He has held multiple world titles, including the WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO, Ring magazine and lineal heavyweight titles.

He met his partner, Molly-Mae Hague, on the reality TV show and they have become a popular couple on social media and other platforms. Tommy has also pursued a professional boxing career, with a record of 8 wins and 0 losses from 8 fights, with 5 knockouts.

The Future of the Boxing Brothers
Tommy Fury and Tyson Fury are both looking forward to their next challenges in the ring. Tommy is confident that he can beat Jake Paul and prove himself as a serious boxer. He said: “This is my life. It’s all I have ever worked for. I trained as an amateur, running in the dark nights, in the cold mornings for stuff like this; media workouts, public workouts, big fights, big stages, and now it’s about to happen.”
Tyson Fury is also eyeing a historic fight against Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the other three major heavyweight titles. If Fury can defeat Usyk, he will become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and cement his legacy as one of the greatest boxers ever.
The two brothers have shown their support for each other on social media and in person. They are proud of their family name and their achievements in boxing. They are also aware of their differences and respect each other’s choices. As Tommy said: “Everyone who knows me will tell you I’m a quiet kid, keep myself to myself, go about my business, train hard and that’s it, nothing more to it.”
