The half-brother of world heavyweight champion, Tyson, has also reportedly completed 100 rounds of sparring as he prepares to fight YouTuber-turned boxer, Jake, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight has been a long-time coming with two cancelled bouts and months of back and fourth.
Tommy’s father John told Sportsmail that the 23-year-old had sent one sparing partners to hospital with a hairline fracture in his jaw and had KO’d several others. He’s faced heavyweights, cruiserweights and light-heavyweights in preparation for his bout with Jake.
John said: “We’ve had excellent sparring. People have hit him back too if you know what I am saying.”
