Tommy Fury has admitted his celebrity fiancée, Molly-Mae, hates his boxing.
But the former Love Island star is so passionate about the game that he’s unstoppable and is eager to prove his point by getting in the ring to face KSI on Saturday night.
Fury and Molly have been in a relationship since 2019. They have since welcomed a baby girl, Bambi, who was born earlier this year.
And the boxer has now admitted his partner hates being punched – but she ‘tolerates’ it because he knows what it means to her.

“He doesn’t like my boxing,” the 24-year-old candidly confessed ahead of his fight with KSI tonight.
“Especially now that we have a baby.
“She sees the father of her child coming into the ring and potentially getting hurt and punched.
“That’s not good. I’m sure if you have a partner, you wouldn’t want to see him get beaten.
“It’s like that. Boxing is a fun sport. She tolerates it because she knows how much pleasure it gives me.”
As a Fury, Tommy has a lot to live up to.
His brother, Tyson, is one of the best heavyweights in the entire history of the sport.
John Fury, his father, is also a brilliant boxer – even though he is now famous for his conduct at events.
But the young player is not under pressure. Instead he insists that he owns it – and is ready to make the family name proud.
When asked about the expectations from him, he said, “It’s absolutely fine and I’ll tell you why.”
“I know I’m a level above these guys.
“When you know you can beat somebody, it’s a different story. In my mind, it’s not 50/50 at all. I’m 100 times better than KSI.
“I’m a better athlete, better fighter, mover. You want to call it, I am.”
“I’ve been under so much pressure before. It’s not like this is my first big opportunity. I’ve been on this world stage before, and all eyes were on the fight.
“I have Ronaldo. I have Mike Tyson. I have everybody.
“This is actually my second time. I’m looking to do much better this time.
“I’m trying to get KSI out there quickly and make a statement.”
Misfits boxing is viewed by some as a stain on the sport.
In recent years, more and more YouTubers have chosen to step into the ring – among them KSI, Logan Paul, and Jake Paul.
Yet, while Fury remains critical of his opponents, he has admitted he is happy to take the money on offer.
“These fights are fantastic financially,” he said. “We are not going to wander around here.
“We all know that’s why I’m making these fights.
“If it didn’t happen [financially fantastic] Do you really think I’ll be able to entertain these idiots?
“I don’t like the circus that goes with it. I’m about the fight. So, at the end of the day, if I wasn’t paid a lot of money to be here I wouldn’t come.

“I’m going to stick to the traditional boxing path. That’s why I’m here. I’m here to end it all and become world champion.”
On Misfits Boxing he added, “It’s a load of bullshit. I’m just passing the time here.
“Doing media, doing what I’m obliged to do in my contract.
“I really enjoy being in the ring. That’s where I shine.”
“For them [YouTubers], this thing is happening. Promoting and selling fights is their territory.
“For me, it’s between the ropes, getting down in it.
“The rest is bullshit. It doesn’t make any sense. Once they get in the ring, they have no place to run.”
