He has no amateur experience and says that he has “only messed around on the pads” – but that is not stopping him from trying to add more championships to the family collection.
Roman, who lives in Morecambe and trains alongside WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson and fellow brother Tommy, told VIP Boxing: “I don’t want to rush things. I don’t want to box on big bills just because I carry the ‘Fury’ name.
“You can’t run before you can walk and the VIP Boxing shows are ideal for me to learn my ringcraft and build.
“I could have had amateur fights, but I am around professional boxers and learning that side of things.
“Amateur fights would have been a nice experience, but I would rather go into the pro ranks and learn. These shows will improve me.”
And Tyson previously said: “He’s an aspiring cruiserweight champion of the future.”
Roman previously had a scholarship to become a rugby league player but got into boxing after his weight ballooned to 19 stone.
He shifted six stone after starting training with Tyson and Tommy during lockdown and is now ready to go under the microscope by following the family tradition in the ring.

Roman added: “Being criticised is in my thoughts, but that comes with my name. People look at Tyson and assume we’re all as good as him.
“I have not had any amateur experience so I am doing it cleverly. No matter what I do people are going to criticise so I have to get on with it and do my own thing.
“It’s not like I have never put a pair of gloves on. I have always done the basics of boxing from a young boy.
“I have been around boxing my whole life and I don’t consider myself a complete novice who has just put the gloves on.
“I want to go for titles. I am looking for British titles and like any boxer have ambitions to win World titles.
“I would even love Central and English titles. I would be privileged to win them because that is very, very good. Not many boxers even win Area titles.”
