TOMMY FURY denied that he was a 'YouTube fighter' and instead described himself as a 'full-fledged fighter'.
Fury is the brother of Tyson, the legendary British heavyweight boxer. However, he rose to fame after his appearance on Love Island in 2019.
Tommy Fury denied that he was a YouTube boxer
When he signed up to become a face to social media sensation Jake Paul, his profile skyrocketed.
After suffering a broken rib, Fury, 22, had to leave the hospital.
Paul, 25, claimed that his opponent feigned the injury in order to protect his reputation during the all-celebrity fight.
Fury denied the claim and insists he will continue his boxing career, with or without fighting the American.
EsNEWS was informed by him that he thought it was absurd. He used my injury to play the role of, "He didn't want to fight." It was actually a real injury.
"I had a serious, major chest infection after breaking a rib. I was not able to fight. Professionals cleared me to fight.

"He knows exactly where the hundreds of thousands of people are - it's there.
"So if he would like to fight another MMA kid in Ohio, let him go. I'm sure we're on to bigger and better things.
Fury would have been Paul’s first opponent with a professional record in boxing.
The 5-0 internet personality has not yet defeated a YouTuber or a NBA player, nor two former UFC fighters.
Fury hopes to reschedule Fury's grudge match, but believes that a win on Tyson's undercard could work.
He stated, "That fight is what I look forward to at the end of this year."
"My goal is to win this undercard. Jake Paul is the final word on the matter.
"We're onto bigger, better things, I don’t know what Jake Paul’s doing, we just did 100,000 at Wembley.
"I want to win on the undercard, and then move on with my life."
"I am a boxer. I'm not a YouTuber boxer or something like that. I'm a full-fledged fighter man.
"Whatever Jake Paul decides, he decides, I'm not interested."
