Tommy Fury claims Jake Paul almost got fight postponed due to drug test Instagram\/Jake PaulTommy Fury has hit back against Jake Paul\u2019s claims that he almost didn\u2019t agree to the match by pivoting the focus onto Paul\u2019s alleged refusal to sign up for drug testing. Fury has hit back against Paul\u2019s recent string of tweets and trash talk, firing back against the 27-year-old American boxer and calling him out for his supposed hesitancy in signing up for drug testing. On Instagram, Fury posted a short video, outlining that he allegedly waited \u201cweeks and weeks for Jake Paul to sign up to the drug testing,\u201d putting their \u201cfight at risk\u201d in the process. He then went on to add that, \u201cwe\u2019ve agreed to a contract that we\u2019re happy with so the fight is going ahead.\u201d View this post on Instagram While the two were originally set to face off last year, Fury was forced to pull out of the match due to a last-minute injury. This then led to Paul\u2019s rematch with former UFC champ Tyron Woodley. In the past week, back and forth online exchanges between Paul and Fury have been constant. Ahead of their fight, the two have been calling each other out and insinuating that the other is too scared to go ahead with their highly anticipated bout. Rumours of a rescheduled match between the two have been rampant for months, it was only earlier this week that the ball really got moving and it was set in stone and announced publicly. On June 22, Paul sent out a tweet to Fury, challenging him to the fight and giving him 24 hours to accept the offer. Tommy Fury, you pulled out last year.
