‘HEARTBROKEN’ Tommy Fury has broken his silence after pulling out of his fight with Jake Paul.
The British star, 22, is suffering with a bacterial chest infection AND a broken rib.
And it means his mega showdown with YouTuber Paul – scheduled for December 18 – is off.
But TNT insisted he still plans to fight, and beat, his American rival in 2022.
Fury said: “I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and broken rib.
“The beginning of my camp was going so incredibly and I never expected anything to come in my way from a victory on December 18.
“I can’t express now disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year.
“I want this fight to happen more than anything.
“I’m now regretfully putting my focus on recovery and a further reschedule date.”
Paul will instead fight Tyron Woodley in a rematch of their August bout.
