Tommy Fury gets the chance to prove he is more than just a reality TV star on Saturday night at Wembley. Tyson Fury’s half-brother has been selected to be on the undercard of the Gypsy King’s big British heavyweight clash against Dillian Whyte.
The former Love Island star came to the British public’s attention during the 2019 edition of the hit ITV2 series.
However, he has serious ambitions to make it as a boxer and follow in Tyson’s footsteps.
In December last year, he was set to fight with professional YouTuber Jake Paul but pulled out due to a bacterial infection and a broken rib.
But he has fully recovered and is ready to get his boxing career back on track at Wembley on Saturday before Tyson fights Whyte.
Here’s everything you need to know about Tommy Fury…

He won his last fight by unanimous decision against Anthony Taylor and now is set to fight against Daniel Bocianski in front of a bumper crowd at Wembley and potentially a massive PPV audience.
Tommy Fury: Professional record
Given that he is only 22, Fury has only managed seven fights in his short career, but he hasn’t lost yet, winning every bout.
That 7-0-0 record is on the line this weekend, but if he wants to replicate Tyson, he will need to stay unbeaten for a while longer yet.

However, Fury already has his eyes on his next fight and revealed to talkStommy fury recordPORT earlier this month; he still wants to face Paul, with the American looking for another clash.
He said: “In my eyes, that fight is always there.
“If he wants the big fights and the big numbers and the big pay-per-views, he knows where to come.”

Tommy Fury: What has been said?
Tommy’s father John Fury: “I’ve got high hopes of him winning the light-heavyweight championship of the world.
“This kid can go all the way. He’s sharp, he’s strong. I also see shades of Golovkin in him as a younger man. It’s all experience at this level. You will see a different Tommy this time. You watch.”
