Tommy Fury looked anything but happy as he waited for Tyson’s reunion with Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
The 25-year-old boxer turned reality star turned boxer was ringside in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for his brothers revenge mission against heavyweight champion Usyk following Tyson’s only professional defeat back in May. But whether it was worry for what might await his big bro later on, Tommy looked little more than miserable as he sat to watch the undercard at the Kingdom Arena.
It comes as Tommy scrambles to find his next opponent, having seen his Misfits Boxing clash with former UFC star Darren Till on January 15 in Manchester fall through.
Fury decided to cancel the fight after a fiery press conference saw Till threaten to kick and take down the Briton in the boxing ring. Till insisted he wasn’t being serious and was merely promoting the fight.
Tommy has now claimed he was advised by his manager to pull the plug. During an interview with The Stomping Ground: "The way he was going about it was so stupid. I was going to let it go at the press conference. I wasn't really interested
"But then my manager rang me a few days afterwards and he's like, 'This fella's talking to betting companies about if he's losing the fight he's gonna do this, and if he's losing the fight he's gonna do that.'
"I then saw his first fight, I hadn't watched it at the time, and that ended in some big brawl and I thought to myself, 'What am I doing?' At the end of the day, Darren Till is a man with no brain cells. He was going to get the highest payday of his career. But that's now dead in the water, I'm at a stage in my career now where I don't need to be rolling around the floor with Darren Till.”
Tommy’s trip to Saudi also comes a week after reuniting with former fiancé Molly-Mae Hague last weekend when the pair took daughter Bambi to soft-play last weekend.
It was the first time the pair had been back in each other’s company since their break up earlier this year, reuniting for a day out in Cheshire with their 23 month-old daughter.
Speaking about the reunion in a new vlog on her YouTube channel the next day, Molly-Mae said: ”Tommy and I took Bambi to a soft play yesterday together, which was actually a really lovely thing to do and was really enjoyable to do that together.”
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to lock horns again on December 21 with the Brit attempting to avenge his defeat by the Ukrainian in May. Victory for Fury could also set up a huge domestic showdown with bitter rival Anthony Joshua next year
