Jake Paul has threatened to sue Tommy Fury over the REAL reason he pulled out of their upcoming fight.

You will recall, Fury was due to face Paul back in December but pulled out with an apparent broken rib and was subsequently replaced by former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.

Fury was given a second bite at the cherry by Paul, who he was supposed to be fighting in the United States next month. However, once again, not all went to plan.

Fury and his team claimed that they were denied entry to the US ahead of the first press conference, and after a period of radio silence, the fight was called off by Paul.

As if the second withdrawal from Fury wasn’t enough to leave Paul enraged, it now looks as though there might have been an underlying reason as to why Fury didn’t want the fight.

According to his own father, Fury was not in adequate shape to fight Paul. Has Big John inadvertently thrown his son under the bus here – or was there actually an element of intent?
