Tommy Fury joins Conor McGregor and glam family at Road House premiere before UFC icon reveals plans to fight him
TOMMY FURY attended the premiere of Conor McGregor’s debut Hollywood film – just days after calling out the UFC superstar.
McGregor was in London this week to promote the soon-to-be-released Road House along with acting royalty Jake Gyllenhaal.

The film‘s UK premiere took place on Thursday night at the Curzon in Mayfair and was attended by several celebs and social media stars.
And Fury – the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – was one of the several high-profile people in attendance.
Fury went for a smart casual look, donning an ice-blue Christian Dior jacket worth £2,400 with a white t-shirt, black trousers and pristine white trainers.
Fury, 24, was in the orbit of McGregor less than a week after throwing his hat into the ring to welcome the MMA icon back to the boxing world.
He told DAZN: “I’m looking to get this injury out the way nice and recovered.
“And I have just seen that Jake Paul will face Mike Tyson next.
“So how about me and McGregor next, how’s that?
“I need a comeback fight and I’d like for my return. So McGregor, get in touch.”

McGregor, 35, initially didn’t respond to the call-out but has seemingly opened the door to the fight by revealing he’s willing to dip his toes into the influencer boxing world.
He told SneekPeakTV: “Yeah you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer.
“Your Uncle’s friend needs a f***ING radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay.
“I would consider them guys to be nixers.
“If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the U.K.”
Former two-division champion McGregor hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
He’s expected to make his return against rival Ultimate Fighter 31 coach Michael Chandler later this year.
But the date for his eagerly-anticipated comeback is well and truly up in the air.
