Tommy Fury has finally detailed the reasons why he and fiancee Molly-Mae Hague split in an emotional interview with Men’s Health
The mother’s set of stipulations are said to include a party ban and pitching in more with family life instead of focusing on his boxing matches.
He stated that his ‘mental health was in the pan’ during his recovery from surgery, which came off the back of ‘the best year I’ve ever had’ in 2023 which saw both his career and life with Molly flourish.
The pair, who were the runners-up on reality TV show Love Island season five in 2019, got engaged in 2023, months after welcoming their daughter Bambi.
‘The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore,’ he confessed.
‘I’ve only lived for training and my family, and that was all snatched away from me. So what I did for fun is I started to drink quite a lot. I found that’s what made me feel better,’ he said, adding: ‘I wanted the endorphins that I’d get when I’d finish a good session, when I’d finish sparring, when I’d finish fighting.’

‘Cheating was never a thing,’ Tommy insisted. ‘You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing. You need to get a grip of it.’
‘It kills me to say it, but it’s true, I couldn’t. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink, and it is what it is. People go through different things in life and we all have our crosses to bear. I’ve got mine to bear.’

Molly-Mae, who was filmed kissing her ex on New Year’s Eve, is now said to be considering what Tommy would have to do to make their relationship work.
Admitting that he would go out most nights and drink to ‘get black-out drunk’, he said he replaced his intense training camp schedule by ‘smashing Guinness left and centre and then later on in the night shots would come out’.
Tommy explained how his problems started when he underwent reconstructive surgery in January 2024, after snapping all the ligaments in his hand in 2019

He was also snapped at an event at the Hungary Opera House with another brunette woman during the same boozy trip. The trip is said to have contributed to their split.
