Tommy Fury believes that Molly-Mae Hague deserves more credit for putting up with him being away training now that they are new parents.
On Sunday, the boxer will meet YouTuber Jake Paul in a multimillion-pound bout in Saudi Arabia.
Last month, Molly-Mae gave birth to their daughter Bambi, while Tommy has been preparing for the next bout.
“Molly has decided to handle everything on her own,” he tells Newsbeat.
“She has never disturbed me in any way.
“She has been simply fantastic. I believe that people should give her a lot of credit for that.”
Tommy has been criticized online for his absence while Molly-Mae was pregnant as he prepared for the fight.
Yet, he claims that the battle with Jake Paul is so significant that he could not take much time off from training.
Tommy Fury states,
“It’s such a big fight that you can’t skip training camp.”
“These are the types of sacrifices I’ve made in preparation for this.
“The situation is as it is, what can you do? I’ll make amends when I return home.”
This is the third time the bout has been scheduled; Tommy was injured the first time and had visa problems the second time.
Jake Paul tweeted that there were “no excuses, the baby has been born” to announce the fight, posting the news before Tommy and Molly-Mae did.
Tommy recalls,
“When we saw that, we weren’t very upset because there were approximately 20 million people guessing about it.”
“He didn’t know anything, and he was in the United States, so Molly and I thought, ‘Oh, great move!'”
The fight is taking place in Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is prohibited and women are restricted in their actions.
In recent years, the country has hosted a number of major boxing matches and has been accused of utilizing them to enhance its international reputation, sometimes known as sport-swashing.
Tommy responds,
“I can only speak from my experience.”
“And so far it’s been incredible; they cannot do enough for us. Everything that we required was readily available.
“I believe this will be the epicenter of sport in the future because there is so much to choose from here and everyone is striving to be the greatest.”
