Tommy Fury has shades of boxing legend Gennady Golovkin about him insists John Fury

John Fury sees similarities between his son Tommy Fury and boxing legend Gennady Golovkin.

The Love Island star took part in an open workout in London on Tuesday and took the opportunity to showcase the skills that he has learned from being in camp with his brother Tyson Fury.

“He don’t need boxing, this lad.

“He’s got other avenues to go down but he loves this job wholeheartedly.

Meanwhile, John also insists that Tommy’s close bond with his brother Tyson has helped him to become the fighter that he is today.

He added: “My sons
