Jake Paul is undeniably frustrated after Tommy Fury canceled their fight once again. He canceled the original fight in December due to an alleged chest infection. Now, Fury said he can't attend the event on August 6 due to travel restrictions.
At this point, Paul is fed up with the excuses and discussed his frustration with The New York Post's Jared Schwartz.

āI think the pressure cracks him. He definitely doesn't want the fight. And if he did, he would've gotten into the USā¦He's the joker here. He's the clown, and he's the one who doesn't back up anything that he's saying.ā Jake Paul said, questioning Fury's seriousness in fighting him.
Despite two cancellations, Paul is still open to taking the ring with Fury in the future. However, it's up to Fury to make it happen.
āIf his promoters set up the fight in the UK and they want to pay me $15 million, I'll show up and just take the bag and take the knockout. But I'm tired of putting on the event and then him backing out and ruining my event.ā
When asked why he was so adamant about keeping the August 6 date at Madison Square Garden, Jake Paul had a few reasons. He noted the responsibility he has to his fans and the people involved in the event, as well as his obsession with fighting.
āIt's like having a Ferrari in your garage that you don't driveā¦For me, it's about making historyā¦I'm fighting in the most legendary arena, on the biggest stage and that, to me, is more important than waiting for this little [expletive] kid.ā
The show must go on. Paul takes on Hasim Rahman Jr. at MSG on August 6.
