ROMAN FURY maintain his unbeaten record with a routine win on the undercard of brother Tommy’s ring return.
The new heavyweight prospect made his first outing in over a year in the co-main event on the Budapest brwals.
Standing between Roman – Tommy and Tyson Fury’s little-known brother – and a perfect 5-0 record was Croatian clubber Josip Pehar.
But he boxed beautifully to remain in the ranks of the unbeaten and continue his own journey to a world title.
Southpaw Fury immediately took the centre of the ring and went to work pumping out the jab.
Pehar offered incredibly little, circling out of range each and every time Fury looked to throw a heavy let hand.
A straight left rattled Pehar with 20 seconds of the round remaining and forced the Croat into retreat mode for the rest of the stanza.
Fury continued to stalk Pehar after the restart but was opting to be more selective with his shots.
And he droped Pehar with a big left hand with just seconds before the bell.
Pehar got back to his feet but well and truly got saved by the interlude.
Fury put his foot on the gas in the third but Pehar frustrated him with clinches galore.
But Pehar found himself on the canvas after eating a stiff jab.
Although he was actually pushed to the mat.
Pehar’s consant holding well and truly got the nerves of the referee, who deducted a point moments before the end of the round.
Fury walked Pehar onto a beautiful left hand shortly after the restart but somehow made it back to his feet.
But the referee mercifully waved off the contest after he bent over following anothor hellacious barrage of shots.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
