New dad Tommy Fury reveals his priority now is ‘much-needed family time’

New dad Tommy Fury has revealed that his priority now is ‘much-needed family time’ – after winning his boxing match against Jake Paul over the weekend.

The sporting star, 23, welcomed his first child – baby girl Bambi – with his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, also 23, at the end of January but had been busy prepping for the fight for the child’s first few weeks.

It comes after on Tuesday Molly-Mae admitted the couple have had some ‘tough times recently behind closed doors’ as the pre-fight pressure impacted family life. 

Tommy has now said as he reflected on the fight: ‘So guys I have landed back soundly and safely with the family. I just want to  say a massive thank you to all the people that have sent me lovely messages, it means the world to me.

‘Thank you to everyone who turned out to the fight it wouldn’t have been the same without you guys. We did it we got the job done.

‘Now it’s time to spend some much needed family time! I can’t wait to see what options we have on the table come next week but until then guys take it easy.’

He captioned the post: ‘Still on cloud 9. Can’t thank you all enough for the love. Means the world to me’, along with a love heart emoji. 

It comes after Molly-Mae celebrated his homecoming after he defeated Jake during their boxing match in Saudi Arabia.

The former Love Island star shared a snap of herself cradling daughter Bambi after she decorated their home with balloons and a ‘Welcome Home Champ’ sign. 

Molly-Mae also posted an adorable black and white photo of her and Tommy on the couch together cradling their little one. 

In a heartfelt post, the influencer spoke about how proud she was of Tommy’s achievement and admitted the couple have had some tough times recently.

She said: ‘DADDYS HOME ✨ From day 1 of this fight being mentioned two and a half years ago, I backed this boy.

‘It definitely wasn’t a straight or easy road, we had some seriously not so good days behind closed doors… but Sunday night made it all worth it.

‘The good guy doesn’t always finish last, I am so proud of you❤️’.

Tommy defeated Jake Paul via split decision in Saudi Arabia – but it wasn’t without its drama and controversy.

Tommy was the rightful winner in the end – with the judges calling the fight 76-73, 76-73, 74-75 in his favour – but with a point deduction and a knockdown against his name, it was far from plain sailing.

This fight between the British former Love Island contestant and an American who found fame through YouTube was the result of over two years of social media warfare that saw a clash culminate only at the third time of asking.

Tommy had to pull out of the two previously arranged contests and was bombarded with claims that he was scared to fight the seemingly less decorated boxer in Paul.

The star always maintained he had to pull out of his dates with Paul for legitimate injury and visa-related reasons. 

It’s no wonder after finally being able to prove himself right that the Mancunian was moved to tears as he was announced the victory.

At the end of the contest, Tommy had his hand raised and Jake didn’t seem like he would contest that too much. 

The pair shared another nice moment in there as Tommy shed tears after winning. 

Molly-Mae  stayed at home with the duo’s one-month old baby, who Fury dedicated his win to on Sunday.

He also donned his daughter’s name on his trunks for the fight.
