Who is Tommy Fury: Life before and after Love Island

Tommy Fury is well known after his stint on Love Island despite narrowly missing out on the crown.

He was originally known for his links to famous boxer half-brother Tyson Fury, but now Tommy has made a name for himself.

During the show in 2019 he sent shockwaves through the villa as he had women falling at his feel but he stuck with Molly-Mae Hague through thick and thin.

The pair are still together to this day, sharing a luxurious pad in Cheshire, and are often seen jetting off to exotic locations together.

They regularly post cute snaps of each other on Instagram alongside multiple brand deals.

But what did Tommy do before Love Island and what exactly does he do now?

Life before Love Island -

Tommy was born in Manchester on May 7 1999, making him now 22.

He was always interested in boxing but began to take the sport seriously when he was just 12 years old.

He started his professional career at 19 as a light-heavyweight boxer.

Tommy made his profession debut in 2018 against Jevgenijs Andrejevs at the Manchester Arena where he won.

Love Island

Tommy entered the Love Island villa with fellow contestant Curtis Pritchard and quickly caught the eyes of the other girls in the villa.

At first Tommy coupled up with Lucie Donlan despite her being coupled up with Joe Garratt at the time.

However, they didn't last as when Molly-Mae entered the villa Tommy's affections quickly turned to her.

There was a slight hiccup when Maura Higgins entered but Tommy and Molly-Mae stayed strong.

The pair went on to come second in the show, narrowly missing out to Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.

Life after the villa

Tommy has been hugely successful after leaving the Love Island villa.

He often posts brand deals on his Instagram page collaborating with the likes of Aldi, the Gym Group and more.

Tommy has also returned to boxing and won his most recent fight.

He also flew overseas to America to train with his professional boxer brother Tyson Fury.
