TYSON FURY watched the newest member of his boxing family score his fourth win on Friday night in Riyadh.
The 35-year-old WBC Gypsy King had to return to the same Kingdom Arena he was floored by boxing debutant Francis Ngannou in October and had to nick a split decision win.
But he had a more relaxed visit this time, watching his 27-year-old sibling Roman coast past Martin Svarc on points, leaving him with a smear of blood across his nose that matched his bright red shorts.
Celebrity YouTube boxer Tommy, 23, was also at ringside, returning to the same Saudi Arabia desert he bea-tboxing prankster Jake Paul in last year, making it a perfect family holiday.
Roman said: “I feel the pressure but I am enjoying life.
“I keep thinking I might wake up soon because all of this just feels like a dream.

Fury tried to whip a long right hook to Svarc’s toned torso but the underdog was quick enough to dodge it.
Svarc kept hurling right hands in the second and Fury knew better than to get careless.
Dad John jumped in the ring for the second break and showed his boy how to throw an uppercut and lead hook.
In the third, there was a wild exchange, short on technique but plenty of bravery, as they traded power punches.
Team Svarc cheered while worried John barked “hands up” to his shaven-headed lad.
Tyson – wearing nothing under his red velvet waistcoat but a 70’s style chest rug – clapped the action.
By the fourth and final round, Svarc was bleeding heavily from his nose and looking more tired.
Fury landed one more crisp left hand before the bell ended the latest learning fight for the Englishman and referee Kieran McCann called it 39-37.
