Tommy Fury, who met his partner Molly-Mae Hague on Love Island back in 2019, was issued a stern warning about spending time with his young daughter Bambi
Tommy Fury was warned not to see his daughter Bambi.
In his new BBC documentary, Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury, the boxer was told he shouldn’t spend Christmas Day with his young daughter, Bambi, by his father John.
Father Fury argued that family time over the festive season would knock Tommy off course. In the second episode of the series, John made it abundantly clear that he wanted his son to throw himself completely into his boxing training camp.
He told Tommy: “The thing we don’t want is distractions. People coming. We don’t want it, because when you’re here and you’re talking to people you’re not resting. You want to be training eat, drink, sleep, train, repeat.”
“It’s six weeks of hell but you’ve got another four to six weeks to go and to do the other stuff, haven’t you? All that’s out there is the pub, alcohol, s*** food and s*** company.”
Tommy clapped back: “That’s all I ever do anyway. I don’t do nothing else my whole life. Train,” reports the Mirror. John remained unmoved and told his son that discipline sometimes required making tough choices, even when it came to family: “If you can’t sacrifice six weeks of your time without your children, all that s*** in the world outside. What we doing here?”
Tommy remained convinced that a brief break from training camp to visit his daughter on Christmas Day 2024 wouldn’t impact his boxing performance: “I can’t see, on Christmas Day, me picking the baby, me saying ‘Merry Christmas’, I can’t see that going to lead me to win a fight or not.”
John fired back saying he “is not doing that,” while Tommy pleaded: “You just got to go and hug the baby for five minutes. There’s no harm in that.”
His father stood firm and explained: “You go back, you have your Christmas, you hold the baby, all of a sudden you get an L on your record for that day. You will never look at them in the same light again, family or not family because you’ll resent them. […] The greats don’t do it.”
Following their heated exchange, Tommy opened up to the cameras and said: “My dad doesn’t understand the modern world and obviously he’s just an old school fellow and the way the world is today, you know, even I find it hard to live in the world sometimes today, with the amount of b******* that’s going on.”
