Tony Bellew Claims Tommy Fury Wouldn’t Win An English Title And Urges To Stay Away From Professional Boxing
Tony Bellew has delivered a brutal verdict on Tommy Fury’s boxing career, suggesting the younger brother of Tyson Fury should stay away from professional boxing altogether.
The former cruiserweight world champion did not hold back when assessing Fury’s ability, questioning whether the 26-year-old could even win an English title during his professional career.
“Stay away from Professional boxing. Why would he ever want to do it, I don’t think he can even win an English title,” Bellew said.
Fury has enjoyed considerable attention since making his professional debut, particularly following his victories over social media personalities Jake Paul and KSI. However, Bellew clearly believes that his achievements so far do not demonstrate the ability required to compete against established professional boxers.
Tommy Fury’s Undefeated Boxing Record
Despite Bellew’s criticism, Fury has maintained an unbeaten professional record since making his debut against Jevgenijs Andrejevs in December 2018.
Fury currently holds an 11-0 professional record, with four victories coming by knockout. His biggest career victory came against Jake Paul in February 2023, when he handed the American his first professional boxing defeat through a split decision victory in Saudi Arabia.

He subsequently faced KSI in October 2023, winning by unanimous decision after an initially announced majority decision was overturned following a scoring correction.
Fury has also picked up victories against opponents including Daniel Bocianski, Anthony Taylor and Kenan Hanjalic.
However, despite remaining undefeated, Fury has yet to win a recognised professional boxing title. His victory over Paul earned him the WBC Diriyah Champion belt, but it was not an official world championship.
Bellew’s comments highlight the difference between maintaining an unbeaten record and proving yourself against established professional competition.
While Fury has successfully built a profile outside traditional boxing, the question remains whether he can eventually compete for recognised domestic and international titles.
