Love Island star Fury, the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, was set to make his ring return tonight in Dubai against the relatively unknown Bamba, who has a record of 5-2. The fight was contracted at light-heavyweight and Bamba successfully weighed in at 174.6lb, but Fury missed the mark by almost 7lb as he stepped on the scale at 181.4lb and the fight was subsequently cancelled. There was confusion over the contracted weight as Fury insisted he made the weight highlights his own contract, whilst Bamba claimed the fight was to be contested at 175lb. Bamba expected Fury to come in slightly overweight, but refused to fight when he realised it was considerably more than that. Fury has now been given a new opponent, who is yet to be announced, and the Brit has insisted he never missed weight in the first place. What are your thoughts on Tommy Fury's weight fiasco? Let us know in the comments section below "I just want to clear a few things up, one contract was given to Paul Bamba and one contract was given to myself," Fury said in an Instagram video. "The weight in my contract I made yesterday, so as far as I'm concerned I've done my job, I made weight. Paul Bamba does not want to fight, he never did. I'm here in Dubai, I've got a new opponent and I'm ready to go, so I'll see you all tonight." Fury then released a follow-up statement that read: "Just to clarify, I made the weight specified in MY contract as I have for every fight I've ever fought. If Paul Bamba was told a different weight that he had to make for this fight then that has NOTHING to do with me."

Tommy Fury will remain on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Deji after being given a new opponent having missed weight for his fight with Paul Bamba.
Love Island star Fury, the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, was set to make his ring return tonight in Dubai against the relatively unknown Bamba, who has a record of 5-2. The fight was seemingly contracted at light-heavyweight and Bamba successfully weighed in at 174.6lb, but Fury missed the mark by almost 7lb as he stepped on the scale at 181.4lb and the fight was subsequently cancelled.
There was confusion over the contracted weight as Fury insisted he made the weight he was supposed to, but Bamba was adamant his contract said the fight was at 175lb. Bamba expected Fury to come in a pound or two overweight, but refused to fight when he realised it was considerably more than that. Fury has now been given a new opponent, who is yet to be announced, and the Brit has insisted he never missed weight in the first place.
