He is also known to establish an impressive boxing record at the start of his career. Let’s dive right into his story with these 15 facts: 

Tommy Fury: 15 Fun Facts

1. Tommy Fury’s age:

Tommy Fury’s birthday was on May 7, 1999. So, how old is Tommy Fury? As of early 2021, he is 21 years old. The Love Island runner-up and the professional boxer was born in Manchester, England, United Kingdom. 

2. He no longer cares about his famous six-pack: 

Tommy Fury has admitted he’s lost his six pack and says having a ripped body ‘doesn’t mean anything’ after Molly-Mae Hague poked fun at his plump stomach.

The Love Island runner-up, 21, says he isn’t bothered about having chiseled abs now that:

1)  he’s in a long-term relationship with Molly and, 

2) never intended to show off his physique on the ITV2 dating series “Love Island”. 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, reality star and sportsman Tommy said: ‘I wouldn’t say I have a six pack anymore. I don’t care about having a six pack. It wasn’t important to me on Love Island either.’  Speaking of his boxer brother Tyson, Tommy continued: ‘Tyson doesn’t have a six pack but he’s the best heavyweight in the world, so it doesn’t mean anything. 

‘I was in good shape on the show but at the end of the day Love Island wasn’t a bodybuilding contest. It was about finding a girlfriend and falling in love.

‘That’s why I went on the show and I saw it through, which is how I ended up with Molly. I only went on Love Island to find someone….’Love Island is definitely a great platform to express yourself but if you take away everything I have now and only left my family and Molly, I’d still be happy’.

3. While his love for Molly touches our heart, she wasn’t shy about his weight gain or instigating a proposal from Tommy: 

Molly, 20, teased Tommy for his protruding ‘belly’ on Instagram as the pair holidayed together in the Maldives over New Year.  Molly-Mae Hague is his girlfriend who he first met at the villa while shooting the fifth season of Love Island. 

But the strong-headed boxer/reality star said his appearance is the least of his concerns, saying: ‘As long as I’m fit and I’m strong then I don’t care…..’I’m not interested in material things. If you go on the show and look for material things then you won’t enjoy it.’ 

Tommy, who’s on a mission to cut-down his meat intake and eat more plant-based foods with the support of frozen food brand Strong Roots and its new meat-patch, said the only time he argues with Molly is when she leaves her PrettyLittleThing deliveries all over the flat they share together in Manchester.

He said: ‘It’s been my first time living away from home and it’s just easy. 

‘But all I see when I come home are PrettyLittleThing bags. I’m not going to lie, I do shout at her ‘Put them in the spare room!’ They’re everywhere, all over the floor. I’m telling you.

‘The worst thing that I do is leave the wet towel on the floor when I get out the shower.’ 

Before Tyson’s fight against Widler, the boxer had hinted at the possibility of proposing to his girlfriend in case his brother won the match. Now an Instagram star, Molly told MailOnline that she predicted Tommy would pop the question during their Maldives getaway, saying: ‘I’m looking forward to having a rock on my finger.’

But Tommy has admitted he’s yet to plan a big proposal, though confirms Molly is most definitely The One. He said: ‘I see myself marrying Molly, of course I do…..’I see her as my life partner and I’m sure we will cross those bridges when it comes to it but I’ve no idea when.’ 

4. Tommy’s boohooMAN brand: 

After his GF Molly-Mae launched a collection with PrettyLittleThing, Tommy also turned his hand to fashion with the launch of his brand new boohooMAN edit. Asked if he ever thought he’d have his own edit, Tommy told heatworld: “Seeing as I wear boxers that are one week old and sniff them before I put them on, definitely not; but I’m now considered a fashion man. It’s an absolute privilege to be working with boohooMAN and be part of the family.” So what’s his favourite piece from the collection, then? “It’s got to be the shiny red coat,” he said. “With a nice white tee underneath, you can’t go wrong for the winter months. It’s practical and fashionable, we’re killing two birds with one stone.”
