Tommy Fury's dad John has claimed the British star did a "great job" in his exhibition bout with Rolly Lambert in Dubai.
Fury was set to take on Paul Bamba in a professional contest but the fight was shelved at short notice after a contract mix-up. Late-replacement Lambert was able to step in and save the outing for the Briton, but the event became classified as an exhibition.
The former Love Islander put on a laboured display in the ring, failing to KO his opponent before being booed during the fight by the disheartened crowd. However Fury's father John has claimed he told his son to take it easy during the exploit as to not ruin the format of an exhibition.
