“Damn I was finna get an M to walk Jake out smh,” Durkio wrote in a since deleted tweet. Fury had previously withdrawn from fighting Jake Paul in 2021 due to injury and sickness, and now seemingly might not be able to enter the United States after he revealed his travel visa had been denied. His team confirmed it had not expired.
