Tommy Fury breaks silence on Molly-Mae split and says he was 'heckled in street'

The boxer met Molly-Mae Hague on ITV show Love Island

Tommy Fury has shared a host of intimate details about his life in his brand new book 'Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life as a Fury'. The 25-year-old added an extra chapter after splitting with his partner of five years, Molly-Mae Hague.

The pair share daughter Bambi and their legion of fans were shocked earlier this year when they announced a separation. It has since been speculated that Tommy cheated on Molly-Mae - something he denies.

In his book, Tommy has opened up about how he felt as though he was 'thrown to the lions' when his split with Molly-Mae became public, while she was comforted and supported by her legion of fans. In the extra chapter, Tommy said that it wasn't fair to share the details of his split with Molly-Mae as he was not the only one involved in it.

Tommy said that 'when the time is right' he potentially may talk about what has happened and the truth of their situation. He said: "It has been without a doubt the worst few weeks of my life, following on from a very difficult six months due to my hand injury, surgery and recovery.

"The reality of separating from someone I love, and the grief that comes with that, stole my appetite and my sleep, and piled on the stress and anxiety in the time since it happened. I have been at rock bottom personally."

Tommy also opened up pulling out of his fight with Jake Paul after he broke two ribs, The Mirror reports. The dad-of-one was mocked on social media for injuring himself before the long-awaited fight, and the professional boxer was left feeling numb and embarrassed that his injuries had stopped him from championing over the controversial YouTube star.

Tommy said that he felt himself slipping into a bad place and there was nothing that Molly-Mae could do to pull him out of it. He wrote: "I was in a state of shock. My whole world fell apart. I didn’t think things could get much worse, but once the news of the fight cancellation hit the press, everything kicked off."

He said that he received a torrent of online abuse, with keyboard warriors claiming he was ‘scared of a YouTuber’, ‘not a Fury’, ‘a fake fighter’, ‘embarrassing my family’ and much worse. Tommy eventually was forced to come off of social media and he said that he rarely went out in public because he would get heckled in the street.

When he did leave the house, people would shout abuse in his face. Tommy went on to admit that it was hard for Molly-Mae to live with him during this stage as he struggled with down days and a low mood due to the fact he couldn't accept what had happened. The professional boxer admitted that he would go to lonely bars and drink his pain away while Molly-Mae stayed at home.

He said: "I would have my down days, but I had never felt like this before. It was a really dark few weeks, and I was not good to live with; Molly couldn’t console me. When I did go out, it was to bars nobody went to and I drank to dull the pain, not for fun."

Tommy insists that Molly-Mae is still his ‘dream girl’ and has vowed to ‘love her until my final breath’. At the time of their shock split, it was reported that it happened because Tommy had cheated which he says is not true.

He said: "The truth will come out in time and when it does, I think a lot of people might regret their actions and unkind words. The whole world will I reckon. What the public think is going on isn’t what is going on.

"It’s not something I envisaged happening, but it didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a thing that was there previously to all of this happening, but the only people who know what is going on in our relationship is me and Molly.”
