Tommy Fury once 'knocked out' Tyson Fury with body shot in sparring, but the video won't worry Jake

Tommy Fury once put Tyson Fury down and out with a body shot in sparring, albeit the Gypsy King was not taking things 100 per cent seriously.

The brothers regularly train together and, despite their weight disparity, even occasionally share some rounds in the ring with one another.

Tyson is a heavyweight and most recently weighed 269lbs (19st 3lbs) for his last fight against Derek Chisora in December.

Tommy boxes between light-heavyweight and cruiserweight, and is set to face Jake Paul at a 185lbs (13st 3lbs) catchweight this weekend, live on talkSPORT.

As a result of the six stone weight difference between them, the brothers of course do not spar properly.

However, they have been known to body spar on occasion and even once put out a jokey video of a body shot KO in the gym.

In the clip uploaded in September 2020, Tommy tagged Tyson with a left hook to the ribs and the heavyweight world champion collapsed to the canvas in faux-agony.

Tommy then walked over to his downed older brother and put his foot on him to jokingly prove his superiority.

Tommy was just 3-0 at the time and continuing to build his profile having come out of Love Island the year before.

Not long later, his feud with Paul began.
