Tommy Fury, 22, has opened up about his mental health and the reaction to his cancelled fight.
The former Love Island star had been due to take on Jake Paul in the boxing ring earlier this month, but was forced to withdrew from the December 18 clash - citing a bacterial infection and a broken rib as his reason for doing so.
Following the highly anticipated fight being axed, Molly-Mae Hague's boyfriend has been subjected to some cruel taunts from strangers and "fickle" friends.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday night, the boxer was open and honest with his millions of followers during a candid catch up.
Admitting he had been away from social media due to focusing all his time and energy into his recovery, Tommy straight away answered the many questions submitted surrounding the axed fight.
The reality TV star then confessed to his online fans that he been feeling "pretty low" mentally.
"Mentally, I've been feeling pretty low. I'm not going to hide it from you guys," Tommy admitted when asked how he was by one follower.
"It's a major setback that's happened for me. At the end of the day, it's the first time I've been on the opposite side."
The star then went on to explain how he has noticed a chance in attitude from some people following his recent career blip.
"I've been there when everyone is asking how you are, and can't get enough of you, but then when you have a setback, it's so crazy to that everybody texting you a million times a day - asking about the fight and training - and something like this happens, just seeing that side of people where they can literally text you saying: 'You're p***y, you're a s***house, you're not a fighter and you've never been any good'."
"It's literally like tossing a coin."
He added: "It's been pretty tough to deal with."
Despite such a knock-back, Tommy reassured his fans he's "mentally tough" and is looking forward to the future.
"I'm a mentally tough person and it will never get me down but it's been crazy to see how fickle some people can be."
"Going through something like this really does show who you've got around you, and that's just what it is, but we're over that side now and it's on to the next."
Tommy then went on to pay tribute to girlfriend Molly, who has been his "rock" during his recovery.
When one follower asked the star had he and his influencer beau had split, the boxer replied with a picture that said a thousand words.
In the snap, Molly can be seen in the couple's bed - with her beloved stuffed teddy Ellie Belly covering her face.
"WIFE," Tommy simply captioned the image, answering the misinformed fan's question.
