ROMAN FURY continued the family trade with his second boxing win in front of I’m a Celeb hunk, Jake Paul conqueror and brother Tommy.
The 26-year-old sibling of WBC heavyweight king Tyson won his debut at Doncaster racecourse in October.
And he eased to 2-0 with another points triumph over Erik Nazaryan at York Hall arena on Friday night, with the referee calling the four rounder 40-36.
Nizaryan – a short, stocky, shaven-headed athlete – was compared to Stavros Flatley by unimpressed fight fans online ahead of the clash.
But the 38-year-old Belgian – now a veteran of 66 fights – was no push-over for the Salford southpaw and took him the distance.
The latest Fury off the boxing conveyor belt is making an impressively modest entrance onto the hurt business and is not milking his moniker for easy money.

Novice Fury showed off a range of shots, to head and body, and didn’t try to grab headlines with a wild knockout.
By round two Nazaryan was bleeding from his nose and bruised from stinging Fury lefts.
Before the third round started, front-row Tommy told the TV camera: “He always had it in him, it was just a case of getting in the gym and dedicated himself to it.
“He has done that now and he is doing fantastically”.

Nazaryan – a dead ringer for former Eastenders character Minty – was a typically tough journeyman the sport depends on, sucking up shots throughout the bout.
Before the fourth and final session started, Fury even told his trainer that his opponent was “tough”.
Fury towered over Nazaryan in clinches in the Bethnal Green ring, one late embrace looked like the Mitchell brothers reuniting in the middle of Albert Square.
Nazaryan’s blood was smeared all over Fury’s torso by the end of the learning fight but the pair ended on respectful terms.
