- Tommy Fury beat former World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall by majority decision in a six-round exhibition on a Misfits Boxing card at the AO Arena in Manchester, with judges scoring the fight 59-56, 58-56, and 57-57.
- A 49kg weight difference separated the fighters at Friday's weigh-in, yet Fury praised Hall afterward: 'this guy can fight. He's not slow, he's fit.'
- Tommy Fury dedicated the win to his newborn son, revealing the baby's name is Midas — his second child with partner Molly-Mae Hague — and called it 'another Fury, it's another boy.'
- Tyson Fury, Tommy's half-brother and heavyweight star, was ringside alongside Manchester City forward Phil Foden; Tyson is set to face Anthony Joshua later this year, with Fury announcing an August 1 warm-up fight in Dublin.
- Jade Jones, the two-time Olympic taekwondo gold medalist (London 2012, Rio 2016), scored a second-round stoppage of Argentina's FederiKita in only her second professional boxing bout on the same card.
- Eddie Hall transitioned into MMA last year but was outboxed by the more experienced Fury, who was returning to the ring for the first time in over a year.
Why it matters: Tommy Fury's first fight in over a year keeps him active ahead of his announced August 1 Dublin warm-up bout, building toward the larger Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua showdown later this year. A 49kg weight gap didn't prevent Hall, a strongman turned MMA fighter, from earning genuine respect — 'not slow, he's fit' — from a far more experienced boxer.
