Tommy Fury reveals the joys of influencer boxing
Tommy Fury plans to continue his influencer combat events instead of staying in professional boxing like his brother Tyson Fury.
The influencer said to MMA Junkie, ‘I’m definitely in for the crossover fights. I want to be a part of that. I want to keep doing massive events because financially, it’s great, and it’s great to be part of these massive events. But you know what? After it’s all said and done, I will return back to proper boxing and I’ll test myself against the best.’
A crossover fight refers to a match or bout between athletes from different combat sports disciplines or backgrounds. It typically involves fighters from boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), kickboxing, or other combat sports facing off against eacjh other.
Crossover fights are often highly anticipated and generate a lot of excitement because they bring together athletes with different skill sets, techniques, and strategies. These matchups can be seen as a clash between two fighting styles and can create unique challenges and opportunities for the competitors involved.
One of the most famous crossover fights in recent history was the boxing match between Floyd Maywether Jr., one of the greatest boxers of all time, and Conor McGregor, a popular MMA fighter.
Tommy Fury’s fans are excited to see him in the ring, but he sensed they might be unhappy about his performance the last time.
‘It is what it is: One guy was there to fight and one guy was there to do star jumps and run around,’ he said, recalling his last bout. ‘At the end of the day, it was what it was.
‘It wasn’t much of a fight, which I was upset about because I wanted to put on a great show for the fans and all the other guy wanted to do is run around all night.
‘I’ll give the fans a good show next time, don’t you worry about that. But we got the win (against KSI), and on to the next.’
One other reason people will like to watch the social media man is because his elder brother is a world heavyweight boxing champion.
