Some fans reckoned Tyson Fury‘s half-brother had “never watched football”.

Tommy, 25, held the ball above his head as he looked where to throw the ball during the huge charity match.

But he suddenly switched it downstairs and rolled it in.

The ball was quickly thrown back for a team-mate to take the throw properly.

But as sharp as that action was, it wasn’t fast enough to stop the ring conqueror of YouTube brothers Jake Paul and KSI being KO’d on social media.

One fan posted: “Tommy Fury has just actually done an underarm throw in.. absolutely mad that he doesn’t know the rules of football.”

Loads more viewers pointed out his mishap.

And observations included: “Look at the state of this…” plus “I don’t know why he keeps getting invited back” and “What is Tommy Fury doing, I’m crying”.

Yet some supporters reckon the unbeaten cruiserweight made the situation worse with his very next action.

Presented with cross-shot opportunity on the corner of the box, Fury spectacularly air-kicked.

It was so bad that it was almost good – as he missed the ball by so much and did such an extravagant follow-through that it almost looked deliberate… almost!

Watching scouts might have been… impressed.

And coming as it did at Chelsea, one social media post joked: “Todd Boehly has just made a £60m bid for Tommy Fury. “
