Tommy Fury has had no shortage of challenges from top names.
The British superstar has already made a name for himself in the boxing world, but largely in the influencer realm, outpointing Jake Paul and KSI in his last two high-profile fights.

Fury is often compared to his brother Tyson Fury, who is currently the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, and “TNT” hopes to leave a similarly successful legacy in the sport.
Naturally, the rising star is looking for big names to compete against, given the prospect of lucrative scholarships despite being in the early stages of his career.
And he has now received a challenge from Muhsin Cason, brother of Hasim Rahman, who hopes the pair will meet at a big event at the peak of their careers.
“I think it would be good for television, it would be good for social media and it would be good for boxing,” Cason suggested.
“Our two brothers are world (heavyweight) champions. We’re both trying to win a world championship. I think it would be a legacy fight.
“You’re going to get paid more for being a personality than you are for being a professional boxer. So what I did was: I said I was going to be both.
“I’m going to have the skills (of a professional boxer), but I’m going to have the personality to be on platforms like Jake Paul cards and also on influencer cards because I know where the money is. “
When asked about Fury’s current trajectory, Cason says he was perplexed by his recent outings.

“I just think he has a lot of money, he talks this talk like he’s a real boxer, but he’s only faced (limited competition).
“He’s never faced a real boxer like that, and I think if he went in with me, Viddal Riley, someone like that, he would get hurt, and I definitely think he used the platform of his brother (Tyson Fury).and sympathy to get (his big fights).
“Consider yourself a real boxer and the next world champion – and never fight a real prospect”
“You haven’t even faced a real fighter yet.”
Cason won his first eleven professional fights undefeated and is scheduled to face DeShon Webster on April 27 in Philadelphia.
This would likely be a scintillating fight to make considering both men are currently competing at cruiserweight.
Fury is currently out of action after undergoing hand surgery and has not yet set his return date.
Reports indicated he was in preliminary talks to face legend Roy Jones Jr, but that is now firmly ruled out.
