Tommy Fury’s Professional Life
Tommy Fury kick-started his professional boxing career when he faced Jevgenijs Andrejevs in the ring. The bout took place on 22 December 2018 and Tommy emerged victorious.
After winning his second fight, he paused his boxing career for nine months during which he was working for a reality television show. On the sets of Love Island, each contestant was paid around £250 weekly.
Following that he returned to the ring and fought seven more times as of early 2023. He ended up being crowned as the winner each time. This made him a pro-boxer, and one of the reasons why Jake Paul wanted him to fight; as people regarded him as a real boxer in contrast to the MMA fighters, with whom Paul had wrestled throughout his career till now.
Soon after Tommy’s appearance on Love Island, he received several endorsement offers which contributed significantly to his £1 million net worth. Recently, he received £3,000 from multiple endorsements.
Molly-Mae runs a brand, Pretty Little Things, besides making a significant amount from her Instagram posts. Like Tommy, she also earns more from endorsements.
Tommy Fury vs. Jake Paul
Jake Paul, the 25-year-old American is a professional boxer and was a YouTuber prior to his boxing career. A boxing contest was scheduled for December 18, 2021, between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul.
What actually happened was that it got viral all over social media that Tommy Fury had been badly infected during his training camp. Later Fury announced about his broken rib, which according to him happened at the gym.
Regardless of the fact that he shared his X-Rays, Jake Paul did not consider it and claimed that Fury is stepping back from the ring. He objected and announced on Twitter on 6th December 2021 that Tommy had withdrawn himself due to a medical issue and that Paul would have a rematch with Tyron Woodley on the same date.
Since that day there has been a feud between the two boxers. Though they both have excelled in their careers without a single loss in any matches played.
On 22 June 2022 Jake Paul took to his Twitter and gave an ultimatum to Fury to respond within 24 hours about the fight. Paul also wrote that he had fulfilled all of his demands which included $2 million in the purse. The following day, Fury retweeted and chose 6th August 2022 to be the match day.
Later Jake Paul confirmed the venue to be Madison Square Garden, New York. However, soon after that, Tommy shared the hurdles he is facing on his way to the U.S due to his ESTA documents. It was quite shocking for Paul who addressed that there is no proof whether he really arrived at the airport and faced problems. He put a light on the fact that regardless of being a popular boxer and TV personality Fury had no pictures with fans or at the airport. Jake also took notice of Fury’s then-recent visit to Los Angeles.
According to the New York Times, the fight has been officially canceled, and Paul will fight Hasim Rahman Jr. on the scheduled date and venue. However, it’s true that Tommy is facing problems entering the U.S due to family connections with Daniel Kinahan, a drug trafficker.
