Fury, the half-brother of two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, started his pro career with standard build-up fights. He got famous through the UK reality show Love Island. His recent fights have been against big names from outside traditional boxing circles.
He beat Jake Paul, becoming the first to defeat the YouTuber-turned-fighter. Fury also won on points against KSI in a Misfits promoted bout. After these high-profile matches, Fury had to take time off for hand surgery. A planned comeback against Darren Till didn't happen because of safety worries.
Now, Fury will face Kenan Hanjalic, a 27-year-old Bosnian fighter. Hanjalic has fought five times, winning four and losing one. He's knocked out three opponents. While he usually fights as a heavyweight, this bout is set for cruiserweight. The fight will last six rounds.
Fans aren't happy about Fury's choice of opponent. On social media, people called the match-up "pathetic" and "embarrassing". Many pointed out that Jake Paul had offered a lot of money for a rematch, which Fury seems to have turned down.
Tommy's brother, Roman Fury, will also fight on the same card in Budapest.
