Tommy Fury is a British reality-TV-turned-boxer with a small, unbeaten record built mostly against limited or crossover opposition.
Thomas Michael John Fury was born on 7 May 1999 in Manchester, England, to John Fury, of Irish Traveller descent, and Chantal Fury, who is of Mauritian descent. He is the younger half-brother of two-time heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, and his father serves as his head boxing trainer. Fury made his professional boxing debut in December 2018, but paused his career the following year to appear on the fifth series of the ITV2 reality show Love Island, finishing as runner-up alongside partner Molly-Mae Hague, with whom he later had two children. The move brought him significant mainstream fame beyond the sport, along with modelling and clothing deals. Fury returned to boxing and remained undefeated, engaging in a long-running rivalry with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul that was repeatedly postponed before finally taking place in Saudi Arabia in February 2023, which Fury won by split decision. He also defeated fellow social media personality KSI by unanimous decision in October 2023. Fury has continued to build his professional boxing record while remaining one of the most prominent crossover figures in the sport, balancing his career between traditional professional boxing and high-profile influencer fights that have made him one of the most financially successful young boxers of his generation outside the traditional world title picture.
