Tommy Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, is unsure his fight with Jake Paul will ever happen after it was canceled for a second time.

Over the last few years, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have repeatedly traded jabs online, with the pair taking shots at one another over everything from their boxing skills to their relationships.

Their feud was supposed to come to a head at the end of 2021, as they were scheduled to finally fight. Though, a late injury to Tommy during training camp meant that he pulled out at the last minute. Their fight was then rearranged for August 6th, but with the Fury camp struggling to travel to America, Jake had to find a replacement.

With the fight having been canceled for a second time, many fans are unsure if the pair will ever actually fight, and that’s a sentiment shared by Tommy’s own camp.

Speaking to the Daily Express about the fight being canceled, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, noted that they tried to get the travel issues sorted but it was simply too late in the day.

As a result, he’s unsure if the pair will ever fight each other. “God knows. It was supposed to happen, it wasn’t Tommy’s fault, he went to the Airport, took all his team along, the tickets were bought, everything was good to go, but there was a problem with the ESTA,” Warren said.

“I don’t know. If it ever gets resolved we’ll see what happens but Tommy will fight in the meantime while Jake sorts out his date with Rahman Jr on the 6.”

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally agreed to a fight on August 6, 2022 – but extenuating circumstances have put their bout on hold.

The Queensberry Promotions president added that his side will “see what happens in the future,” but he also understands the frustrations on Jake’s side about a second cancelation.

With so much interest in the pair’s feud, it would be a missed opportunity if they didn’t fight, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens later down the line.

JAKE PAUL confirmed he is ready to fight Tommy Fury next and in the UK - but warned it is his rival's third and final chance.

The celebrity boxers have TWICE signed for a grudge match but both times Fury was withdrawn.

An injured rib last December and US visa issues this August saw the 2019 Love Islander pulled out of the pay-per-view paydays.

And Fury's hopes of rescheduling for a third time were dashed after Paul signed to face UFC legend on October 29.

But in the meantime, opposing camps have held talks to finally get the fight done, which would be one final effort.

Paul told SunSport: “This is his last chance, last chance for Tommy.

"And I’m still not sure if we’ll really run that, it’s just an idea, our teams are talking. But there might be bigger fights. 

“When I beat Anderson Silva, a lot more people are going to want to fight me, so there might be bigger names out there and more interesting opportunities. 

“It could happen and if it does I’m happy to come to the UK."

Paul, 25, prepares for the biggest fight of his career this month against Brazilian Silva, 47, who is also 4-1 in the ring.

But when his management team were in Manchester for Amanda Serrano's latest fight, Fury, 23, was also in attendance.

The unbeaten pair even shared a FaceTime call and agreed to revive talks for a trio of times.

But if Fury's travel woes continue, Paul will be forced to cross enemy lines to get his hands on the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson.

The American boxed in an exhibition bout in England in 2018, beating KSI's brother Deji.

And such was the thrill of being the bad guy, Paul is ready to take on both Fury and his fans with another revenge mission across the pond.

He said: "I love the UK fans, I love the UK fans that hate me. I loved fighting over there.

“It’s just such a spectacle, interacting with the fans there, I always love putting on a show and that’s what I love more than anything, honestly. 

“So I would love to come there and have it be a whole circus.” 

Paul is currently in his Puerto Rico training base preparing to fight Silva, his biggest test to date.

The Brazilian is also 4-1 in the ring and his first opponent with a recognised boxing record.

Paul has been sidelined for the year after Fury's latest pullout and replacement Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, also withdrawing amid a weight row.

But there will be no backup option in place for Silva if lightening was to remarkably strike again.

Paul confirmed: "We’re done with the backup thing. Last event proved that is a nightmare, Tommy pulled out and the backup was Hasim. 

“Now Hasim is super famous when nobody knew who he was, now he’s all over the place, he’s damn near a household name because of that whole situation. 

“Then the ‘backup guy’ bailed out and ruined everything. So we’re done with the backup s***.”
