But he also shot to mainstream fame on the 2019 series of Love Island, where he met fiance Molly-Mae Hague.
Fury - who shares one-year-old daughter Bambi with Molly-Mae - has spoken about how he plans to go into acting after retiring.
But according to Variety, he has got a head start after landing a role in an upcoming comedy movie called "The Debt Inherited".
It will co-star Leo Gregory - who played Bovver in Green Street - and Peaky Blinders' Paul Anderson.
The black comedy crime film tells the story of Colin and Stanley, two good-for-nothing brothers who are faced with the repayment of their dead dad's debt to a notorious loan shark called Maggie.
They become unwittingly involved in a criminal underworld and entangled in a web of blackmail and deceit.
Fury is to play Johnny – a no-nonsense henchman to Maggie - but the lead roles of Colin and Stanley are yet to be cast.
Anderson portrays Terry, a womanising alcoholic who employs the brothers to stop his work colleague Dirk, played by Gregory, from exposing him to his wife as a cheat.
