It was a hugely underwhelming performance from Fury, the younger half-brother of former world heavyweight champion Tyson, and in early 2024 he underwent surgery on a potentially career-threatening injury<\/a> that he had been battling in secret for four years – ever since his third professional bout – and said had often stopped him from using his right hand completely.<\/p>\n

Recovered from that operation, the 26-year-old had been due to return in another crossover contest against former UFC fighter Darren Till in January, only to withdraw from that showdown<\/a> due to what he said was his opponent\u2019s threats not to adhere to established boxing rules and instead use \u201ckicking and other stupid MMA tactics\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now Fury – currently based in Budapest – will finally step back between the ropes for what is only a six-rounder at cruiserweight against Hanjalic as he looks to get his career back on track and improve his unbeaten 10-0 (4 KOs) professional record.<\/p>\n

Bosnian Hanjalic is 27 and has a pro record of five wins and one defeat, having stopped Edhem Hrustic early last month to bounce back from his sole loss to Angelo Morejon.<\/p>\n

Fury vs Hanjalic prediction<\/p>\n

Having not previously seen Hanjalic box, it is obviously very difficult to make a prediction of how he may be able to trouble Fury.<\/p>\n

But it is extremely difficult to imagine that they would have picked an opponent who was too difficult for his first outing in more than 18 months.<\/p>\n

Fury\u2019s boxing career has notably stalled since his money-spinning fights with Jake Paul and KSI, and it remains to be seen if he just sees a future in those sorts of (admittedly hugely lucrative) high-profile celebrity contests or if he still wants to make a genuine push for success in the traditional sport.<\/p>\n

More than two years have now passed since Tommy Fury beat Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia<\/p>\n

Now over that lingering hand issue, he will want to make a statement return but will have so much ring rust to shake off and will no doubt be grateful just to get some rounds under his belt at long last.<\/p>\n

We envisage a low-key contest short on fireworks in which the heavy favourite eases to a wide points win.<\/p>\n
