Tommy Fury’s Comeback Opponent Revealed And Fans Make Their Feelings Clear On The Fight

Tommy Fury will return to the ring following hand surgery on May 3 in Budpaest, Hungary.

The half-brother of two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson started off his campaign in the pro ranks as standard, building up a record in fights he was put in to win. Just two fights in, however, he took a break to film UK reality show Love Island, finding fame.

Though he returned to traditional boxing, Fury was soon lured in to the crossover scene by a big money against YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul. The Brit became the first man to defeat Paul, who has since boxed 58-year-old Mike Tyson.

Fury doubled down on his chosen path when he faced UK star KSI in a Misfits promoted bout, again winning on points. Rematches against both big names were on the table, however Fury took an extended time out to recover from surgery on a longterm hand injury.

His comeback was set to be against former UFC star Darren Till, however ‘TNT’ pulled out due to threats of violence outside of the rules of the sport.

He will not return to the ring in Budapest against little known Kenan Hanjalic. The Bosnian has had just five contests since his debut in 2019, losing one, winning four and scoring three knockouts. He is 27-years-old and fights at heavyweight, though this bout is reported at cruiserweight over six rounds.

Whilst Fury is coming off a long lay-off, response to the bout on social media was largely negative, with one fan branding it ‘pathetic’ and another ’embarrassing,’ and there was reminders that Paul had offered mega money for a rematch which have seemingly been turned down. Fury’s brother, Roman, also competes on the card.

Who is his doctor?

It's getting ridiculous. Perhaps it's time to just say f*ck it and stop testing full stop?

Obviously there is a "family" history - but in saying that - that pic is ridiculously well lit, he's just worked out by the water on him and he has always trained more for the Ibiza body than for boxing and he has had a shit load of time to tone up even more.

Obviously not heard of his opponent, but at least he has a boxing record!

It's at The MTK Arena. Seriously.

lmao he looks hilarious in that photo

Tommy's the type of tit to juice just to look good rather than gain a physical advantage

10 fights in and still fighting schmuks. Is this showing how limited Fury is?

No. It's showing he's not a serious boxer.

I'll watch Fumbles but that's about it, I usually only watch the main events on the obscure DAZN shows

Tommy was on breakfast TV this morning bigging up his opponent, saying he had over 100 amateur fights, although I can't see anything on here.

They definitely don't have phones.

Roman Fury on the card as well

Tommy fury has the weirdest build, almost like he was badly drawn as the perfect boxer… 6 foot tall with a 900 meter wingspan.

Little pin head too, looks like he should be reallly skinny, like 154er skinny. Instead he has “eaten” and “lifted” his way to 200 lbs…

Is this opponent even gunna make cruiserweight? Been well over that in the past.
