A routine victory for one of the Furys ended in a stoppage that didn’t go down well with the fans in attendance.
Tyson Fury has admitted that he could pay the costs of making a return to the ring at 37 years old after announcing his retirement last year.
The former heavyweight champion is certainly not the only member of his family who believes that boxing is a part of his DNA.
Fury’s recent preparations for another comeback isn’t the only goal that his close-knit unit have been working towards in recent weeks.
What was a successful night for his brother ended up being overshadowed due to the way that his bout on Saturday night ended.

Fans boo after referee steps in early during Roman Fury’s sixth pro fight
On Saturday night in Germany, Roman Fury stepped in the ring for the sixth professional fight of his career.
Standing across the ring from the British heavyweight on January 10 was 42-year-old Kevin Greenwood, who had lost seven consecutive bouts heading into this weekend.
The fight was playing out exactly as many expected it to, with Fury in complete control and his opponent struggling to find a way to change this narrative.
Tyson Fury’s younger brother put a combination together towards the end of the fourth round that led to the referee stepping in to wave the bout off.
While the fight was one-way traffic, it didn’t look like any of the shots were significant enough to warrant a stoppage, leading to boos from the fans in attendance.
The ending certainly didn’t bother John or Tommy Fury, who celebrated the victory from ringside as the crowd voiced their grievances.

Roman Fury did appear to win some fans back on his side in his post-fight interview
It was acknowledged during Roman Fury’s post-fight interview inside the ring that the fans weren’t happy with the way that the fight ended.
His response focused on the context of this bout, with this being his first outing since a TKO win in May of last year.
Expressing gratitude toward the people who spent money to be in the building on Saturday night appeared to help Fury win some fans back over.
“People are forgetting about me, I’ve not fought in eight months,” Fury stated. “I’ve had no amateur experience and this for me is one hell of a night. So, I want to thank all the German crowd if they like me or not. Thanks for coming and I’ll see you soon, thank you.”
