Tommy Fury has revealed he has undergone surgery for a hand injury, which he said he has kept to himself despite being involved in professional fights. Sharing a picture of himself on a hospital bed on Instagram, the Manchester-born boxer said he has been dealing with the injury since 2019 - one he has "never spoken about/shared online".

He wrote: "Since my third professional fight I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to use my right hand at all. For the last four weeks of my last camp I trained solely with my left hand until fight night.
