Jake Paul says he is walking away from his proposed fight against Jake Paul in August, insisting the Briton has shown ‘no urgency’ to address the issues that have left their bout in major jeopardy.

Paul and Fury, who were originally scheduled to meet last December until the former was ruled out through injury, agreed a new deal earlier this month and were set to meet at Madison Square Garden on 6 August.

A press event was scheduled to take place this week but Fury was denied access into the United States on Monday, prevented from boarding his fight at Heathrow.

The former Love Island star has insisted he is trying to resolve the issue but Paul insists he has heard nothing from the Briton’s camp, suggesting he is now moving on and will find another opponent.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has also accused Tyson Fury, Tommy’s half-brother, of failing to follow through on their $1million bet.

‘Tommy Fury is in hiding,’ Paul wrote. “B***h made.

‘Tyson Fury’s lawyer never got back to my team on setting up escrow for our $1million bet. Never believed in his brother.

‘Instructed my team to do a Hova [rapper Jay-Z ] and move On To The Next One.’

In a video posted on Wednesday, Paul suggested he would be willing to come to the UK to fight Fury – but only for the right price.

‘We have spoken to Tommy Fury’s lawyers, they’re all advising him to just go to the embassy to get his visa,’ Paul said.

‘That’s all he has to do. But Tommy is showing no urgency, he hasn’t gone yet, he’s not communicating with us on what he’s doing.

‘This is another case of Tommy Fumbles just being scared to fight me. I think that’s what this is. I think the Fury family’s trying to manipulate something to get me to fight in the UK.

‘You want me to fight in the UK? Show me $15million. Because, here in America, we do more PPV buys, more ticket sales and more sponsorships.

‘I’ve shown you the money, we’re ready to go. MSG, August 6th. Tommy, you’re going to miss the biggest pay day of your life because you want me to go to the UK?

‘I’ll come there just show me the money but you can’t do that. This is embarrassing. Go to the embassy, get your visa, stop ducking me and stop wasting my time.’
