Roman Fury secures debut stoppage win in Brighton
Roman Fury’s Meteoric Rise: A Knockout Debut and Aspirations for Championship Glory
Roman Fury achieved his inaugural career knockout by halting Bradley Davies (1-6-1, 1 KO) in the third round of their cruiserweight bout.
Dedicating himself to the sport during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fury (3-0, 1 KO) has swiftly risen through the ranks despite being a relative newcomer. Rather than honing his skills on undercards, his notable surname ensures that his learning journey unfolds prominently in front of television cameras. Sporting a frame and languid style reminiscent of his renowned brother, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, Roman dominated the initial round with his southpaw jab.
Maintaining the momentum in the second round, Fury capitalized on his size and speed advantages. However, faced with Davies, who displayed little ambition, Fury’s lack of experience became apparent as he struggled to penetrate the Liverpudlian’s guard.
Gaining confidence, Davies started to adopt a more daring approach. As the third round neared its end, he advanced aggressively and walked directly into a concise left hand from Fury. Davies went down heavily, and though he managed to rise, the referee decided to stop the fight.
It was a precisely executed punch, and after the match, Fury emphasized his desire to stay active and pursue championship titles.
Debutant Harvey Dykes (1-0) got his professional career underway with a routine four round decision over Erik Nazaryan (29-35-4).
The heavyweight pleased his substantial fan base, showcasing the skills that led him to a National amateur title. He skillfully avoided taking any significant hits, outboxing his smaller adversary with ease. His superior footwork proved too much for the seasoned Georgian veteran, and he resisted getting involved when Nazaryan attempted to taunt and lure him into a toe-to-toe exchange.
Dykes tired but has an interesting style and is a big character. He won every round and earned a 40-36 decision.
