Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy, set for professional boxing debut


The younger brother of former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will make his professional debut later this year after signing a promotional deal with Frank Warren.

Teenager Tommy Fury says he has had only a handful of amateur contests but is set for a transition to the paid ranks at light-heavyweight.

Fury, trained by former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton, will box on the undercard of Josh Warrington's IBF featherweight title defence against Carl Frampton on December 22 at the Manchester Arena.

The 19-year-old, whose unbeaten sibling fights Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title earlier in December, said: "It's big shoes to fill isn't it?

"I only had 12 amateur fights in the end. But amateur boxing and professional boxing are two different things. I know I am more suited to the pro game.

"I want to be world champion, I think if you're turning pro that has to be what you are aiming to achieve. I don't want to be fighting people I can easily knock over, I want to be progressed by stepping up in level every time I step into the ring."
