Molly-Mae Hague Breaks Silence on Tommy Fury's Fight Timing
Pregnant influencer Molly-Mae Hague has publicly addressed concerns over her fiancé Tommy Fury scheduling a boxing match just days before she is due to give birth to their second child. The couple, who first met on Love Island in 2019, are already parents to three-year-old daughter Bambi and are expecting another baby in June. Their relationship, rekindled last year, appears stable, but Tommy's latest career move has sparked widespread debate among fans and followers.
Fight Details and Public Reaction
The boxer is set to face Eddie Hall at Manchester's AO Arena on June 13, a date that has raised eyebrows due to its proximity to Molly-Mae's due date. In a recent YouTube Q&A session, Molly-Mae directly tackled the mounting concerns from her audience. She acknowledged the timing might seem alarming but urged everyone to remain calm.
"A lot of questions about how do you feel about Tommy's fight and obviously the date of it," she began. "Obviously I knew that you guys were going to like be concerned about that and have questions about that, but fear not." With a light-hearted tone, she added, "Fear not fair maiden because we're actually feeling really, really good about it and have a really good plan in place."
Explaining the Plan and Timing
The influencer elaborated that the timing works better than it may initially appear. She noted there is actually a good amount of time between her supposed birth and the fight, as she plans to have the baby in London again, similar to her previous experience. Reflecting on her birth with Bambi, she mentioned giving birth at The Portland hospital.
Despite public concern, Molly-Mae insisted she harbors no worries. "I'm not worried and I'm actually really, really happy that he's got a fight because it's been over a year since his last fight," she stated. She spoke positively about the benefits of Tommy returning to the ring, emphasizing that having a date and a focus is a really positive thing for them both.
Contrast with Past Challenges
Molly-Mae acknowledged that her first experience of motherhood was far more difficult, largely due to Tommy's high-profile bout with Jake Paul shortly after Bambi's birth. At that time, she had just given birth and was left largely alone while Tommy travelled extensively for training. "It was just mental and obviously it was our first baby. I just given birth and he was literally going to Saudi and it was it was really hard," she explained.
However, she expressed confidence that things will be different this time around. "But this time round it's not going to be anything like that. He will be at home. He will be living at home. He will be having his camp at home. We're actually feeling really, really good about it," she reassured. Summing up her current mindset, she added, "So, no concerns over here. We're in a really, really great place. Everything feels, almost just feel like a little bit too good to be true."
Background on Previous Struggles
Tommy's upcoming fight marks his return to boxing after more than a year out of the ring. His last bout occurred shortly after Bambi's birth, with Molly-Mae induced to ensure he could attend the delivery before travelling abroad. Following that fight, he spent several weeks away, leaving Molly-Mae to navigate early motherhood alone—an experience she has previously described as deeply challenging.
She admitted the experience left a lasting impact, saying she felt "traumatised" during that period, suffered from lack of sleep, and even experienced a breakdown. "The first four weeks of Bambi’s life I really did do it by myself and I was home alone with her," she reflected. Describing the emotional toll, she added, "I pushed a lot of people away, I don’t know why. It sounds dramatic and it sounds intense but I guess I do have a little bit of trauma from the first few weeks."
Molly-Mae also spoke about physical challenges post-birth, revealing severe constipation that she described as harder than her labour. Despite these past struggles, she has publicly shown support for Tommy's upcoming fight, even commenting "SHOW TIME!!!" on his announcement post. Tommy defended his decision to fight so close to the due date, stating, "I have a job, but obviously I love my family too."
