Tommy Fury was left shaking after facing yet another injury in the ring. The boxer, 26, has faced numerous fights over the course of his career but one incident in particular left him with doubts over his future in sport.
In the sixth episode of his BBC docuseries The Good. The Bad. The Fury, it all seems as if one of his latest matches had gone well but then he notices a 'problem' and he was left overcome with worry as it dawned on him that he had sustained a hand injury.
In a confessional, he said: "After I the fight, I took the glove off and it was massive. So that's when the worry started to seep in. Ah f***, my career is over."

The former Love Island star, who famously suffered a hand injury in the past that stopped him boxing and then ultimately spelled the end of his now-rekindled relationship with Molly Mae Hague after he turned to drink, admitted that it felt 'just the same' as it did during that fateful time.
He added: "It doesn't feel great, to be honest. It feels exactly the same as it did when it was bad. I can't stop it shaking and it's killing me. I'm just praying that I'm not in the same boat as I was."
"The hand is still badly swollen and badly bruised. I'm praying that all the surgery that was done and performed is still intact. I'm praying that nothing has come out or come loose or that nothing is torn or damaged."
Tommy was rushed to the doctor and told the cameras that all he could to was 'ask God to be there' with him throughout, and kept hoping that everything would turn out all right in the end.
He decided to wait for the results of an MRI scan and 'refused to get into the headspace' of thinking that it was all over for him.
In a moment of reflection, he said: "I won the fight but hopefully I ain't lost the war." As the episode wrapped, Tommy went shopping to welcome Molly and their two-year-old daughter Bambi back home.
He said: "At the end of the day, my sole purpose was to get Molly and Bambi back here, back under one roof, back like before. I've had to sortmyself out and put my a*** in gear. They've stuck by me through thick and thin, and I'm so grateful for it."
Asked how he felt about the future, he said: "To lose Molly and Bambi again, that's the biggest fear for me. Without training in my life, everything will fall down again.
"It's like Jenga, so I guess we will just have to wait and see."
