I believe he got injured... fights get postponed all the time due to injury. I am sure it will be rescheduled.
I agree the fight will be competitive but I still think Fury will win.
I don't think Paul will give him another fight, said as much today, didn't feel Fury sold the fight well, missed a press conference and of course the fight, said he didn't like the family either.
He should have taken the fight with 2 broken ribs! He would have earned more than most world champions.
Totally agree.
The interview last week with John and Tyson spouting off at Jake was uncomfortable to watch; its clear to see that behind the viewer friendly personas they typically present - those two are proper nasty individuals.
Tommy may not have inherited the Fury fighting spirit, and Homer Simpson physique of Tyson and John; but hopefully he will have come out the winner in avoiding their personality traits too.
Jake Paul is probably over the moon to deny giving the Furys one penny.
Its still jake pauls only really good earning, winnable, Boxer with a name in his weight fight..
So i think tommy will get a chance again later. Although i would not be shocked if Jake paul offers it to him for a bit less money, just as punnishment. Thats what i would do, basicaly offer him 70% of what his current purse was., somthing like that.
Jake Paul is just a social media celebrity; he could just as easily arrange to box some washed up and cash strapped soap star and hype it as much as the D list celeb Tommy

Jake Paul could just as easy have THE Mike Tyson in the opposite corner to get publicity.
Not that I have followed this much more than seeing bits on Instagram. That last interview with Tyson and John had Jake Paul looking quite uncomfortable .. added with apparent comments he personally doesn't like the Fury family; I see him looking elsewhere for his shows.
That Tommy posted the x-ray is kind of a desperate "honest boss .. I'm really sick today"

Not really. People would moan if he didn't prove it. Who's THE Mike Tyson? Is there two of them?

The casuals who follow Jake Paul aren`t going to remember Tommy Fury in 6 months time anyways.
Actually BOXREC have 3 Mike Tysons listed .. can you guess which is THE Mike Tyson that Tyson Fury was named after?

Jake Paul has spent his whole career being a prick to people. It was good to see him meet his match off Tyson and John in that presser.
Think it’s still a fight Paul wants. But watch the shenanigans begin. Tommy will want same pay, Paul will offer him Half…. That’s what I’d do anyway, make lil tommy fury beg for it.

Paul shouldnt give Tommy the time of day.
Tommy shit himself.
Paul could fight a bum dragged from the street and make millions. He doesnt need Tommy Fury.
Tommy shit himself and lost nearly a million.
Why would he shit himself?
If he broke a rib all it would need is a few good shots and he would have got stopped - why give Paul the advantage?
Paul needs Fury at this moment in time, it's a slightly different sport Paul is partaking in than the one Fury is doing - it is celebrity PPV, eight rounders and he needs to be in the ring with novices with marquee value so what more marquee value can you bring when you are the handsome, reality TV winning younger brother of the world heavyweight boxing champion?

I disagree, if Fury was really confident of winning he would have fought injured, even if he lost the fight the payday was huge, he may never earn that money again, lots of world champs earn less.
Paul is a hype machine, the fighting isn't even that important, he got all the hype from the Furys for free, now he doesn't need the fight as it was Fury who pulled out.

TOMMY FURY HAS thrown down the gauntlet to Jake Paul and challenged him to reschedule their planned encounter for next time out in early 2022.
Fury, who was forced out of his clash with the American after suffering a chest infection and fractured rib, admitted he was a forlorn figure watching his rival take on and beat his previous opponent, former MMA star Tyron Woodley, in a rematch in the early hours of Sunday morning in Florida.
Paul, now 5-0 as a pro, flattened the former UFC welterweight champion in the sixth round with a spectacular single punch KO.
Watching back at home was Fury, wondering what might have been had he been in the opposite corner as the first boxer to oppose the YouTube phenomenon.
“I’m not good, to be honest with you and I have not gone on social media since I posted the video explaining why the fight was off,” Fury exclusively told Dev Sahni on The Unibet Lowdown. “I have probably been at the lowest point I have been in in my entire life. I have never felt or experienced anything so low.
“Imagine having everything you ever dreamt of and then having it ripped away from you through no fault of your own. It is a bitter pill to swallow.
“The chest is one thing, but having a rib break too and even now I don’t think I have really swallowed that pill and I don’t think I will because it was such a massive, easy night for me.”
Despite the brutal finish to the fight, the 7-0 Fury was resoundingly unimpressed by what he witnessed and insists it is now time for Paul to cease calling out and fighting opponents with a non-boxing pedigree.
“I think it shows what sort of place you are in when the commentator says ‘this is pretty hard to watch now’ and the joking between the commentators asking ‘who won that round? Well, nobody.” That went on for well more than half the fight.
“It was very upsetting for me to sit there and watch it. I know, if I had been in there, it wouldn’t have been going six, seven rounds or whatever it was. For the first four or five rounds the guy didn’t throw a punch, they were just wrestling each other.
“So for me to sit there and watch that… It was meant to be my night, my time. That should have been me in Tampa Bay, Florida in front of thousands of people and it will be me. I do believe my time will come, me and Frank are trying to figure out the next date for ourselves to get that fight rescheduled because that is the fight I want next.
“To hear him after the fight calling out all these MMA people. I don’t get what he is trying to achieve with these UFC people. He wants to be a boxer, doesn’t he? So fight a boxer. Stop calling out all these wrestlers and non-boxers.
“I think he is very lucky that it wasn’t me in there instead of Tyron Woodley. I am trying to give him a bit more credit, but I just can’t. People who come out and don’t do anything against me get put to sleep.”
He’s been stitched up a a little by Tyson/his Dad giving it large which has made it even worse for him pulling out of the fight.
Him and FW will be desperate to get it back on but he’s not a big name in the US so will only get it if Jake wants to and thinks he can easily beat him.
Masvidal would be a much much bigger fight in the US. Tommy may help it do a little bit of business over here but I can’t imagine many of his love island fans will be wanting to stay up until 4am and pay £20 for the privilege to watch it.

Yeh, his dad and Tyson and talking for him, and it's not making Tommy look any better,
