According to a story on his Instagram page Tommy Fury was prevented from boarding a flight to the US at London’s Heathrow Airport today. Fury said that he was pulled aside by US agents and told he knew the reason why he was barred from entering the US.
“So I just want to come on here and set the record straight before anyone else tries to,” he said (ht ESPN). “Me and my team this morning arrived at Heathrow Airport ready for the press conference, ready to fly out.
“As soon as I entered the airport I got pulled to one side and I was told by a homeland security officer that was there that my ESTA [travel permit] had been denied and I wasn’t able to travel to the USA for a reason that I apparently know.
