Host Susanna Reid, who is never one to bite her tongue, asked Tommy: “What did you earn from the fight?”
Chuckling, Tommy replied: “I did very well,” before grinning to the camera.
“At the end of the day it was a great pay day for me.”
He then stopped himself before adding: “Not for me, well not for me, because everything I do now is for my little girl Bambi. Everything I do is to make sure she’s happy and has a good life for herself.

“Whatever I can to make sure she has that, that’s enough for me. This victory, it was for her and for both them.”
Susanna then quipped back: “The reports are that it’s four million.”
She added: “But you are a family man. You have a strong family anyway, we know that because of your dad John and half brother Tyson.”

Tommy then went on to gush over his beau, branding her “amazing.”
He said: “She’s the best woman any man can ask for. I owe everything to her and Bambi.”
It comes as Molly finally reunited with Tommy on Tuesday, after his boxing watch win.
The pair had been apart after the birth of their Bambi in January, when Tommy quickly left their family home to head to training camp ahead of the fight.
