Tommy Fury has been vocal about his desire to face UFC sensation Conor McGregor in his next fight, following his victory over YouTuber KSI.
Fury, who is the half-brother of boxing legend Tyson Fury, defeated KSI in October of last year and had previously triumphed over Jake Paul in February 2023.
Who is Tommy Fury Scheduled to Fight Next?
Despite not yet having an official opponent, Fury has publicly expressed his desire to fight Conor McGregor in his next match.
“In preparation for Anthony Joshua’s fight with Francis Ngannou, Fury told DAZN Boxing that he is focused on fully recovering from his hand injury and getting it out of the way.”
“With news of Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against Mike Tyson, I can’t help but think about who I could face next. As I prepare for my comeback fight, I have my sights set on Conor McGregor. I hope to have him as my opponent for my return, so McGregor, please reach out to me.”
McGregor has previously traded the Octagon for the boxing ring, having faced and been defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2017.
At the same time, Jai Opetaia, who holds the IBF cruiserweight title, has expressed his interest in facing Fury, offering a potential opportunity for the 24-year-old to make his return to the ring.
“Opetaia issued a challenge to Fury, saying that if he wants to compete for a world title, he can face him. He confidently stated that he would defeat Fury and quickly resume his pursuit for championship belts.”
“Although the man has a strong boxing background and experience, there are different tiers in this sport. I am currently competing at the world champion level and contending for world titles, while he still has a long journey ahead to reach that level.”
When will Tommy Fury fight next?
Fury’s most recent fight took place in October 2023 in Manchester, England, where he defeated KSI. After securing a unanimous decision victory, Tommy has not competed in any matches due to a hand injury sustained during the bout.
The match between KSI and Fury ended in a decision, with Fury winning on points. Initially, the outcome was declared a split-decision win, but it was later corrected to a unanimous victory after one of the judge’s scorecards was found to have an error in its calculation.
Despite his shock at the result, KSI’s efforts to have the decision overturned were ultimately unsuccessful.
