Shane Fury Jr has a European title before he has finished school boxing's first stage. Competing at his first international tournament, the nephew of Tyson Fury won 70kg gold for England in Trabzon, Turkey, and did it the hard way: all three of his fights were decided on the judges' cards.
He received a bye into the quarter-finals, where he beat Ukraine's Bohdan Moroz by split decision. A unanimous decision over Moldova's Dan Florea put him in the final, and another split decision, against Azerbaijan's Sarkhan Hakverdiyev, gave him the gold. His grandfather John Fury praised the way he dug in against a good, awkward southpaw.
Tyson Fury, 38, is preparing for his own fight with Anthony Joshua on Dec. 11, but he made time to talk up his nephew, calling him dedicated and completely focused on boxing. He also said: "Wait until you get to see Shane Fury Jr and wait until you are introduced to the real Shane Fury Jr over the years."
Two other boxing families were also represented on the podium. Solomon Dubois, the younger brother of Daniel and Caroline Dubois, won his first two bouts by unanimous decision and beat Azerbaijan's Sunay Azimov 4-1 to reach the 60kg final. He lost by the same margin to Russia's Mikhail Novikov.
Lola Hatton, daughter of Matthew Hatton and niece of former world champion Ricky Hatton, took 60kg bronze after a split-decision semi-final loss to Russia's Kristina Okhlopkova.
England's gold haul was completed by Bilal Iqbal at 75kg, Millie Rolfe at women's 44kg and Brogan Darrie at women's 40kg. Whether the famous surnames go on to follow their relatives into senior boxing is for the years ahead; for now, Fury Jr has the early headline.
