On 22 December 2018, Fury made his professional boxing debut, defeating Jevgenijs Andrejevs (10–102–3) at Manchester Arena in Manchester, scoring a four-round points decision victory (40–36).[8] In his second bout on 23 March 2019, Fury defeated Callum Ide (0–26–2) via knockout in the 1st round at Leicester Arena in Leicester.[9]
In 2019, Fury took part in Love Island, effectively halting his boxing career. Fury returned on 21 December fought Przemyslaw Binienda (2–26) at the Copper Box Arena in London, defeating him via technical knockout in the 1st round.[10] On 13 November 2020, Fury defeated Genadij Krajevskij (0–12) via knockout in the 2nd round.[11]

After defeating Taylor on Paul's undercard, it was announced that the two would headline on 18 December at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, US.[15] However, on 6 December, Fury withdrew due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib. Fury was replaced by mixed martial artist Tyron Woodley.[16] Fury vs Paul was then rescheduled for 2 August 2022 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, US. However, Fury withdrew again due to being denied entry into the US and was replaced by Hasim Rahman Jr.[17]
After withdrawing, Fury returned to the ring on the undercard of his brother Tyson Fury's WBC and The Ring title fight against Dillian Whyte on 23 April 2022 at Wembley Stadium in London, in which he defeated Daniel Bocianski (10–1) via points decision victory. After defeating Bocianski, Fury called out Paul.[18]
On 27 January, it was announced that Fury vs Paul was rescheduled a third time for 26 February at the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.[19] Fury defeated Paul via split decision with one judge scoring the fight (75–74) to Paul, while the other two judges scored it (76–73) to Fury.[20][21]
In November 2019, British YouTuber KSI defeated American YouTuber Logan Paul via split decision.[22] Afterwards, Fury called out KSI to a bout, which KSI later declined as he wanted to focus on his music career.[23] On 30 July 2023, it was announced that Fury would face KSI on 14 October at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England headlining MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card.[24] In a closely contested affair that consisted of both boxers clinching excessively, Fury defeated KSI after six rounds via unanimous decision: all three judges scored the bout 57–56 in Fury's favor.[25] The result was originally announced as a majority decision, with judge Rafael Ramos' scorecard being incorrectly tallied to 57–57.[26]
On 4 October 2022, it was announced that Fury would face American boxer Paul Bamba (5–2) as the co-feature bout to Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Deji at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, UAE.[27] However, during the weigh-in on 12 November, Bamba weighed in at 176.6 Ibs while Fury weighed in at 181.4 Ibs. Both fighters stated that they made the weight that was stated in their contract.[28] Bamba refused to fight, and on 13 November, the day of the fight, Bamba was replaced with Cameroon boxer Rolly Lambert (15–1–1) who held the WBO Africa, WBC and WBA Asian titles for an exhibition fight.[29] During the bout, Fury and Lambert were booed while Fury's rival Jake Paul was on commentary, which led to Fury calling out Paul to a bout.[30]
