London, UK – Tuesday 14th July 2026 – BOXXER is delighted to announce the signing of James Dean Fury to a long-term promotional agreement, with the highly-rated amateur set to make his professional debut on Saturday, August 8 at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, live and exclusively on DAZN worldwide.
The talented boxer becomes the latest member of the famous Fury fighting family to turn professional.
A three-time national amateur champion and Box Cup winner, Fury enters the professional ranks following an outstanding amateur career in which he established himself as one of the country’s brightest young talents.
Trained by his uncle, Peter Fury, the 20-year-old, who will be campaigning at super middleweight, is now ready to make his mark on the professional scene as he begins the next chapter of his career under the BOXXER banner.
James Dean Fury said: “I’m very grateful for this opportunity. I’d like to thank my uncle Peter, BOXXER, Ben Shalom and Mick Hennessy for making this possible. My goal is to go all the way. I want to win world titles and become the best fighter I can be. I train hard, I’m dedicated and I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to reach the top. I’m excited to start this journey in Leeds on August 8 and put on a good performance for the fans. The super middleweight division is full of great fighters, but I believe the best version of me is going to wipe everyone out.”
