Tommy and Molly-Mae paired up on day 5 and remained together inside the villa all the way until the season finale, cementing their status as one of the all-time best Love Island couples.

After ample time away from the Love Island villa, Tommy has continued to increase his public profile through a series of different occupational avenues. He also has quite a fascinating past that fans of the reality dating show are bound to be interested in.

Where And When Was Tommy Fury Born?

According to Famous Birthdays, Tommy Fury was born in Manchester, England on May 7, 1999. Currently 22 years old, Fury’s zodiac sign is Taurus, which may account for his bullish loyalty and hardheaded stubbornness, traits he demonstrated on Love Island.

Despite being born in England, neither of Fury’s parents are of English descent. Rather, Tommy’s father is of Irish Traveller descent and his mother hails from the island nation of Mauritius.

Tommy Fury Has A Famous Half-Brother

Arguably the most exciting fact about Tommy Fury is his relation to the current heavyweight champion of the world. Indeed, Tommy Fury is the half-brother of Tyson Fury, who defeated Deontay Wilder in a knockout win on Oct. 9, 2021.

In addition to providing training and moral support for his big brother, Tommy recently appeared in the docuseries Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King, which highlighted the champion’s return home and the downtime he spent with his family prior to facing Swedish opponent Otto Wallin.

What Is Tommy’s Professional Boxing Record

While many Love Island fans may know that Fury is a professional boxer in the light heavyweight division, they may be unaware of his official pugilistic record. According to BoxRec, Fury is currently 7-0 in professional boxing matches, recording four wins by knockout and three by judges’ decision.

Fury made his pro boxing debut in Manchester in December of 2018, besting Latvian opponent Jevgenijs Andrejevs by outscoring him on points. To date, Fury has never gone longer than four rounds in any single pro boxing bout.

Tommy Fury Fought On A Jake Paul Undercard

Speaking of Fury’s professional fighting record, fans may not realize that he shared a boxing card with Jake Paul during one of the social media star’s promotional boxing stunts. On Aug. 29, 2021, Fury fought during the same event that saw Paul defeat Tyron Woodley in a split decision (per The Independent).

As for Fury, he notched his seventh career victory by defeating American fighter Anthony Taylor in a four-round bout that resulted in a unanimous decision. Given Fury’s domination in the fight, a rematch is not expected.

Is Tommy Still Together With Molly-Mae?

Love Island fans who haven’t been keeping up will be pleased to know that Tommy and Molly-Mae are still together and celebrated their two-year anniversary in July 2021. According to Cosmopolitan, the two have been living together since the summer of 2020, and they are considering starting a family.

Despite the challenges the global COVID-19 pandemic and mandatory lockdown presented, Tommy and Molly-Mae persisted through it all and are currently going stronger than ever. In fact, they’re the only couple from Love Island season 5 that remains intact.

Tommy Fury Left His Former Flame To Be On Love Island

Although he met the love of his life in Molly-Mae on the popular reality dating show, Tommy actually was in a committed relationship with social media influencer Millie Roberts before he joined Love Island. Roberts told The Sun, “It’s mad what fame and money can do to people, try to act like the whole relationship was nothing. But okay Tommy, you do you.”

Tommy never mentioned Millie during his time on Love Island and immediately fell for Molly-Mae on her first day in the villa. Fortunately, Tommy has no regrets about how things turned out, as he and Molly-Mae became one of the all-time best Love Island couples.

Tommy Starred In A Reality Show With Curtis

Fans of Love Island season 5 know full well that Tommy’s best friend inside the villa was professional dancer Curtis Pritchard. Their bond was anything but phony, as evidenced in their mutual reality spinoff show The Boxer and The Ballroom Dancer, which aired on ITV in December of 2019.

The hilarious conceit of the show forces the two charming lads and Love Island friends to swap occupations, turning Tommy into a ballroom dancer and Curtis into a boxer. The show not only reinforces the genuine bond between the two best friends but also provides insight into the dedication and sacrifice it takes to be an athlete competing at the highest level.

What Is Tommy Fury’s Boxing Nickname?

Unless fans have been following Tommy’s boxing career extremely closely, they may not realize that he has an explosive nickname inside the ring. While his heavyweight champion brother Tyson is nicknamed the Gypsy King, Tommy goes by the moniker TNT (per Players Bio).

TNT technically stands for trinitrotoluene, a highly flammable and combustible substance that is the main ingredient in dynamite. But in this case, TNT refers to the punching power Tommy possesses, which can knock out most opponents with a single blow, something Tommy has done four times in his career.

Tommy Has His Own Fashion Line

Love Island and Tommy Fury fans may not realize the pro boxer has started his own fashion line for booohooMAN. The clothing brand specializes in activewear, with Tommy designing his custom shiny red bubble jacket. According to Daily Hawker, Tommy calls the coat “practical and fashionable.”

According to The Sun, Fury signed a six-figure deal to become the new face of boohooMAN as soon as he left the villa in the summer of 2019. He continues to be a brand ambassador for the company to this day.

Tommy Has A Crush On A Famous Pop Star

Despite being smitten with Molly-Mae, Tommy wasn’t afraid to name his celebrity crush before entering the Love Island villa. According to Pop Buzz, Fury confessed to having a crush on pop star Ariana Grande.

Fury doubled down on his confession, telling the Daily Hawker, “Ariana Grande…that girl is fire!” when asked who his celebrity crush is. Oddly enough, he also claimed his type has blonde hair and blue eyes, which sounds more like Molly-Mae than Ariana.
