Tommy Fury responds to bold comparison to boxing legend Gennady Golovkin

Tommy Fury has thanked his dad for comparing him to world champion Gennady Golovkin - and didn't shy away from the comparison.

Fury looks to extend his professional unbeaten run to eight fights against Daniel Bocianski on the undercard of his brother Tyson's world title fight with Dillian Whyte. It marks Fury's first fight this year having pulled out of a clash with Jake Paul last December.

Speaking at Wednesday's press conference, John Fury said of his son: "He’s sharp, he’s strong. I also see shades of Golovkin in there as a younger man. He’s stepped up to the plate and got a 10-1 opponent. You’ll see a different Tommy this time."
