Tommy Fury has revealed how much he saw his fiancée Molly-Mae Hague and his daughter Bambi as he prepared for his most recent fight.
The boxer, 24, walked away victorious from his fight against YouTube star and Prime entrepreneur KSI at Manchester’s AO Arena on Saturday.
As he entered boxing camp ahead of the fight, he ‘moved out’ of their £4million Cheshire home, only returning once a week.
Speaking to Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley on Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain, Tommy admitted he ‘can’t go from super dad to wanting to rip someone’s head off’.
The sportsman explained: ‘I removed myself from home, all the comforts at home I’ve been seeing Molly and the baby once a week for the last ten weeks.’

He continued: ‘I can’t go from being super dad and a cuddly fiancé to wanting to rip someone’s head off.
‘I thought removing myself so I can solely concentrate on the fight and the task in hand was needed, so that’s the reason why I moved out.
‘It’s tough because I don’t like to balance home life with my job. I keep them both completely separate because nothing comes before my family and home life.
‘It wouldn’t be fair to my family to come through the door with the fight on my mind and that’s all you need when you’re in training camp.’
Tommy and Molly met on Love Island in 2019 and got engaged in July, have formed a power couple, with Tommy supporting Molly in her work as an influencer while she is at her side for matches.
Yet while Molly-Mae was at the AO Arena to show her support for her fiancé, she has previously explained she is unable to watch his fights.
Tommy added: ‘First of all she is doing great, on the fight, she watched the whole thing through the floor. She didn’t look up once.
‘It is what it is, I can understand it – she’s my fiancé, I’m the father to our beautiful daughter and she doesn’t want me taking punches.’

The two stars locked horns after months of trading verbal insults and barbs before some heated exchanges at press conferences, but it was Fury who emerged victorious.
However, it wasn’t the sensational knockout victory Fury was hoping for. Instead, he went the distance with KSI, had a point deducted and won the bout via majority decision with the score cards reading 57-57, 57-56.
KSI was furious with the decision after the fight. He said: ‘Robbery, it’s a robbery. You weren’t landing, look at your face. Look at you. I’m the YouTuber and you’re the boxer, you have to win.’
Meanwhile, Fury said: ‘Listen, he’s an awkward man. At the end of the day I got the victory. We are 10-0. I haven’t spoken to him. A lot went in the build-up. I’m done with this cross-over s***. Any of the Paul’s want it, I welcome it with open arms’.
