Fury, half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson, is unbeaten as a professional boxer but is best known for his time on the reality television show Love Island, on which Virgo also featured.

Virgo, who is also unbeaten in pro boxing, and Fury were seen fighting in the crowd at Wembley Arena, moments after a fight had finished.

On the undercard of YouTuber KSI’s bout with businessman and ex-pro boxer Joe Fournier, influencer Salt Papi fought Anthony Taylor. The latter, a former training partner of Jake Paul, previously lost to Fury – as did Paul this February – but was named a decision winner against Salt Papi on Saturday.

However, while the fighters waited for the judges’ scorecards to be revealed, Fury and Virgo began to brawl in the crowd.

Fury, 24, has expressed a desire to fight KSI, 29, next and played down his fellow Briton’s talents on Saturday.

“In my opinion, out of all this influencer boxing stuff, I beat the top of the tree,” Fury said. “Jake Paul's the best out of all of these, so all this now is easy money, baby.”
