Tommy Fury is scheduled to face Eddie Hall in Manchester on June 13, a day after Molly-Mae Hague’s due date, and the timing has put his next fight at the centre of another family row.
For Hague, the date is not just a boxing booking. It falls inside the narrow window around the expected arrival of the couple’s second child, and she has already said Fury’s return to the ring after Bambi was born left her shaken. She said the first four weeks of Bambi’s life were spent by her alone at home with her daughter, adding that the experience left her with a form of trauma she still feels when she looks back on it.
That is why the June 13 bout is landing so heavily now. Hague had been expecting baby number two next month, and she previously described watching Fury fight Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia in 2023 while Bambi was still a newborn as something that sent shivers down her spine. Fury won that fight, but the memory of what followed appears to matter more to her than the result.
The concern is not only emotional. Family members are reported to be unhappy that Fury has lined up another bout so close to the due date, even though the couple are not short of money and Fury’s finances appear substantial. Company filings for Tommy Fury TNT Limited showed assets rising from £361,767 in 2023 to £9.49million the following year, while Companies House accounts put capital and reserves at more than £6.1million over the same period. He has also reportedly been earning £16,429 a day through boxing and endorsement deals since the Jake Paul fight.
That creates the contradiction at the heart of this fight: the bout is not being driven by financial desperation, yet it still comes as Hague is preparing to give birth and her side of the family is said to be unhappy about the timing. Fury and Hague, who met on Love Island, have built a public life around this relationship, but the calendar is now doing what publicity never can — forcing a choice between the ring and home. If the June 13 fight goes ahead as scheduled, the key question is not whether Fury can take the bout. It is whether he will be there for the birth, or arrive just after it.
