Molly-Mae Hague refuses to watch Tommy Fury fight, then breaks down in tears as he wins

Molly-Mae Hague was left overcome with emotion as she learned that boyfriend Tommy Fury had defeated YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia on Sunday night.

The new mum, 23, chose not to watch the highly anticipated fight and decided to stay in her room with daughter Bambi while her sister Zoe, closest friends Maura Higgins and Stephanie Lam screened it from her living room.

As soon as the result was announced, they ran into her room to tell her the joyous news as she was feeding baby Bambi.

Capturing it on Zoe’s Instagram Story, the former Love Island star broke down as they all celebrated and jumped around her room.

After his win by a split decision, a tearful Fury, 23, dedicated the win to Hague and their newborn baby daughter.

He said: “I want to dedicate this fight to my new baby girl Bambi at home and my Mrs, I love you.”

Earlier in the night, the former reality TV star also paid tribute to his little one as he walked into the ring wearing a robe bearing her name on it.

Fury, who is the younger brother of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, welcomed his first child with his reality star partner Hague last month.

As he walked out to the boxing ring, he was seen lifting the embroidered area of his robe to his face and kissing his daughter’s name, which was surrounded by diamante blue butterflies.

Fury’s brother Tyson and father John were both in attendance during the fight at the Diriyah Arena.

The white hoodies worn by Fury’s team, including his father, featured logos belonging to a variety of sponsors including Hague’s fake tan brand, Filter By Molly-Mae.

Ahead of the eight-round fight, Hague – who did not travel to Saudi Arabia for the event – posted on her Instagram story wishing Fury luck.

Alongside a screen shot of a video call with Fury, Hague, who could be seen holding her daughter, wrote: “Calls with dadda.

“Tonight is YOUR night. Get the job done and get home my boy. We are so beyond proud of you. Your team forever.”
