Tommy Fury agrees next fight and says 'it would be an honour' to clash with opponent

Tommy Fury has said it would be an “honour” to fight former four-weight world champion Roy Jones Jr.

Fury has just come off the back of a victory over YouTube star KSI. Much like half-brother Tyson Fury’s fight against Francis Ngannou at the weekend, many punters thought there was very little to separate the two fighters but Tommy still came out on top on the scorecards.

Jones Jr is coming off a defeat to UFC fighter Anthony Pettis, his first fight in five years. But he would still be expected to give Fury a tough time because of his knowhow in
