I’m not surprised Tommy Fury was booed at the boxing – he needs to stop copying everything Molly-Mae does, he’s jealous
JUST when we thought Tommy Fury couldn’t get on our nerves any more than he already has, the wannabe-lothario strikes again.
The pro boxer, 25, reportedly cheated on influencer and businesswoman Molly-Mae Hague, also 25, “a number of times” while she was sitting at home “holding the baby” – though he has vehemently denied the claims.
And I have to say, I’m not surprised that he was booed by the ‘whole of Wembley’ whilst sitting ringside ahead of Anthony Joshua’s fight with Daniel Dubois on Saturday.
There’s no doubt that we’ve all been reeling since the mum-of-one announced the heartbreaking end of their relationship on Instagram last month.
The story – and claims Tommy had been unfaithful – sent shock waves around the country and was splashed across newspapers and magazines for everyone to see.
And although we were already fuming at the accusations that have been thrown at the father and Love Island star, it appears that his social media presence has become even more irritating.
As an avid follower of both stars, I’ve noticed there seems to be a clear symmetry in Molly-Mae and Tommy’s Instagram activity.
Upon returning to Instagram after the break-up, Molly-Mae shared a stunning snap of herself in the countryside and penned: ‘Thank you for being the best online friends I could’ve ever wished for.’
A mere matter of hours later, Tommy also returned, with a downcast post captioned: ‘These last few weeks have been heartbreaking. The false allegations about me have been horrendous, thank you to everybody who has stood by me through this.’
But this isn’t the first time Tommy has mirrored Molly-Mae’s Instagram activity and quickly posted moments after her.
The blonde-haired beauty recently shared an adorable black and white snap of her and Bambi to her stories with the caption ‘My loving little girl’.
And of course, shortly after, Tommy also took to his socials, posting a picture of the youngster painting.
But arguably the most noticeable and vexing of all, after Molly-Mae teased her new business venture, Maebe, Tommy shared a clip of him working up a sweat in the boxing ring with help from his dad, John Fury, the very same day.
Fans were quick to point out the timing of Tommy’s post, which came just a few hours after Molly-Mae’s.
One person commented: “Every time Molly posts something you also do.”
A second said: “I thought so too.”
A third commented: “That’s what my ex used to do every time I posted something so did he point scoring that’s what it is.”

‘He’s piggybacking on her fame’
But why is he doing it? If you ask me, it’s simple. He’s jealous.
Before Love Island, Tommy was relatively well-known as a result of being brothers with boxing champ Tyson Fury, 36.
But now, Molly-Mae – then an unknown social media influencer – is arguably much more famous than him.
He’s piggybacking on her fame and can’t stand that she’s doing better than him

With 8.3 million followers on Instagram compared to his comparatively less standing of 5.4 million, it appears that Tommy is desperately fighting to repair his broken reputation.
When the seemingly happy couple left the Love Island villa back in 2019, people said she was ‘riding on his coat-tails’, but look how times have changed.
Intimidated by Molly-Mae’s financial success
Molly-Mae now runs three businesses, is a successful influencer and works alongside some of the biggest brands in the UK, all whilst juggling looking after an energetic one-year-old.
Not only this, but on paper, her firms are worth FOUR times what boxer Tommy’s are.
Molly-Mae’s three companies – MMH Group Holdings Ltd, MMH International Ltd and Filter (By Molly-Mae) Ltd – have combined reserves of £1,720,506.
Whereas Tommy’s two main firms Fury TNT and Tommy Fury TNT Ltd have equity of £415,203.
Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury's split
After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024.
At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ‘ I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way’.
An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him ‘a dad’.
The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her – leading to an explosive showdown.
On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday.
Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy.
MMH Group Holdings’ full accounts show that it paid £593,384 in tax last year, at a 19 per cent corporation rate, meaning it raked in £3.1M last year.
Yet Tommy’s firms don’t reveal how much tax he’s paid.
If this break-up has shown anything, it’s that he’s piggybacking on her fame and is potentially intimated by her success and in my opinion, can’t stand that she’s doing better than him.
He won’t steal her shine
She’s worked tirelessly ‘for a few years now’ to launch her fashion brand, Maebe, with fans going absolutely wild for it, and right at the height of her success, Tommy is attempting, but failing, to steal her shine.
Ever since Bambi was born in January 2023, he has been pictured partying countless times – even with the likes of notorious womaniser Chris Brown.
He was snapped shirtless in clubs, having his face touched by girls in Dubai in a VIP section of Trilogy night club in March this year.
It’s clear that now, more than ever, Tommy needs to take some responsibility
Abigail Wilson
We’ve known for a while that Molly-Mae has been attempting to juggle it all, which she made clear in a recent vlog posted to YouTube where she admitted that she had been “solo parenting” amid “the most intense week of her entire life”.
There’s no doubt that we’re all invested in arguably the biggest showbiz break-up of the year, but Tommy’s social media activity is appearing calculated, and is definitely not cute, or demure.
New social media strategy?
In her solo statement announcing the break-up, Molly-Mae carefully referred to little Bambi as “my beautiful daughter”, while Tommy used the phrasing: “our”.
And if Tommy’s posting is anything to go by, it’s clear that he’s trying to subtly defend himself and make it clear that he’s trying to be likeable.
But like many women around the country, I think that Tommy should grow up, do his own thing, and stop copying Molly-Mae.
Whilst he embarked on numerous escapades to bed random women, leaving Molly-Mae spending the last 19 months “solo parenting”, it’s clear that now, more than ever, Tommy needs to take some responsibility.
I think many of us recognised that it’s time he owned up to his mistakes (and came up with his own social media strategy, rather than copying his ex’s).
