INCREDULOUS viewers piled in with low blows on Tommy Fury after the boxer's "absolutely mad" throw-in blunder at Soccer Aid.

The former Love Islander bowled the ball in UNDER-ARM after coming on as sub for the Rest of the World XI in England's 6-3 win.

Some fans even reckoned Tyson Fury's younger brother had "never watched football".

Tommy, 25, held the ball above his head on the sideline as he assessed where to throw it during the huge charity match at Stamford Bridge.

But he suddenly moved to below his waist and rolled it in.

The ball was quickly hurled 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 by fans.

One 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..." "I don’t know why he keeps getting invited back" and "What is he doing, I’m crying".

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

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

It was so bad it was almost good - as he missed the ball by so much with such an extravagant swing 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. "
