Tommy Fury is avoiding going to the embassy to get his visa. It’s been 36 hours with no action from his side, and per Tommy Fumbles style he missed the press conference today in NYC. pic.twitter.com/kyVfepGXFA

TMZ is reporting that Fury’s travel issues are due to his older brother, world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, and his suspected ties to the Kinahan organized crime group.
Paul also made a bet with Fury’s brother for $1 million over the proposed fight. But that never came to fruition either according to the YouTube sensation. And now Paul says that he’s moving “on to the next one” with the fight in serious doubt.
Tommy Fury is in hiding. Bitch made.
Tyson Fury lawyer never got back to my team on setting up escrow for our $1M bet. Never believed in his brother.
Instructed my team to do a Hova and move On To The Next One ☝️

What exactly the next one is for Paul, no one knows. But one fight that has repeatedly been discussed is with UFC superstar Nate Diaz. Just recently, Paul and Diaz were involved in a triple threat feud that also involved UFC president Dana White.
Fury’s team has not responded to Paul since the original notice that he was unable to enter the country. But these days the story seems to change from day-to-day.
