The youngster is now raising money for prosthetics – with the Gypsy King promising to help out.

When he met Marshall earlier this week, Fury said: “This man’s going to walk my belt out to the ring.”

He then added: “Walk out Saturday, and we’re going to raise money for his arms.”

After beating Dillian Whyte via sixth round knockout, Fury stayed true to his word – inviting Marshall into the ring.

The duo smiled for a picture together with Tyson’s belt, before giving each other a big hug.

Fans may notice that Marshall took to the ring wearing a Tottenham shirt.

The youngster is Spurs-mad, and previously enjoyed a kickabout with his idols at White Hart Lane.

As an eight-year-old, he was walked out onto the pitch by Mousa Dembele during half-time of a clash with Southampton in 2016.

Wearing a shirt with Harry Kane’s name on the back, Marshall enjoyed a kickabout with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Harry Winks and Nacer Chadli.

Spurs fans gave him a rousing reception, singing “sign him up, sign him up” and “We love you Marshall, we do”.

A year on aged nine, Marshall was invited to walk Spurs out at Wembley for their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

He fist bumped hero Kane, before walking out alongside captain Hugo Lloris.

According to an ITV report from 2019, Cornish teen Marshall requires a fresh pair of prosthetic limbs every year until he is 18.

They add that his first legs cost £9,727, while his first hands cost £14,172.

Marshall is also a MMA fan, and met another hero in Michael Bisping at UFC 204 – when The Count beat Dan Henderson in Manchester.
