It should also be noted if not apparent, Tommy Fury is the younger brother of Lineal world heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.

Fury, making his debut after only 12 amateur fights, set the tone of the action as he got in a few good rights from the outside to include a solid right uppercut that snapped the head of Andrejevs. There were similarities from a style perspective between him and his older brother Tyson, as expected. With about a minute remaining, Fury was able to get in a few consecutive right hooks to the body of Andrejevs. Fury again got off a right to the head that sent a to the ropes prior to the end of the round.

Fury got off a combination of shots to the body and head that again sent Andrejevs to the ropes before the referee broke the action. Even with Andrejevs’ constant gamesmanship, Fury continued to press forward looking to land his right.

Fury again cornered him against the ropes and was able to get off the right to the body before the round came to a close.

Officially, the fight went down as a unanimous decision victory for Tommy Fury. A promising start in an expected victory. There is still much to work on as he was heavily reliant on the right hand and didn’t use his jab much, but with the likes of former world champion Ricky Hatton training him, he should continue to polish things moving forward. Stay locked into RSR as we witness the progression together.
