Boxer Tommy Fury has dedicated his boxing victory to his and Molly-Mae Hague’s newborn son, Midas.

The former Love Island star, 27, revealed their son’s name, which was spelled out on the back of his shirt and boxing shorts, during his fight against the former world’s strongest man, Eddie Hall, on Saturday night.

The pair welcomed their second child, alongside their daughter Bambi, earlier this month with Hague, 27, attending the fight at Manchester’s AO Arena.

Fury, who secured a majority decision victory against Hall said: “This was for my new baby boy, Midas.

“It is another Fury, it’s another boy.

“I’ve fought a lot of people, and this guy can fight. He’s not slow, he’s fit. Thank you for taking the fight and thank you for a great night in Manchester.”

Fury was supported ringside by his half-brother, heavyweight star, Tyson Fury who was returning to the ring for the first time in over a year.

The couple met on the fifth series of the ITV dating show in 2019 and came runners up.

They remained together after the show and were engaged until they split up in August 2024.

The pair rekindled their relationship and confirmed they were back together in May last year.

Since being on Love Island, Fury has grown his social media following to 5.1 million on Instagram while Hague has amassed 8.6 million Instagram followers.

In 2019 she launched the self-tanning brand, Filter by Molly-Mae and in 2024 started her own clothing brand, Maebe.

The couple have also appeared in Netflix documentary At Home With The Furys, which looks at Fury’s family, which includes boxer Tyson Fury, while Hague’s life was the subject of Prime Video series Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
