Tommy Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, will be making his United States debut later this month.
On Monday, it was announced that Fury has been added to the undercard of this month’s Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley pay-per-view event at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday, August 29, according to a press release.
Tommy “TNT” Fury will be taking on Bellator MMA veteran Anthony Taylor, who happens to be a sparring partner of Jake Paul, at a 180-pound catchweight bout.
“American fans can, as always with me, expect a big dirty knockout,” Fury said. “That is what I say and that is what I try to bring. I want to put on a masterclass performance and show levels again and show how much I am improving. This is another step on my journey to world titles.”
The 23-year-old Fury is 6-0 in his professional boxing career with four knockouts.
Like Paul, Fury brings some crossover appeal after starring on the hit UK reality series Love Island where he finished as the season’s runner-up.
The five-fight Showtime PPV event will also feature WCO/WBO featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano vs. super bantamweight champion Yamileth Mercado of Mexico, former junior welterweight titleholder Ivan Barancyhk vs. Cleveland’s Montana Love, and WBA’s No. 1-ranked heavy-handed heavyweight Daniel “Dynamite” Dubois vs. Joe Cusmano.
