Tommy Fury dedicated his victory over Eddie Hall to his newborn son after beating the former World's Strongest Man on points in their exhibition bout.
The three judges at Manchester's AO Arena scored the fight - over six two-minute rounds - 59-56, 58-56 and 57-57.
British boxer Fury, the half-brother of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, was returning to the ring for the first time since he beat Kenan Hanjalic in a professional bout in May 2025.
"This was for my new baby boy, Midas," said Fury, revealing the name of his second child with partner Molly-Mae Hague.
"It's another Fury. It's another boy.
"I've fought a lot of people, and this guy can fight. He's not slow; he's fit. Thank you for taking the fight and thank you for a great fight in Manchester."
The event was the latest example of a boxing show that blurs the lines between professional sport, entertainment and social media celebrity.
Fury's professional resume includes high-profile victories over influencers-turned-boxers KSI and Jake Paul.
Briton Hall, who won the World's Strongest Man title in 2017, lost to strongman Hafthor 'Thor' Bjornsson in 2022 in an exhibition bout billed as 'The Heaviest Boxing Match in History'.
Hall moved into MMA and claimed a knockout victory over strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski last year.
At Friday's weigh-in there was a 108lb (49kg) difference in weight, but Fury used his superior boxing skills to hold off Hall.
On the undercard, two-time Olympic taekwondo champion Jade Jones beat Argentina's Federikita in her second boxing bout, earning a technical knockout win when the fight was stopped in the second round.
