TOMMY FURY made a winning return to the ring on Friday night – but fight fans were more blown away by the presenters of the show and the Ibiza-style trance party during the interludes.
Fury, 26, recorded a dominant win over Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic in their six-round Budapest bust-up.

Boxing fans couldn’t help but comment on the concert, which had a sprinkling of fights, that they were treated to[/caption]
The fight was preceded by several musical acts and a techno DJ set worthy of a dark and sweat-riddled Ibiza nightclub.
Two Hungarian presenters oversaw proceedings at the MTK Arena.
And the duo well and truly caught the eye of viewers back home.
One boxing fan commented: “The presenters of the Tommy Fury Budapest card are absolutely worth tuning in for. “
Another said with an image of the two presenters: “Worth it, init?”
The musical interludes were also a major talking point for fight fans watching live on DAZN.
One sarcastically said: “Can’t even begin to tell you how happy I was to get a popstar musical interlude just now on this Tommy Fury boxing show in Hungary.”
Another said: “Some weird choices in the production and like 3 or 4 music acts, this event is so weird lol.”

And another said: “Loving the music.”
Fury, 26, moved to a perfect 11-0 with a unanimous decision victory over Hanjalic, his first win since his victory over KSI in October 2023.
And an emotional ‘TNT’ was quick to pay tribute to girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague and daughter Bambi in his post-fight interview.
He said: “I just want to say thank you for this victory to the Lord Saviour Jesus Christ, without him, none of this would be possible.
“I want to say hello to my beautiful baby girl, Bambi, at home. And my sweetheart, Molly. She’ll always be mine forever.
“And I want to dedicate this to my mother and father because without them, I wouldn’t be breathing. I wouldn’t be here.
“The reason I am here today is my mother and father. I will love them until the day I die and I owe them everything.”
The fomer Love Island star then proceeded to open up on his battles with depression and alcohol.
“I’ve been through a hell of a lot these last two years,” he said. “I’ve been through things that tear men down.
“Drunk, an alcoholic; I lost my family for a little bit.
“But I’ve turned things around, I’ve gone from being low to being on top of the world again.”
