Tommy Fury’s much-anticipated showdown with Jake Paul has reportedly been called off, upsetting thousands of fans who were looking forward to the action-packed event.
Fury, who is the half-brother of Tyson has been forced to withdraw as reports revealed that he may be feeling under the weather and hence was experiencing symptoms of the common cold.
The two mega social media sensations were all set to entertain their fans by stepping into the ring together for an event that was scheduled for December 16th.
But during his training camp, reports began to surface regarding how Fury’s preparations would go in vain as they were disrupted by him getting the cold.
The famous Youtuber-turned boxer Paul ordered Fury to show up for the mega-fight in the war of words.
For those who may not know, both individuals are known to be fierce rivals of one another and this match that was scheduled was a grudge match. Therefore, reports of Fury withdrawing had many fans devastated as they looked forward to seeing the winner of the hyped-up brawl.
The two mega fighters have been involved in countless heated debates and grizzly war of words, just a few months leading up to this event.
Does that mean no match at all? Well, inside sources have gone on to explain how the bout is definitely in the midst of doubt as more and more social media-related news continues to surface regarding the forced dropout.
However, there have been increased reports about how Fury could well be replaced by Tyron Woodley who is another one of Paul’s enemies.

Despite all these rumors, there is yet to be an actual confirmation of the news as fans await anxiously.
