Tommy Fury wins on boxing comeback and calls out Jake Paul

Tommy Fury wins on boxing comeback and calls out Jake Paul

Tommy Fury was victorious in his first fight in more than 18 months as he defeated Bosnia’s Kenan Hanjalic via unanimous decision in Budapest.

The 26-year-old British cruiserweight, half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, had last been in the ring when he beat KSI in Manchester in October 2023.

Prior to that Fury, who is now 11 fights unbeaten as a professional, won via split decision against KSI’s fellow YouTuber Jake Paul.

And when asked after beating Hanjalic about a rematch with Paul, he said: “Jake Paul’s running scared. Hey, Jake, the hand is fixed now. If he wants to step inside the ring, I guarantee you, next time I will knock him spark out.”

Fury had been set to make a comeback by facing former UFC fighter Darren Till in January but the fight did not materialise, with the former claiming in December that the latter did “not want to abide by professional boxing rules”.
