“He’s putting the work in and he’s not terrible. But it’ll be a pleasant day when someone chins him.”
Fury pulled out of the original date two weeks before he was set to fight Paul. He complained of a chest infection and a broken rib, and feared the fight would not go ahead.
In a video message put out to social media, the ex-Love Island star told fans: “I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and broken rib. The beginning of my camp was going so incredibly and I never expected anything to come in my way from a victory on December 18.
“I can’t express how disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year. I want this fight to happen more than anything. I’m now regretfully putting my focus on recovery and a further reschedule date.”
