Tommy Fury's Triumphant Return: A Scrappy Victory in Budapest

Tommy Fury makes a gritty comeback in the ring, defeating Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest and keeping his undefeated record intact.

Tommy Fury marked his return to the boxing ring with a points victory over Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest, maintaining his unbeaten streak. Despite an 18-month hiatus since his last fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI, Fury managed to secure a win, albeit with a performance that showed signs of ring rust.

The Fight Breakdown

Fury, 26, faced Kenan Hanjalic in a cruiserweight bout that lasted six rounds. Although Fury struggled to dominate, the unanimous decision from the judges ensured his record improved to 11-0. Hanjalic, with a record of five wins and one loss, put up a resilient fight but had a point deducted in the fourth round and was twice on the canvas, though both instances were ruled as slips.

Post-Fight Reflections

After the fight, Fury expressed gratitude towards his family, particularly his daughter Bambi and partner Molly-Mae Hague, with whom he recently reconciled after a split. He also reflected on his personal struggles, stating, "I've been through a hell of a lot these last two years. I've been through things that tear men down - drunk, 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."

Future Opponents

Fury has built a lucrative career by defeating influencers like KSI and Jake Paul. Post-fight, he called out Jake Paul, challenging him to a rematch, "Jake Paul's running scared, Hey, Jake, the hand is fixed now. If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I will knock him spark out."

What’s Next for Fury?

With victories over KSI and Paul, Fury has several options for his next fight. Potential rematches with either could be lucrative, especially given Paul's current high-profile status in boxing. Another possibility is a rescheduled fight with former UFC fighter Darren Till, which was previously canceled due to concerns over "stupid MMA tactics."

Conclusion

Tommy Fury's return to the ring may not have been his most polished performance, but it was enough to keep his undefeated record alive. As he continues to navigate his career, the boxing world eagerly anticipates his next move.
