Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
He's done a lot of weight training in the past
He wants to walk his own path away from tysons shadow

Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
He was previously looking to go into pro wrestling and the bodybuilding was toward that goal. However since he's decided to go pro in boxing he's cut a lot of muscle. Should be interesting to see how he progresses. Now is a good time to debut if your surname is Fury.
Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
I know he's a light heavy...some vids on youtube but only training. I had posted one in another thread on him.

He tagged along with Tyson/Peter etc for a good while. Must have only been 14-15 at the time but was fornicating huge.

He looks like he's been eating wild boar sandwiches

Or just box under his own name.... instead of changing your name round like a lemonleejonesjnr wrote: ↑22 Dec 2018, 03:55Rubbish, it’s a smash and grab.
If he wanted to be his own man he would have chosen a different ring name when he applied for his license.
Just cos you share a name with someone doesn't mean you need to use them to benefit you, can't help who his brother is can he

I don’t think exploiting the opportunity is wrong, but the idea that he is doing anything else is foolish.

He's tysins brother and that obviously going to get him recognised but he so far hasn't gone out of his way to bring it up and he won't
Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
Doesn't even cook the boar! Eats it raw
Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
I’m sure it was him I seen box on on an amateur dinner show in Manchester Dec 14,Hughie was there supporting,it was definitely a Fury
Can’t remember much about his ability but stopped his opponent early doors

Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
As I understand it, he's Tyson's half brother. His genetic make-up is obviously going to be significantly different.

Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
Looks quite slow to me, bulk may be weighing him down.
His opponent tonight looks dire.
I don't expect his career to be particularly exciting under the stewardship of FW. He's going to be undercard filler for a long time.

Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
Ah I didn’t realise - there is still no way that you could convince me that a 19 year old had a physique like that (like he did 6 months ago) because of good genes.
Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
Boxing well so far tonight in all fairness.
Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
Genetically, on average half-siblings are 1/8 related to each other (compared with 1/2 for a full sibling / parent / child) - i.e. the same as a first cousin. So it's quite possible Tommy Fury has a whole different set of genes for his physical makeup to Tyson. He still looks a little suspect for his age, though the bodybuilding background may explain that.bripez wrote: ↑22 Dec 2018, 14:10Ah I didn’t realise - there is still no way that you could convince me that a 19 year old had a physique like that (like he did 6 months ago) because of good genes.

Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
I don’t have any problem with him exploiting the situation he is in but stating that he wants to ‘walk his own path’ implies that he is determined to build a career based on merit.Oiky wrote: ↑22 Dec 2018, 08:20If it helps him good luck to himleejonesjnr wrote: ↑22 Dec 2018, 08:12Doesn’t mean he NEEDS to, no, but he has and is well aware of that.

Already that isn’t the case.
It’s sort of strange that being related to a boxer who the general public won’t pay to see makes any inroads with a promoter anyway isn’t it.

Re: Anyone know about Tommy Fury?
Tyson’s last three fights have been 15,000 and two 20,000? The last an event shown worldwide. And his popularity has risen x10 since then.leejonesjnr wrote: ↑23 Dec 2018, 14:53I don’t have any problem with him exploiting the situation he is in but stating that he wants to ‘walk his own path’ implies that he is determined to build a career based on merit.Oiky wrote: ↑22 Dec 2018, 08:20If it helps him good luck to himleejonesjnr wrote: ↑22 Dec 2018, 08:12
