ROMAN FURY became the FIFTH in his family to shine on Channel 5 on Friday night. <\/p>\n
The cruiserweight – who had no amateur background – went 3-0 with a brutal knockout of Bradley Davies. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And it would have been seen by masses as it featured on free-to-air TV on Channel 5. <\/p>\n
The station has been somewhat of a happy hunting ground for the Fury family. <\/p>\n
After all, it is where superstar Tyson made his name. <\/p>\n
The current WBC heavyweight world champion had several fights on Channel 5 in his early days when signed to Mick Hennessy. <\/p>\n
In 2011, he beat Derek Chisora over 12 rounds for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles. <\/p>\n It was considered an upset at the time and a massive THREE MILLION <\/strong>viewers tuned in. <\/p>\n Fury's later wins against Nicolai Firtha, Neven Pajkic, Martin Rogan, Vinny Maddalone, Kevin Johnson\u00a0and Steve Cunningham were also on Channel 5. <\/p>\n Some of 35-year-old Tyson's relatives also fought on his undercards on the terrestrial TV channel. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Cousin Phil boxed on the night of Tyson's 2011 win over Chisora, losing on the undercard to Lee Noble. <\/p>\n He retired in 2012 at 13-3, winning his last three bouts. <\/p>\n Tyson's brother Young Hughie's last fight against Imantas Davidaitis, which he won over four rounds, was aired on Channel 5. <\/p>\n He also retired from boxing in 2015 at 6-1 but remains a part of Tyson's team. <\/p>\n Cousin Hughie – like the Gypsy King – made early strides on the channel while signed with Hennessy. <\/p>\n His 2018 KO against Sam Sexton garnered a huge 2.9m viewers. <\/p>\n Hughie has not fought since his October 2021 stoppage of Christian Hammer amid a health battle. <\/p>\n The only big name from the family not to be on the platform is Tommy, who shot to mainstream fame in 2019 on reality TV show Love Island. <\/p>\n Tommy, 24, boxed exclusively on BT Sports under Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. <\/p>\n That included a pay-per-view fight against YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, which he won on points with over 800,000 buys. <\/p>\n But after leaving Warren, Tommy beat Paul's arch enemy KSI in DAZN PPV bout, which organisers say sold 1.3m buys. <\/p>\n<\/picture>GOOD KNIGHT FROM HIM <\/span><\/p>\n
