Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RARE footage of Tyson Fury scoring a brutal knockout in the amateurs has re-emerged. Fury had a 31-4 in the unpaid rank but he turned professional in 2008 after being overlooked for the Olympics in favour of David Price. 6 Footage of Tyson Fury scoring a brutal knockout in the amateurs has re-emerged Credit: YouTube / Eamon Mcauley 6 Fury knocked out American Maurice Byarm Credit: YouTube / Eamon Mcauley But before doing so, the future two-time heavyweight world champion travelled to Philadelphia in 2007 for the Harrowgate Boxing Club. Fury competed for Belfast's Holy Family ABC and boxed in front of just a handful of spectators at the New Alhambra Sports and Entertainment Centre. Those in attendance would not have known they were watching a future star of the sport - but Fury's KO of Maurice Byarm might have been a hint. Fury - only 19 at the time -had the American hurt on the ropes with an uppercut and the follow up right hand ended the bout in the third and final round.

Byarm did return six years later in 2018 to beat Richard Carmack in his comeback fight but it marked his final fight.

But it paved the way for one of boxing's most remarkable comebacks as Fury returned in 2018 to challenge for the WBC title - controversially drawing to Deontay Wilder. Fury later beat Wilder twice to claim the belt but he eventually lost the gold and his unbeaten record in May to Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk, 38, also won the rematch in December and a month later Fury, 36, announced his retirement from boxing and has so far kept his word. 6 6 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – FEBRUARY 22: Tyson Fury knocks down Deontay Wilder in the fifth during their Heavyweight bout for Wilder's WBC and Fury's lineal heavyweight title on February 22, 2020 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Palace co-owner John Textor would sell shares for Europa League chance
The American, whose Eagle Football Group owns 43 per cent of Palace, has imperilled the club's chance of a first-ever European campaign owing to his involvement with Ligue 1 side Lyon, but is ready to offload his stake to his fellow co-owners in order to bring the saga to an end. UEFA does not allow clubs with the same ownership to compete in the same European competitions in a season. As well as his stake in Palace, the 59-year-old has a controlling stake in the French club, also via Eagle Football. However it is also reported that the European governing body does not consider Textor's influence at Selhurst Park to be decisive and is leaning towards allowing the club into the Europa League regardless. The PA news agency understands no formal decision is likely on Palace's fate until the end of June. Textor has previously spoken of his frustration at how little influence his stake entitles him to, over football matters. Victory for Oliver Glasner's side over Manchester City in last month's FA Cup final gave them their first major trophy and with it a first crack at Europe. However, Nottingham Forest have since written to UEFA to challenge Palace's Europa League spot and in the hope of taking their place. Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Greek side Olympiacos, placed his shares in the club in a blind trust before the governing body's March 1 deadline, anticipating Nuno Espirito Santo's side's European qualification. At present Forest, who finished seventh in last season's Premier League, are set to enter the Conference League but would take Palace's Europa League place, should they be deemed ineligible.
