TYSON FURY has wished his younger brother Roman well ahead of his boxing debut tonight.
Following in his older brothers footsteps, the 25-year-old will be stepping into the ring as a professional for the first time.
He has no amateur fighting experience but Tyson believes that Roman may become a cruiserweight champion in the future.
The Gypsy King took to Instagram to support his sibling saying “massive congratulations and good luck” ahead of the bout.
Roman will not be fighting on a big stage despite his name, the event is held without the public at a VIP event in Doncaster.
He has reportedly ballooned up to 19 stone for the bout and has plenty of well respected people in his corner.

Roman previously had a scholarship to become a rugby league player but got into boxing after getting heavier.
He shifted six stone after starting training with Tyson and Tommy during lockdown and is now ready to go under the microscope by following the family tradition in the ring.
Jimmy Harrington is his trainer and manager as well his father John regularly by his side.
It is no surprise Roman has taken to boxing as he is the ninth Fury to compete – as have cousins Hughie and Andy Lee.
