TOMMY FURY marks his return to the ring on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard with a pair of keen eyes set to watch from ringside.
Both Jake Paul and KSI will be in attendance in ringside to watch Fury fight 5-2 American Paul Bamba.
The 2019 Love Islander has been linked with both YouTubers-turned boxers for a future bout.
But it is ex-marine corps Bamba who Fury most focus on firstly as SunSport runs down the bout.
Fury is the more experienced of the two, with eight professional bouts to his name, compared to Bamba’s seven.
He also had 12 amateur bouts having started boxing at the age of 12 alongside his heavyweight champion brother Tyson, 33.

Whereas Bamba only began training at 26 as a way to make money after being left homeless.
He had just four amateur contests before turning pro in 2021, and now has five wins in seven fights.
Both Bamba and Fury have four knockouts meaning they carry power but are not necessarily known as punchers.
Interestingly, Bamba has gone the eight round distance once before while his more experienced opponent has only gone six.

It means the New Yorker could try and take the fight into the latter stages, where he may be more comfortable.
Bamba is also a southpaw, a style Fury has faced only once before in his 2018 debut against Jevgenijs Andrejevs.
He is also an inch taller than Fury, who is sure to have a longer reach at 80 inches.
Fury is by far the slicker and more well-versed boxer, meaning he will want to get in a rhythm early on.

He does posses a nice jab and quick hands, which help set up his favoured right hand shot.
Fury goes into the bout as a heavy favourite but Bamba has warned he is a dangerous outsider with nothing to lose.
