Hoping to follow in his familial footsteps, Tommy Fury has no qualms about laying out his intentions to win a world championship inside the ring.
Snapping a two-year stay away from the ring earlier this year, former Love Island star Tommy Fury turned in career win number eleven, retaining his unbeaten record, to boot.
And landing a decision win over Hungarian opponent Kenan Hanjalic, Fury improved to 11-0 as recently as May of this year, adding to some notable victories recently.

Landing eye-catching wins over social media stars KSI, as well as Jake Paul — who is gearing up for a fight with Anthony Joshua — Fury certainly isn’t focused on too many gimmick fights later on in his career.

A natural cruiserweight and light heavyweight boxer, Fury, of course, the half-brother of former undisputed WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is still relatively early in his professional career.
But before too long, the 26-year-old has outlined his plans to win a world championship in the squared circle — without rushing into the fold in either division.
“Listen, I’m a realistic man, you can’t just click your fingers and be a world champion,” Fury told SportBible. “I’m expecting to have 25 plus fights before I fight for a world title.
“I don’t just want to fight for a world title; I want to fight for one and win it,” Fury continued. “And that’s definitely something I believe I can do because I know what I can do in the gym, and I know the people that I have sparred and mixed with.”

And in the two years since, speculation has been rife regarding a potential re-run between the duo.
As far as Fury is concerned, if Paul ever wants the chance to attempt to avenge that defeat, he knows where to find him.
“I’m here, I’m ready, but I’m not begging for a fight. I’ve done my job, I’ve beaten him. I’ve got the win, he’s got the loss.
“Any day he wants to rectify that, he knows where I am,” Fury told the BBC.
