Roman Fury Maintains Unbeaten Record Despite Controversial Stoppage in Germany
Rising Heavyweight Extends Perfect Record
Roman Fury extended his undefeated record to a sixth fight on Saturday night in Germany, stopping Kevin Greenwood in the fourth round of their heavyweight clash. The bout was part of the Agit Kabayel-Damian Knyba DAZN card at the Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen. As the younger brother of former two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, Roman is steadily building his professional career in the shadow of one of boxing’s biggest names.
Controversial Ending Draws Crowd Reaction
While Fury dominated throughout the contest, the decision was met with boos from spectators, who appeared unconvinced that Greenwood was in immediate danger at the time of the stoppage. Fury landed a short combination near the ropes, prompting the referee to intervene and wave the fight off. The heavyweight bout was Fury’s sixth professional appearance and came against Kevin Greenwood, a 42 year old opponent who entered the fight on a lengthy losing run. Despite the crowd’s displeasure, members of the Fury family, including Tyson Fury, showed no concern about the timing of the call and celebrated the result.
Fighter Responds to Criticism
During his post-fight interview inside the ring, Roman acknowledged that the fans weren’t happy with the way that the fight ended, noting this being his first outing since a TKO win in May of last year. “People are forgetting about me, I’ve not fought in eight months,” Fury stated. Roman has no boxing amateur pedigree, but decided to take up boxing for fitness during the COVID pandemic, a move that saw him lose almost seven stone in a bid to get fit. His journey from fitness enthusiast to professional boxer makes his unbeaten streak particularly noteworthy.
What This Means for Roman Fury’s Future
The win moves Fury to 6–0, though the discussion afterward focused less on the result and more on how it was reached. Prior to the fight, he called out Chase DeMoor, signalling interest in a crossover-style bout that would bring added attention and intrigue. As Roman continues to develop his skills and build his professional record, he faces the dual challenge of stepping out from his famous brother’s shadow while managing expectations. With the Fury name comes intense scrutiny, but Roman appears committed to forging his own path in the heavyweight division, one fight at a time.
