Boxing career[edit]
Fury made his professional debut against Jevgenijs Andrejevs (10–102–3) on 22 December 2018 at the Manchester Arena, Manchester, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory (40–36).[6] The fight was part of the undercard of the Josh Warrington vs. Carl Frampton featherweight world title fight.[7][8] In his second fight he recorded the first stoppage of his professional career, defeating Callum Ide (0–26–2) via first-round knockout (KO) on 23 March 2019.[9]
After stepping away from boxing for nine months to take part in a reality television programme, Fury returned to the ring on 21 December 2019, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Przemyslaw Binienda (2–26) at the Copper Box Arena in London.[10] The fight was televised live on BT Sport.[11]
