Tommy Fury vs Marsellos Wilder tale of the tape: Boxing brothers of Tyson and Deontay compared as shots fired

TOMMY FURY is keen to follow older brother Tyson’s lead and bash a Wilder.

The Love Island 2019 star fancies fighting Deontay’s younger brother Marsellos to complete a quickfire family double.

Back in February Tyson was crowned WBC heavyweight champion of the world when he battered Wilder all around the ring before his corner pulled him out in the seventh.

The pair were meant to have a trilogy fight – they drew in their first scrap – but Fury says Wilder missed the deadline.

But the American disputes this and has taken his case to his legal team to enforce his chance at redemption.

But we could still yet see Fury versus Wilder – with Tommy and Marsellos taking the stage.

Tommy, 21, who fights tonight, said: “I don’t want to look past Friday’s opponent but, if his brother wants the same as Deontay got, then he can get it.

“I see a lot of people tweeting about wanting to fight me but I never saw that before I went into Love Island so I know what they are after.

“If Marsellos Wilder is one of those then I will happily oblige.

“My advice for him would be to keep quiet and stay in America where he can try to help his brother recover from what Tyson did to him, fair and square.”

Tommy Fury is back in action and has aims to be heavyweight world champ like his brother Tyson

Marsellos Wilder has fought seven times, and lost twice

Tommy has won all three of his fights since turning pro and has talked of his dreams about becoming heavyweight world champ.

Marsellos, who competes at cruiserweight, has not fought since a devastating KO loss to little-known Dustin Long in November last year.

It was his second stoppage loss of his seven-fight career after he was battered by William Deets in January 2019.
