Tommy Fury has confessed that he wouldn't want his daughter to follow in his footsteps and appear on Love Island.Theprofessional boxer shared his thoughts on the idea of Bambi, two, growing up to take the same route for finding love as her parents.

Tommy and her influencer mum Molly-Mae Hague famously met on the hit ITV reality dating show in 2019 but that doesn't mean he is open to the idea of Bambi appearing in the future.

Asked how he'd feel if Bambi went on Love Island, he told the Telegraph magazine: "Oh, that’s a good question. I don’t even want to think about that... “I’d do my f***ing best [to stop her]! I don’t know. I don’t know! I’ll support her through anything.”

Tommy, 26, also appeared reluctant to see Bambi follow him into boxing as he dismissed the idea of that entirely. He said: “No. She’s too pretty to be a boxer. I’m going to take the black eyes and the broken ribs and the broken hands, so she doesn’t have to.”

Despite splitting up for a brief period in August 2024 Tommy and Molly-Mae are now back together and progressing with their relationship and expanding their family to give Bambi some siblings is a high priority for Tommy as he hopes to one day have a large family.

He said: “I’d love to give Bambi a sibling.” Tommy was then asked how many children he would like to have to which he joked: "Forty. He then added: “Me and Molly have had private conversations. I don’t think she’s quite on track for 40... Obviously, I’m not the one giving birth.

"But all I ever wanted to do from when I was a young boy, I just wanted to have a family and do my boxing and look after them. My family is everything. I don’t care what happens in my life. I don’t care if boxing goes. Because if it were to happen again, I’ve got my family.”

Tommy also opened up about his relationship with Molly-Mae, admitting it was love at first sight for him when she entered the villa and invited him on a date as a Love Island bombshell.

He said: "As soon as I saw her, it was game over. She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. Inside and out. She is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

“She probably thought, ‘Who is this guy? What is he doing near me?’ I think if I was going on a date with myself, I’d be a bit like that.”

Tommy then confessed that he only signed up to appear on Love Island because he wanted a free holiday. He said: "My fight had got cancelled. I could do with a holiday. I haven’t got money to go. Don’t forget — I’m not Bill Gates’s son. I don’t come from millions of pounds.”
