Tommy is aspiring to become the next big name in British boxing and already making waves despite having no formal amateur background. Inspired by his brother Tyson Fury, Tommy has yet graced a few professional fights and already keeping an eye for big deals.

A Killer Body With Unreal Arm Reach

Now, why are we implying the term "unreal"?

The athlete has a body featuring a height of 6 feet and weighs about 176 lbs. While these stats were not just enough, Fury has a good punching range of about 80 inches (203 cms), and this very trait gives him an edge over anything else. Thanks to these arms, Tom has more than half of his victories by knockout!

To illustrate, his height and stature make it challenging for his adversaries to connect to his face, while he punches well successfully. Tom has demonstrated his ability to take advantage of his physical stat and successfully deflect shots from opponents.

A light heavyweight, Tommy Fury can continuously fire while disrupting his opponent's approach by keeping a space between each other. Just like his brother Tyson Fury, Tommy has been blessed with extraordinary genetic abilities, which he has plenty of years to take advantage of.

Tom Fury's Boxing History: The Escalating Run

Making his professional debut on December 22, 2018, at the Manchester Arena, Manchester, where he amassed a PTS win (victory based on points) against Jevgenijs Andrejevs, the Latvian pro boxer. Likewise, Fury's second fight was marked the first stoppage of his expert career as he defeated Callum lde via the first knockout round on March 23, 2019. The fight occurred at the Leicester Arena, after which Tommy declared himself a legitimate boxing prospect.

However, right after fighting Brit Callum Ide, Tom broke from the fighting ring and joined the cast of the British reality series Love Island. He appeared in the fifth season of the ITV2 dating show, where he was placed second in the series, along with his partner Molly Mae Hague.

After creating hype in the entertainment world for nine months, the boxer returned to the sphere of action in December 2019. He showed his true potential by gaining victory over Przemyslaw Binienda through a first-round technical knockout (TKO). While the magnificent fight occurred at the Copper Box Arena in London, it was live cast on BT Sport.

Coming to 2020, Tommy Fury landed the fourth straight win he made against another British player, Genadij Krajevskij. Even though they both were trading shots in the first round, Fury had the upper hand in the second round, finishing the fight in his favor with a big uppercut.

In 2021, the big guy drew the winning score of 6-0 with PTS he made against Jordan Grant. The same year was Fury's debut in the US boxing, where he entered on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley. The fight went on the floor on 29 August, and Fury defeated Anthony Taylor.

Now, as the recent razzmatazz of Tommy Fury is all about Fury scheduled to face Jake Paul, this exact match was already lined-up for 18th December 2021. Fury had to pull out of the bout due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib. Now that our mister long-arm is all healthy and healed, every boxing lover/drama-loving-people is eagerly waiting for this match to be rescheduled for August.

We'll get to that in a bit; now, let's talk about the fortune Fury has made with his success.

The Silver-Lining: Family and Net Worth 

Tommy Fury, also known as "TNT" inside the ring, belongs to the Fury family. Born in Manchester, he belongs to a mixed-ethnic family as his father is Irish and his mother is a Mauritian. But for most, he is famed for being a half-brother of Tyson Fury, the two-time heavyweight world champion.

The whole family is known for their sheer talent in boxing with a lengthy history. Tommy and Tyson's father, John "Gypsy," previously used to fight as an unlicensed, bare-knuckle boxer and later as a pro-boxer. Tyson's moniker "Gypsy King" is derived from his distant relatives who were known as "King of the Gypsies." Eventually, Tyson went with some other nicknames like "The Furious One" and "2 Fast" Fury, and the brothers are often regarded as "Gypsy brothers."

Born in 1999, the 23-year-old fighter has amassed a net worth of over £1, converted to 1.2 million USD. For a beginner and someone his age, we must say it is an impressive figure. Now, what about his love life? As you all might have already guessed, Fury is dating Molly-Mae Hague, the excellent partner he met on Love Island in 2019. The duo is currently living together in Cheshire, and last year, in an interview, Molly hinted at them getting married soon.

Paul Vs. Fury: The All-time Debate Coming To An End

As we already mentioned, the formerly adjourned match has been rearranged for 6th August, this year, the build-up for this match is already a pro-level. The game between Paul (5-0, 4KOs) and Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) takes place at Madison Square Garden on Saturday and will be shown live on Showtime PPV.

In the words of Fury, "The Paul brothers' boxing charade is about to come to an end once and for all." 

Tommy further added, "I am a boxer. My opponent plays boxing. Jake Paul has been dressed up as a boxer against other sports retirees. On August 6, I will show the world that he does not belong in the ring. Thank you to my promoter Frank Warren, Most Valuable Promotions, and Showtime for letting me permanently shut up Jake Paul.

I look forward to headlining Madison Square Garden and knocking out this clown."

Similarly, following the footsteps of his older brother Logan Paul, Jake Paul has challenged the "King of the Gypsies" Tyson to open a pocketbook if he believes Tommy will defeat him. Backing up his brother, Tyson Fury, the latest champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title, stated, "I wouldn't hesitate for a second to bet 100,000 pounds."

Since last year, people have begged Jake to fight a "real" boxer, which is how the whole bout began. Until now, he has battled a mix of YouTubers and a few former MMA fighters. Choosing Tommy is the biggest challenge to him in the ring to date, while on the other side, Fury has already pledged to defeat the youngest member of the Paul family, ending Jake Paul's current winning streak.

While half of the boxing fanatics are rooting for their favorite contenders, the other half is enjoying the buzz it creates. Despite the match happening over a month later, people are so excited that social media has become a gamble.
