John Fury's five-word response to son Tommy Fury's low blow during comeback victory over Kenan Hanjalic
Tommy Fury marked his return to the ring with a points victory in Budapest on Friday night, but not without a touch of controversy that left father John Fury unimpressed. Fighting for the first time in 18 months, the former Love Island star earned a unanimous decision over Bosnia's Kenan Hanjalic to extend his unbeaten record to 11-0. It was far from a vintage display, with ring rust evident and the bout often scrappy as Fury laboured through six rounds that included more clinching than clean punching. The major talking point came midway through the contest, when Fury landed a shot that sent Hanjalic to the canvas. Replays suggested the punch had strayed low. The referee allowed time for Hanjalic to recover before the bout resumed, but the damage had seemingly been done. At ringside, John Fury could not hide his frustration and appeared to accuse Hanjalic of using the alleged low blow to his advantage by lapping up the recovery time on offer. He later offered a typically blunt assessment of the incident using just five words: 'He's doing an Oleksandr Usyk.' He beat Kenan Hanjalic by unanimous decision after catching him with a third-round low blow The remark referred to a controversial moment in Oleksandr Usyk's first fight against Daniel Dubois in August 2023, when the Ukrainian was dropped by a shot that Dubois and his team insist was legal. The referee disagreed, ruling it a low blow and giving Usyk nearly four minutes to recover before he went on to win the fight. It remains a major talking point as Usyk prepares to face Dubois again this summer in a rematch for the undisputed heavyweight championship at Wembley Stadium. John Fury's comment carried extra weight given his family's own bruising history with Usyk. The Ukrainian southpaw beat Tyson Fury twice in 2024. First by split decision in May to claim the WBC belt and become undisputed heavyweight champion. Then again in December by unanimous decision in a rematch. Those two defeats are rare blemishes on Tyson Fury's professional record, which stands at 34 wins, two losses and one draw. Meanwhile, Tommy Fury remains unbeaten in the ring. However, he openly admitted after Friday's fight that he had been battling some serious personal issues outside of the ring. After dedicating the win to long-term partner Molly-Mae Hague and their daughter Bambi, he said: 'I've been through things that tear men down. 'Drunk, an alcoholic, I lost my family for a little bit. But I've turned things around. I've gone from being low to being on top of the world again.' He also reignited his feud with Jake Paul. 'Jake Paul's a b***h and he's running scared,' he said. 'Jake, the hand's fixed now, baby. Next time I'll knock you spark out.'

Fury secures scrappy win on return to ring
Tommy Fury made a successful if scrappy return to the ring with a points win over Kenan Hanjalic in Fury spent 18 months on the sidelines after his victory over YouTuber turned boxer KSI in 26, seemed to be suffering from ring rust, producing an all-together uneven performance and struggling to impose himself over the six rounds of the cruiserweight the unanimous scorecards ensured Fury stayed undefeated as he improved his record to thanked his family after the fight, in particular his young daughter Bambi and his partner Molly-Mae Hague, who he split from last August before reconciling."I've been through a hell of a lot these last two years. I've been through things that tear men down - drunk, alcoholic," Fury said."I lost my family for a little bit. But I've turned things around, I've gone from being low to being on top of the world again."Fury has made a lucrative career of beating influencers, but took on the unknown Hanjalic in a low key event at the MTK venue held a few hundred people - compared to the 20,000 fans who attended Fury's points win over KSI at the Manchester Hanjalic came into the fight with five wins and one loss on his record and had fought mostly in small-hall events in 27, had a point deducted in the fourth round and was twice on the canvas over the six rounds, but both were ruled a had hand surgery last year and called out his former opponent Jake Paul, who he beat on points in 2023."Jake Paul's running scared, Hey, Jake, the hand is fixed now," he said. "If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I will knock him spark out. "I've had two years out of the ring, this is me after two years. I will knock that bum out wherever he wants it." KSI or Jake Paul - who will Fury fight next? Fury has plenty of options for his next half-brother of retired heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, Tommy has carved out his own stardom by felling is unlikely he will stray too far away from that path but he was scheduled to fight former UFC fighter Darren Till earlier this pulled out of that contest because of threats of "stupid MMA tactics" but the bout could still be rearranged if there is an appetite for likely options are perhaps rematches. With wins over KSI and Paul, Fury could demand big money to fight either is one of the most active and high-profile boxers at the moment and has a bout scheduled with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on 28 however, has not fought since the loss to Fury, has seen more than one comeback delayed and could well have cooled his interest in boxing for now.
