at all.

"Tyson can't get over there because he has a few issues at the moment that he is trying to sort out. So Tommy has got no team.

"Listen if you want to negotiate a different price we will take less money to fight you anywhere else in the world on August 6.

"If you can't do it there is not a problem we will get you again. 

"But this needs to be promoted properly and at the minute it's a poor job.

Tommy should have boxed Paul last year but pulled out with a chest infection.

But he insists the celebrity showdown is definitely happening this time, even without his fighting family.
