      Who is Roman Fury?
      Roman Fury is 25 years old and boxes as a cruiserweight. He is the brother of Tyson and Tommy, and the son of John.
      He had previously had a scholarship to become a rugby league player but got into boxing after his weight ballooned up to 19 stone. 
      Roman shed 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.

      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.
      And Roman is brother to Tommy, 23Credit: PA
      What is is pro boxing record?
      Roman had his first pro boxing fight on October 8 in Doncaster.
      He beat Ryan Hibbert over four rounds on his debut to move to 1-0 in the pro ranks.
      He has no amateur experience and says that he has “only messed around on the pads” – but that is not stopping him from trying to add more championships to the family collection.

      Why are Tottenham and Brighton wearing black armbands during their game tonight?

      by

      TOTTENHAM host Brighton tonight in their Premier League clash.And both sets of players are set to wear black armbands in the game at Brighton.
      Tottenham are paying their respects to late fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone
      Why are Tottenham and Brighton wearing black armbands?
      The teams are wearing black armbands in tribute to Tottenham fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone.
      Ventrone passed away this week after a short battle with acute leukaemia.
      The popular Italian arrived at Spurs alongside Antonio Conte in November 2021 and was a trusted ally of the former Chelsea boss.
      Ventrone built a reputation of working players extremely hard, but still managed to build up an incredible rapport with them.
      In a tragic turn of events, Tottenham confirmed: “We are devastated to announce that fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone has passed away.
      “The 61-year-old joined the Club in November, 2021, as part of Antonio Conte’s backroom staff, having previously held roles at Juventus, Catania, JS Suning, GZ Evergrande and AC Ajaccio.
      “As loveable off the pitch as he was demanding on it, Gian Piero quickly became a hugely popular figure with players and staff.
      “He will be greatly missed by everyone at the Club and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this impossibly sad time.”

      Devastated striker Kane wrote on Instagram: “A truly remarkable man.
      “I’m devastated by the passing of our coach Gian Piero. My love and strength is with his family at this time.
      “His words and wisdom will live on with me for the rest of my life and I’m just grateful I had the opportunity to spend time with him. Rest in peace Prof.”

      Tottenham confirmed: “We are devastated to announce that fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone has passed away.
      “The 61-year-old joined the Club in November, 2021, as part of Antonio Conte’s backroom staff, having previously held roles at Juventus, Catania, JS Suning, GZ Evergrande and AC Ajaccio.
      “As loveable off the pitch as he was demanding on it, Gian Piero quickly became a hugely popular figure with players and staff. He will be greatly missed by everyone at the Club and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this impossibly sad time.”

      Who is he and how long was he at Spurs?
      Beginning his coaching career at Juventus, where he met Conte as a player, Ventrone held a role as an athletic coach from 1994 to 1999 before returning once again in 2001 until 2004 and was also part of the Italian national team staff to lift the World Cup in 2006.
      Nine years later, Ventrone joined French side AC Ajaccio as assistant manager to Christian Bracconi before staying in the role under Fabrizio Ravanelli before departing for Catania, returning to a familiar role as an athletic coach.

      After less than a year, Ventrone departed Catania and his next role came at JS Suning in 2017 before joining GZ Evergrande in 2019.
      Less than two months after leaving the Chinese club, Ventrone joined Conte at Spurs in November as he took over from Nuno Espirito Santo.

      After netting a hat-trick against Leicester City last month, Son Heung-min celebrated with Ventrone before discussing his relationship with the coach.
      “I have a really, really good relationship with Gian Piero,” Son revealed. “His English is not perfect, sometimes he is coming with his phone and translating into English from Italian. It means a lot. Not as football-wise, I think life-wise he gives me so much advice, which I am really grateful for.
      “He has been so helpful, giving me always a big hug in tough times and even great times he has always been next to me and every staff.” More
