In recent years, Love Island has remained one of the most popular shows. While the ITV daytime show is infamous for its 'Love Curse', it has also brought together several couples. Among them are Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, the couple who finished as runners-up of the 2019 series. Since leaving the show, their relationship has gone from strength to strength, defying Love Island's infamous curse.
Clearly, dating Molly - one of the most followed Instagram celebrities in the UK - has made Tommy even more famous. However, prior to falling in love with his Love Island partner, Tommy was already known as the younger brother of boxing legend Tyson Fury.
Born in a family with a boxing tradition, Tommy also follows in the footsteps of his brother and is pursuing a professional boxing career with substantial achievements. Without further ado, let's take a look at his life and how he manages to do well in both reality TV and boxing.
Tommy Fury was born in Manchester, England, on May 7, 1999, to parents John Fury Sr and Chantal Fury. He hails from a boxing family with a long history in the sport. Tommy is presently a young British professional boxer competing in the light-heavyweight class.
Tommy is related to Tyson Fury - one of the biggest names in the boxing world. The 34-year-old boxer is a two-time world heavyweight champion, having held the WBC title since defeating Deontay Wilder in 2020, and The Ring magazine title from 2020 to August 2022. As the younger half-brother of Tyson Fury, Tommy has received a lot of advice from the boxing legend in his career.
Tommy received his schooling at St. Ambrose Barlow High School in Manchester, England. He took a break from high school to appear on the Love Island TV reality show. He is no longer saying anything about his plans to attend college.
Tommy began his boxing career as a kid. Being born into a boxing household fueled his enthusiasm for the sport from an early age. Fury has 12 amateur contests before moving up to the light-heavyweight division.
On December 22, 2018, he made his debut at the Manchester Arena against Jevgenijs Andrejevs, who was twice his age. Following this, Tommy was highly regarded as a fighter, especially in comparison to his brother Tyson, who is a very well-known boxer.
He established himself as a professional boxer with back-to-back three victories from his opening matches. Tommy showed his exceptional performance by knocking British boxer Callum Ide at Leicester Arena out in the first round, where Callum received his 28th defeat in 30 fights.
Tommy Fury definitely raised the bar and rose to prominence after his triumph at Copper Box Arena. Przemyslaw Binienda of Poland was knocked out in 62 seconds by Fury at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. This victory drew a lot of attention to Fury, and he cemented his place in the boxing world.
Tommy Fury has fought eight times in his professional boxing career, with eight wins and 0 defeats. Fury's boxing record is 8-0 as of October 2022. (4 KOs). He has competed 24 rounds of professional boxing in 8 fights.
Tommy took a break from boxing after two bouts in 2019 and joined season 5 of the TV reality show Love Island. Here was where he was romantically linked with beauty brunette Molly Mae Hague within just five days of entering the villa.
Tommy collaborated with his fellow Islanders on the program in order to ask Molly-Mae to be his girlfriend. Molly-Mae said yes, and the rest, as they say, is history.
During season five, Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea were declared Love Island champions, although Tommy and Molly-Mae are the finest couple to emerge from the show. They returned to the UK together shortly after the final and met one other's friends and family.
In September 2019, they moved in together to Molly's apartment shortly after their Love Island stay. In the months that followed, Hague and Fury used social media to keep followers up to date on their relationship. Hague and Fury kept fans updated on their relationship with sweet social media posts of them celebrating Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and everything in between.
After a three-year quest, the couple announced in March 2022 that they had located their 'dream house'. She and Tommy bought a spacious property in an affluent neighborhood of Cheshire, which is estimated to be valued at over £4 million. The couple even has an Instagram account for their little property!
In a lovely Instagram post in September 2022, the couple revealed that they are expecting their first child together. They were caressing Molly's bump in the video before Tommy went down to kiss her belly.
After taking a nine-month break from boxing to participate in a reality television show, Fury returned to the ring on 21 December 2019, defeating Przemyslaw Binienda via first-round technical knockout at the Copper Box Arena in London.
After years of beefing with each other, YouTuber-turned-professional-boxer Jake Paul and Tommy tried to schedule a fight - which was eagerly awaited by many fans. The first fight was scheduled to take place in late 2021, but Tommy's injury in training camp forced him out of it. Then, just a few months ago, the second attempt at holding the pair's clash failed again after Tommy failed to travel to the U.S.
His most recent fight was a non-title bout against Daniel Bocianski on April 23, 2022. Fury won the fight via 6 round PTS. It's been 5 months and 19 days since this fight and he is expecting further rounds in the future.
