Tyson Fury was seen observing promising young British boxers while attending a recent event. The former heavyweight world champion attended the England Boxing Schoolboy Championships held last weekend in Newcastle.
Among those competing was Solomon Dubois, the younger sibling of IBF champion Daniel Dubois. Notably, Solomon was also present alongside Fury at the event.
Solomon later shared a photo on social media depicting Fury observing from the stands, accompanied by members of his family, such as his brother Shane and father John.
On Instagram, Solomon captioned the photo: “Secret admirer Tyson Fury at my fight.”
Representing Rainham, Solomon reached the final of the 44-46kg division but was ultimately defeated by Leonard Crotty from Royston.
For the Dubois family, boxing is very much a family affair, with all the children coached from a young age by their father, Dave.
The eldest son, Daniel (27), recently defeated Anthony Joshua in September. He is scheduled for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on July 19th, following his loss to the Ukrainian in 2023.
Daniel is also known for performing extensive press-ups under the strict guidance of his father, Dave, who goes by the nickname Stan.
Their sister, Caroline (24), holds the current WBC lightweight title, and another brother, Prince, is also an amateur boxer.
Meanwhile, Fury (36), who had just watched his brother Tommy compete on Friday evening, is currently enjoying his retirement after suffering two defeats to Usyk (38) last year.
However, recent speculation about a potential comeback fight against Anthony Joshua (35) has emerged, fueled by Fury`s recent reunion with his trainer, Sugarhill Steward.
The `Gypsy King` was seen posing for numerous photos with fans while at the amateur national boxing event in Tyneside.
Fury himself has a history in amateur boxing, having won the ABA title, Britain`s top amateur honour, in 2008 before turning professional.
Similar to the Dubois clan, boxing runs deep in the Fury family, with his brothers Tommy (26) and Roman (28) also maintaining unbeaten records in the sport.
