TYSON FURY’s little-known cousin was brutally dropped on his way to suffering his first professional defeat.

Walter Fury has been making his way up the super-welterweight ranks over the last year.

The latest test in his boxing journey came on Friday night on Frank Warren’s latest Lights Out fight card in Liverpool.

Standing between Walter and a perfect 4-0 record was Latvian journeyman Kristaps Zulgis.

But Zulgis well and truly upset the applecart with a stunning decision victory at Liverpool’s Olympia.

Walter was dominated over four straight rounds, with the judges turning in 38-37 scorecards in favour of Peterborough pounder Zulgis.

Zulgis stunned the crowd by dropping 28-year-old Walter in the final minute of the first round.

Walter looked flummoxed by the knockdown but got back to his feet at the count of two.

Footage of the knockdown spread like wildfire on social media and stunned boxing fans.

One wrote on X: “BIG UPSET AS FURY IS BEATEN.”

Another said: “I’m crying. Journeyman decided to lock TF.”

And another said: “Just because his a Fury doesn’t mean it’s an upset.”

One remarked: “Seen this Walter a few times. [He] looks wrong in the ring, he looks uncomfortable and just strange.”

Another chimed in: “Literally every fury I’ve seen boxes in a similar way.

“But each one gets a little bit more s***e. Tyson is an anomaly in that family.

Walter will do well to bounce back from his upset defeat to Zulgis, who has an incredible 59 LOSSES on his record.

Boxing is well and truly in the blood of the Fury family, with Tyson being the most notable fighter of the clan.

Tyson’s brothers Tommy and Roman are also part of the pugilist club and are both still among the ranks of the unbeaten.

Walter isn’t the only cousin of Tyson’s to be involved in the Sweet Science.

Cousins Hughie, James Dean, Nathan Gorman and Horsea Burton are all active professional boxers.

The most famous of Fury’s cousins is Andy Lee, who captured the WBO middleweight title in 2014 with a sixth-round KO Matvey Korobov.
