Tommy Fury's dad John has claimed the British star will continue to fight influencers once his rivalry with Jake Paul is settled.
Fury will step beyond the ropes with long-term rival Paul on Sunday after months of back and forth verbal battles on social media. It will also be at a third attempt given the collapse of their two previous scheduled clashes, with Fury first forced to withdraw with a broken rib, before being banned from travelling to the US for their second planned meeting last October.
Having waited for several weeks to take on Paul, Fury has been heavily linked with fights against other influencers including a potential showdown with the American's bitter foe KSI . And Fury's dad John believes further meetings with high-profile celebrity names could be on the cards providing there is still a market for entertainment.
"No I don't think so this sport it is a business," Fury Sr told Mirror Fighting via FreeBets.com when discussing future fights for Fury against content creators. "It is about putting bums on seats and eyes on TV. Tommy will fight all those YouTubers and all those reality TV stars and once he is cleaned up that board he will move on to traditional boxing.
"I will even introduce him to wrestling in a minute just like Tyson did, I will get him boxing wrestlers. This is the game we are in to give people entertainment and pleasure. I’m looking forward to Tommy knocking out Jake Paul, the fraudster. I will be drinking champagne for a lot of years. I will have a head like a champagne bottle."

Fury has had eight professional fights in the ring winning all of them comfortably but has yet to receive a real examination of his boxing credentials having fought opposition with limited records. His last outing came in an exhibition clash with Rolly Lambert in Dubai, where bitter rival Paul attended in Dubai and examined his rival up close.
The pair came face-to-face with Fury vowing to end their rivalry with a vicious KO in their clash which will finally take place this weekend. The winner of the contest could potentially be in pole position to settle their own rivalry with British influencer KSI who recently recorded a brutal KO win over FaZe Temperrr.
