"It led me to sleepless nights and that went on for about four weeks because I had the mindset of I’m going to keep training, I’m going to get through this, I’m going to have the fight no matter what.

Tommy - brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury - also suggested that there was 'no other fight' that he wants when he recovers from his injury.
He added: "I was throwing up from the pain, I was doubled over, I literally got my bag and went straight to the hospital, straight for an MRI scan, and I got the results back the same day and the results uncovered that I had a clean break in my rib and I had multiple fractures.
"All my focus is on right now is getting a new fight date set and recovering.
"That’s all I can do right now, I can’t do anything else apart from get my body right as quickly as possible and look for a new fight date with Jake Paul.
"There’s no other fight that I want out there, that’s the fight that I want next.
"Like I said, I’m just going to recover now and hopefully we can work out a new date for next year."
Paul has also goaded Tyson following the news that Tommy pulled out of the fight, to let him know what he thought of his brother.
