Roman, who lives in Morecambe and trains alongside WBC heavyweight champ Tyson and fellow brother Tommy, told VIP Boxing: “I don’t want to rush things. I don’t want to box on big bills just because I carry the ‘Fury’ name.
“You can’t run before you can walk and the VIP Boxing shows are ideal for me to learn my ringcraft and build.
“I could have had amateur fights, but I am around professional boxers and learning that side of things.
What is is pro boxing record?
Roman had his first pro boxing fight on October 8 in Doncaster.
