Tommy Fury won’t fight Jake Paul as planned.
The social media superstar posted a video Monday morning announcing that Tyson Fury’s younger brother has pulled out of the bout because of an unknown medical issue. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
However, Jake Paul will still be fighting December 18. He announced that he’ll be doing a rematch against Tyron Woodley.
You can listen to him break down the situation below.

Well, this is unfortunate because I think a lot of people thought Fury would finally be the guy to put Paul down.
However, it just wasn’t meant to be and he’s now been swapped out with Tyron Woodley. Is it as entertaining? I’d say no.
They already fought once, and I’m not sure the rematch will be much different.
Change of plans 👀
Fury has withdrawn from the fight due to medical issues.
We’ll now see @jakepaul vs. @TWooodley run it back on 12.18. #PaulWoodley pic.twitter.com/LbpUzzUjzS

However, let’s not pretend like Woodley doesn’t have the power to put Jake Paul down if he catches him with a good shot.
He landed a bomb against Jake in their first bout, and he nearly ended him right there. Unfortunately for civilized society, Jake managed to claw his way back in that fight.
