Tommy may have first gained media attention on the ITV dating show – where he met fiance Molly-Mae Hague, 24 – but he has also made a name for himself in the sport which has seen stratospheric success for his older brother, Morecambe based champion boxer Tyson Fury, 35.

The 24-year-old dad of one, nicknamed TNT, has so far won nine out of his nine professional fights and for his next fight, he is set to go up against fellow British influencer KSI.

Four years! Back in 2019, KSI declined Tommy’s call for a bout after the Youtuber won his professional boxing debut against Logan Paul.

Tyson expressed interest again in February 2023 following his defeat of KSI's long time rival Youtuber Jake Paul, 26, (the brother of Luke).

The fight between Tommy and KSI was confirmed in July this year and a press conference was held the month later, with Tommy’s father John Fury infamously flipping tables into the crowd during a rant.

How have their latest fights gone?

KSI last fought businessman and professional boxer Joe Fournie in May and saw his knockout victory overturned, with the result changed to a 'no decision' following a post-fight review.
