Tyson Fury gave his seal of approval to his brother Roman Fury's performance as he defeated Martin Svarc on the Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou undercard.

The 27-year-old had both brothers Tyson and Tommy Fury walk him into the ring along with their father John Fury.

Tyson beamed from ear-to-ear as he sat ringside with his wife Paris with Roman coasting past his opponent on points.


Svarc got a taste of Roman's power in the fourth and final round as the Czech Republic boxer was left with a bloody nose.

Roman has now won all four professional fights with Tyson clearly impressed by his sibling's performance as he stood up and applauded after the contest.

"Thank you to my father for training me and I am buzzing to have the win.

“And thank you to Tyson for coming to watch me because it’s all happening thanks to him.

“I’m waiting to wake up! This feels like a dream.
