TOMMY FURY insists he will feel no pressure leaping back into the ring to fight for the family name.
Tyson Fury’s 21-year-old brother and Love Island heartthrob has not boxed since a 60-second KO triumph last December and is hoping to get another winter win lined up soon.

Big Bro and WBC king Tyson is planning a December 5 homecoming UK bout to prepare for a 2021 undisputed decider with Anthony Joshua.

Tyson, 32, regularly trains with his huge family – including fellow brother Roman who has just started in the fight game – and has tipped Tommy to succeed.

“He’s dedicated, he wants it, he trains hard, he eats well – and he’s my brother, he has to.”
