Tommy Fury made a winning return to boxing on Friday night, but fight fans were more captivated by the show`s presenters and the extensive trance music interludes, which resembled an Ibiza party.
The 26-year-old Fury secured a dominant victory over Bosnian fighter Kenan Hanjalic in their six-round bout held in Budapest.
The boxing event was preceded by several musical performances, including a techno DJ set reminiscent of a dark and energetic Ibiza nightclub.
Two Hungarian presenters hosted the event at the MTK Arena.
And the duo truly captured the attention of viewers watching from home.
One boxing enthusiast commented on social media: “The presenters of the Tommy Fury Budapest card are absolutely worth tuning in for.”
Another user, sharing an image of the two presenters, commented: “Worth it, right?”
The musical interludes were also a major talking point for fans watching live on DAZN.
One user sarcastically remarked: “Words cannot express how happy I was to get a pop star musical interlude just now on this Tommy Fury boxing show in Hungary.”
Another commented: “Some weird production choices and like 3 or 4 music acts, this event is so weird lol.”
And another simply stated: “Loving the music.”
With the unanimous decision victory over Hanjalic, the 26-year-old Fury improved his perfect professional record to 11-0. This was his first win since defeating KSI in October 2023.
And an emotional `TNT` was quick to pay tribute to his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague and daughter Bambi in his post-fight interview.
He said: “I just want to say thank you for this victory to the Lord Saviour Jesus Christ, without him, none of this would be possible.
He continued: “I want to say hello to my beautiful baby girl, Bambi, at home. And 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.”
The former Love Island star then proceeded to open up about his battles with depression and alcohol.
“I`ve been through a hell of a lot these last two years,” he said. “I`ve been through things that tear men down.
Drunk, an 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.”
