JAKARTA - Tommy Fury may not be accompanied by his father and coach, John, when he gets into the ring next month. Tommy will fight YouTuber actor Jake Paul.
Fury's duel against Jake is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on February 26. However, Fury's father may be absent after suffering a broken ankle injury during the break.
"My father is currently using a plug because his ankle is broken. Hopefully he can recover in the next four weeks. I don't know," Fury said as quoted by The Sun.
The 23-year-old boxer is currently training at Bolton and is under intense scrutiny from his father. However, there is no certainty that the father will be able to be present to accompany his son in the ring later.
"This is my own careless mistake, running on the ice when it shouldn't be. This is what happened. I will do my best, that is my left leg," said John.
Fury got a third chance to fight Paul after resigning in December 2021 due to a rib injury and last August due to visa problems entering the United States.
The British professional boxer came to Riyadh to challenge Jake with a slick record. He is noted to have not lost in front of his fight (4 KOs), a reputation that has earned him the right to burn himself up.
However, Fury admits that he really respects the potential opponents he will face. Moreover, Jake is also unbeaten in the six professional fights he has fought.
"I have no grudge against boxers who have influence. They all have the ability to get into the ring and fight in front of many people," he said.
