Tommy Fury's Fight Timing Sparks Concern Amid Molly-Mae's Pregnancy
Boxer Tommy Fury has scheduled a significant fight for just one day after his pregnant partner Molly-Mae Hague's due date, raising eyebrows among fans. The Love Island stars, both aged 26, are expecting their second child, with their daughter Bambi already three years old. Molly-Mae announced her pregnancy last month, revealing she was five months along at the time, and her due date is reportedly June 12.
Fight Details and Fan Reactions
Tommy Fury plans to face retired strongman Eddie Hall at the AO Arena in Manchester on June 13, a date perilously close to the expected arrival of their new baby. Sharing a promotional poster on Instagram for their "The Beauty vs The Beast" bout, Tommy's announcement drew mixed reactions. Some fans expressed concern, noting the proximity to Molly-Mae's due date, especially after she was induced for their first child to ensure Tommy could attend the birth ahead of his fight with Jake Paul.
Comments from followers included: "Right by your due date again!!" and "Does this mean Tommy is missing the birth of your 2nd child?" However, Molly-Mae showed her support by commenting "SHOW TIME!!!" on the post, indicating her backing for the fight despite the timing.
Past Birth Decisions and Current Support
In 2023, ahead of Bambi's birth, Molly-Mae chose to be induced to accommodate Tommy's fight schedule with Jake Paul, which took place on February 26 in Saudi Arabia after previous cancellations due to a rib injury and visa issues. In a YouTube blog detailing her birth story, Molly-Mae explained that they opted for induction to have a "rough understanding" of when Bambi would arrive, ensuring Tommy could be present. She emphasized the importance of avoiding a situation where she went into labor while he was unavailable, stating, "That would have been really bad!"
Environmental Backlash and Personal Life
Amid the pregnancy and fight news, Molly-Mae faced criticism from environmentally conscious followers after sharing snaps from a recent private jet trip to Disneyland Paris with Bambi. Fans accused her of "destroying the world" and questioned why she couldn't fly commercially to reduce CO2 emissions, with comments like "What will be left of this planet in 50 years time?" and "Destroying the world with your private jet." Molly-Mae, known for luxury travel, captioned the photos "Soaking up the last moments of just us," highlighting her family time despite the backlash.
This combination of personal milestones and public scrutiny underscores the challenges faced by the couple as they navigate parenthood, career commitments, and public perception.
