Tommy Fury has not fought a traditional boxer since beating Daniel Bocianski in 2022 and Viddal Riley believes he should no longer be considered a professional boxer
Tommy Fury has been accused of "losing" his professional boxing status due to his continuous involvement in fights on the Misfits. This claim comes from his former adversary, English cruiserweight boxing champion Viddal Riley, who criticised Fury after he withdrew from his match with Darren Till.
In both encounters against Paul and KSI, Fury was promoted as the professional boxer taking on the YouTubers and influencers. However, Fury recently backed out of his Misfits fight against former UFC fighter Darren Till, after the Liverpudlian threatened to kick him in the face or use other mixed martial arts techniques if he was losing.
Speaking to Mirror Fighting, Riley said: "He's lost it already. He's lost it. If his next fight was announced as a traditional fight, then he can keep that title on him.", reports the Mirror. In 2023, Riley and Fury were frequently involved in verbal spats on social media and during interviews. However, while Riley is following the traditional boxing route to become a world champion, Fury has opted for the influencer boxing path.
