Tommy Fury has been paid his fight purse in full despite weighing in heavier than Paul Bamba for their cancelled bout.
Rising star Fury was set to make his latest professional outing against ex-Marine Bamba on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's exhibition win over Deji in Dubai. However the fight, set for 175lbs, was cancelled after Fury tipped the scales seven pounds heavier than his rival.
Despite his appearance being thrown into jeopardy, Fury found a late replacement in the shape of Rolly Lambert, whom he fought in the co-main event, which was instead classified as an exhibition bout. Despite Fury missing out on another notch on his professional record the promoter of the event, Global Titans, have insisted the terms of his contract were honoured.
