Roman Fury is a British professional boxer and the younger brother of Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion and one of the best fighters in the world. He made his pro debut in 2022 and has won all four of his fights so far, with one knockout.

He fights in the cruiserweight division and is managed and trained by Jimmy Harrington. Roman is also part of the famous Fury family, which has a long history of boxing and Irish Traveller heritage.

Siblings, Parents, Birthday, and Amateur Career

Roman Fury was born on 11 March 1996 (age: 27 years, as of 2023) in Manchester, England, to John and Amber Fury. He is the youngest of six siblings, including Tyson, Tommy, Shane, John Jr, and Hughie, all of whom are boxers or have been involved in the sport. His father, John, was also a professional boxer who fought in the 1980s and 1990s under the nickname “Gypsy John”.

Roman’s grandfather, Bobbie John, was a bare-knuckle fighter and his great-grandfather, Uriah Burton, was known as the “King of the Gypsies”.

Roman grew up in a caravan park in Salford, Lancashire, where he learned to box from his father and brothers. He never competed as an amateur, as he preferred to focus on his education and other interests. He attended St Ambrose College, a Catholic school in Altrincham, where he excelled in academics and sports. He also played rugby and football and was a fan of Manchester United. He said he was always interested in boxing, but he did not have the same passion or ambition as his brother Tyson, who turned pro at 20 and became a world champion at 27.

Professional Career

Roman Fury decided to follow his brother’s footsteps and pursue a career in boxing in 2022, when he was 26 years old. He said he was inspired by Tyson’s comeback from depression, drug abuse, and obesity, and wanted to challenge himself and make his family proud. He signed with VIP Promotions and began training with Jimmy Harrington, who was recommended by Tyson and John.

Roman said he chose the cruiserweight division because he felt more comfortable and natural at that weight, and he did not want to compete with his brother or cousins in the heavyweight division.

He made his pro debut on 8 October 2022, at Doncaster Racecourse, against Ryan Hibbert, a journeyman with a record of 2-24. He won the four-round bout by unanimous decision, showing good skills and composure. He was supported by Tyson and Tommy, who accompanied him to the ring. He said he was nervous before the fight, but he enjoyed the experience and felt confident in his abilities.

He had his second fight on 16 June 2023, at York Hall, Bethnal Green, against Erik Nazaryan, a veteran from Armenia with a record of 29-32-4. Roman won the fight by unanimous decision, dominating all four rounds with his speed, power, and movement. He said he felt more relaxed and comfortable in his second fight, and he was happy with his performance.

Roman Fury impresses with bloody win over Svarc on Joshua-Ngannou undercard

Roman Fury, the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, scored a convincing win over Martin Svarc on Friday night in Saudi Arabia. The cruiserweight prospect bloodied Svarc’s nose in the fourth and final round, sealing a unanimous decision victory. He improved his record to 4-0, with one knockout, and showed his skills and toughness in front of his brother and father, who accompanied him to the ring.

The fight was part of the undercard for the highly anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou, a former UFC champion who nearly upset Tyson Fury in his boxing debut. Fury said he was honored to be part of such a big event, and he thanked his brother for giving him the opportunity and the inspiration.

“I’m very happy with the win. He was a tough opponent, he came to fight, but I showed him what I’m made of. I’m learning every day, and I’m grateful for the support of my family and my team. Tyson is my role model, he’s the best in the world, and I want to follow his footsteps. He’s the reason why I’m here, and I hope I made him proud,” Fury said after the fight.

Tyson Fury, who is preparing for his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder in June, praised his brother for his performance and his progress. He said he was impressed by Roman’s composure and power, and he predicted a bright future for him.

“Roman did a great job. He was calm, he was sharp, he was strong. He landed some good shots, especially that left hook that busted his nose. He showed he can handle the pressure and the stage. He’s only had four fights, but he’s improving every time. He’s got the talent, he’s got the heart, he’s got the Fury name. He’s going to be a champion one day, mark my words,” Tyson Fury said.
