He told him. Tommy Fury didn’t listen to Jake Paul’s warning that he will replace him if he doesn’t contact the embassy until Wednesday. And it seems that this is already through. Tommy Fury didn’t contact the embassy, nor Jake to confirm the bout. So the public accepts this as his ‘resignation’ from contender to face Paul.
However, the problem kid is not short of offers, as he says. He has several major names lined up waiting to fight him. And, he chose the son of the professional boxer Hasib Rahman, Hasib Rahman Jr. Rahman Sr is famous for knocking out Lenox Lewis, one of the best boxers at the time.
Tommy Fury Officially Out – Jake Paul Will Face Son Of Ex-Champion Hasim Rahman
This is the second time that Tommy Fury leaves Jake Paul without an opponent. The first time was back in December. Then he canceled the bout due to infection and injury on short notice leaving Jake without much choice. He somehow managed to make Tyron Woodley who he had already beaten previously come to the stage and save the day. But this time, Tommy left Paul some more time, so he can find someone who would have time to prepare for a fight.
Tommy Fury is prevented entrance into the US due to his alleged connection to the UK mafia. However, seems like he doesn’t bother too much to prove that he is no threat and can enter the country.
Fury is silent the whole time. No comments, no tweets, no updates from his side. Jake on the other side is furious. In the most recent tweet, he states that he will give the Englishman until Wednesday to confirm if he will fight or not, and after that, he considers him out.
“Tommy is officially out by Wednesday morning if he doesn’t go to the embassy / come out of hiding.” – Paul tweets. “3 other opponents lined up. I’m built differently.”
Wednesday is here and there is no update from Tommy. Will Paul keep up to his word?
It ia reported that Jake already agreed on fighting Rahman Jr. in Tommy Fury’s place. Rahman Jr. is a professional boxer as well. He has a record of 12-1-0. Rahman is a bigger threat to Paul than Tommy. He has more experience and is considerably taller. Rahman Jr. is a boxer that respects Jake Paul as a legitimate boxer, for a change.
“If he keeps doing what he does, there’s no reason to count him out in any fight. I come from the Rahman family, so we already know when people get slept on that’s when they wake up the world.” – Rahman Jr. says. “So, don’t sleep on that he can fight, you better stop sleeping on him, he can fight.”
What do you think, is Rahman Jr. a good replacement? Does Jake have any chance against him?
