TOMMY FURY has insisted that the birth of his first child will not interfere with his training to fight Jake Paul.
Fury and his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague – whom he met on Love Island – welcomed their baby girl into the world this month.

It’s only four weeks before he steps foot in the ring February 26 to meet Paul in Saudi Arabia.
But Fury told the BBC“I’ve got my only eye on Jake Paul.
“By the time I’m in the ring, I’ll be an absolute specimen and I’ll be able to dismantle this guy very quickly and very early.”
Fury, 23, has been forced to pull out of the grudge match twice, in December 2021 with a rib injury and last August amid a US visa issue.
So on the third time he asked, with the fight on neutral ground, Paul, 26, claimed his rival had “no excuses”.
But he swiped to social media comments on the birth of Fury’s baby – which was not announced at the time.
He posted, “Tommy has no excuses now… Baby is born. Money is huge. Immigration not a problem.”
Molly-Mae, 23, announced the birth of her child on Instagram but Paul was quick to dig again.

He commented, “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out.”
Paul has defeated MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, in his career 6-0.
But Fury will be his first opponent with a recognized boxing record that the YouTuber turned prizefighter has faced.
And he said, “There’s no way this man can beat me. There’s not a chance in the world.
“Just because he has 22 million followers on Instagram doesn’t make it a 50-50 fight.”
