Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic LIVE RESULTS: TNT calls out Jake Paul after scrappy win while Roman delivers brutal KO
TOMMY FURY'S return to the ring after 18 months has been a success as the former Love Island star beat Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest!
It was a scrappy contest to say the least but TNT won on points before dedicating the victory to 'sweetheart' Molly Mae and calling out bitter rival Jake Paul.
And Tommy's half-brother Roman also came out on top tonight with a dominant KO victory.
The ref was forced to call an end to what was a heavily dominated fight after just round four.
Tommy calls out Jake Paul
Tommy Fury issued a chilling message to Jake Paul in an X-rated callout following his winning return to the ring.
Fury, 26, was fired up after his first outing in over 18 months and issued a blunt message to long-time rival Paul moments before leaving the ring.
'TNT' said: "Jake Paul's a b***h and he's running scared. Jake, the hand's fixed now, baby. The hand's fixed.
"I fought a guy in here tonight who's had over 100 amateur fights and is experienced as hell and he's as tough as teak.
"If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I'll knock you spark out."

Roman Fury finally lives up to name
In the Hungarian capital, Tommy Fury’s brother Roman also featured on the undercard.
Fury delivered multiple left hooks which sourced the beating of a badly labouring Pehar.
A one-sided fight seemed to be called off but the referee let it go on, but Fury kept up the constant pressure and a tired and injured Pehar feel to his knees once again as the contest was stopped in the fourth.
Fury displayed a strong performance, and has now won five of his last five fights after stopping Pehar for the second time in his professional career.
The results from last night...
- Tommy Fury UD beats Kenan Hanjalic
- Roman Fury KOs Josip Pehar

Tommy Fury on a HUGE comeback win
Fury is lapping up his return back in the winning column.
“I just want to say thank you for this victory to the Lord Savior Jesus Christ, without him none of this would be possible,” he says buoyantly
“I want to say hello to my beautifuyl baby girl Bambi at home, my sweetheart Molly, she’ll always be mine forever.
“And I want to dedicate this to my mother and father because without them I wouldn’t be breathing, I wouldn’t be here. The reason I am here today is my mother and father. I will love them until the day I die and i owe them everything.
“I’ve been through a hell of a lot these last two year. I’ve been though things that tear men down, drunk, alcoholic; I lost my family for a little bit. But I’ve turned things around, I’ve gone from being low to being on top of the world again.”
Tommy Fury wants Jake Paul rematch
Fury’s post-match touched on all the agony of the past year. All the sacrifices, tribulations and hurt suffered in his long-waited return to the ring and what next.

Tommy Fury beats Kenan Hanjalic UD 6
Fury's first ring action in 18 months comes away with a bitty win on points.
Shades of quality were present but nothing note-worthy enough that will have make headlines.
TNT moves to an 11-0 record with more needing to come.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic – Round 6
Fury lands a tidy set of hooks on the upper but Hanjalic shows a commendable steel to take them and embrace them.
An incredible amount of engaging, whether that be forced or not, from the two.
Final round ends in the scrappy tempo this dust-up undertook.
Result to come.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic – Round 5
Fury continues his semi-calculated approach in this.
Hanjalic takes a momentarily knee with that low blow still having an uncomfortable impact on his already lax movement.
A minute from time, Fury managed to let off some nice combos to the body but nothing Hanjalic couldn't eat up.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic – Round 4
There's little doubt that when Fury dose start to box hes the cleaner fighter but those moments are little between as he founds himself engaging in a scrap of belief rather than a fight of technique.
Hanjalic pleads to the referee about the potential Fury head blows, but that dosen't stop his charge to make this a messy fight even after a points deduction.
Both are leaking, especially Hanjalic.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic – Round 3
A lot of jab-and-retreat work from Fury in the first two rounds but has now presented a more proactive challnege in the ring with his hands.
In the closing stages lets his hands go and catches Hanjalic with a low blow and the face as the referee seeks clarification on whether he is able to continue, which he dose.
Father John suggests that Tommy continues to control this encounter with the jab.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic – Round 2
Not much combination or technique from the two as the brute approach remains bare.
Hanjalic stumbled on his feet early on before picking himself up and reneging with intention.
A taunt or two from the Bosnian to assure he's not going anywhere.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic - Round 1
After an opening 30 seconds of assessing, Fury is on the immediate engage with a few jabs to the body.
Not to the fear of Hanjalic, who carries the power that will cause undoubtedly cause hesitancy within Fury with the pair ending with a flurry of hooks and words.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic
Hanjalic enters the MTK Arena with a band of entourage in a black behind him in very business-like mode.
Remember he came to Budapest with one mission – "to win."
Fury, the show-stopper that the Hungarian faithful have showed out for, is draped in a white-gold combo as he prances his way to the ring.
Showtime.
Tommy Fury vs Kenan Hanjalic
After a hellish break that one of the presenters calls "short" which lasted longer than the 10-minute intended break we took before the Roman Fury fight, main event action is upon us.
Anyway, Tommy Fury is being welcomed to the ring finally.
