Tommy Fury admits life has been 'horrible' despite Molly-Mae reunion: 'Torture'
Fury has recently reignited his romance with Molly-Mae Hague and the couple are presently basking in the sunshine in Turkey during their latest family getaway. The duo have been posting endless snapshots of their time away with little Bambi.
This occasion is vastly different from their previous overseas trip.
This follows after Molly-Mae kept Fury absent from photographs as she tried to hide the fact that she had rekindled her relationship with the boxer after a temporary separation last year. Whilst the British boxing champion is currently relishing some downtime with his family, it seems that all might not be as it appears.
In a recent preview for "Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury" - which is scheduled to arrive on BBC iPlayer on August 19, the 26-year-old can be seen having a conversation with his father, John Fury, confessing that he has found it difficult venturing out publicly, reports the Mirror.
"My life has been absolute torture for the past six months. Horrible. Going out in public, getting screamed at. And when you go out in public and someone says something, what are you meant to do? Tip your head and f****** walk on? The reason why, you know all of this is here, is because of social media.
"And it is because you have a profile, and it is because people are interested in you. If you did not, you would be f*****. You would not earn a penny. So it is tough."
Prior to his comeback to the ring in May, Fury disclosed he was experiencing the finest year of his life following his struggle with the breakdown of his relationship with Molly-Mae and descending into a "dark place" due to a hand injury.
"Being in a position where boxing is everything, the fact that I couldn't do that or get out of bed in the morning and did what made me happy, I just thought, 'Sod it all.' You go down that dark route for a few weeks and you end up staying down there for a long time and that has consequences," he said.
"Like I said, 2024 was the worst year of my life and this year is going to be the best year of my life. It starts on Friday, I've turned it all around. I'm happy mentally now. I feel like you've got to go through these challenges in life, everyone's got a hard life so it's all about that I've come through this."
'TNT' secured a commanding points victory against Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest, Hungary in May during his first bout in almost two years.
Shortly following Fury's triumph, the Brit's rival, Jake Paul, told Ariel Helwani that he had shown interest in a rematch and claimed he had even been in contact with Fury's older brother. "I think the Fury fight will happen in the next 12 months, yeah. He just has to be realistic about what's he's worth, right?" he said.
"He just had a free fight on DAZN that tanked, couldn't sell the tickets in wherever he was like a 1,000 person venue and he's just negotiating like he's God. Again, I have ten names waiting to fight me in multiple different sports, MMA, boxing, all this stuff. These people just have to be realistic about what they're wanting to get paid and Tommy Fury isn't."
Paul also disclosed he messaged the 'Gypsy King' directly regarding the matter. "But I DM'd Tyson Fury because Tyson was like, 'You guys need to make this happen now.' I was like, 'Tyson, you've got to put your brother in check here. He's not going to get this money or this offer anywhere else.
"He already missed out on the massive opportunity on Netflix, his dad, who is his manager has no idea what the f*** he's doing and you can't let your dad run your career. Tommy's not his own boss, he's an airhead as well so I just feel bad for him because he thinks he's worth more than what he's worth." When is Tommy Fury's next fight?
After his triumph over Hanjalic, Fury wasted no time in challenging Paul during his post-fight interview, bellowing: "Jake Paul's a b**** and he's running scared. Hey Jake, the hand is fixed now baby, the hand is fixed. I fought a guy in here tonight who's had more than 100 amateur fights, an experienced hitter and he's as tough as teeth.
"If Jake Paul wants to step inside the ring, I guarantee next time, I will knock you spark out. I've had two years out the ring, this is after two years, I'll knock that bum out whenever he wants it."
The duo have subsequently discussed a possible rematch.
It seems probable that Fury might compete once more this year before facing the American, though nothing has been finalised.
Both Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk could complicate matters after reports emerged that the pair are in separate talks to take on the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Things for teens to do in Dublin city centre during the holidays
We're past the halfway point of the school summer holidays and boredom is setting in. The annual sun getaway abroad is behind many of us and most parents have to work full-time. Kids can do summer camps, but teens can be tricky - and costly - to keep entertained. These spirited youngsters want to do stuff on their own, which is handy; but it's also nice to join them occasionally, when time allows. Surprisingly, one of the best places for family activities to suit teens is Dublin city centre. With a number of new attractions, it's become a teen-friendly capital. It's now home to some brand-new top entertainment options. These attractions - all opened this year - have positioned Dublin as a great city for family fun. I went out with my son Luc, 15, and his pals, to try them out. Here's what we thought of them. (L-R Sarah Clancy, CEO Little Museum of Dublin, Mary Stack of Fáilte Ireland, Emma Blain, Lord Mayor and First Citizen of Dublin) Little Museum of Dublin The capital's quirkiest museum has just re-opened after a €4million renovation that took a year to complete. It's a new-look, modernised refit that brings the museum - located in a Georgian mansion on iconic St Stephen's Green - into the 21st century. However it has retained its ethos as a 'hospitable, historic and humorous welcome to Dublin.' Visitors are first brought into a special screening room for a fully immersive introduction video, which features a cheeky Molly Malone. The tour is a crash course in Dublin history, carried out with wit, wisdom, eccentricity and charm. It's an educational and entertaining activity for teens - a bit wacky and never boring. The tour is less than an hour, moves at pace and is easy to grasp, and explanations like how Dublin went from "Irish village, to Viking Town, to English city, to proud European capital." There's plenty of humour, and the teens were delighted by effervescent young guide Saul, a world-famous Irish dancer who treated us to a jig around the room. It's highly cultural, with plenty of mentions of some of the city's most impressive figures such as Brendan Behan, Oscar Wilde, Maureen O'Hara and Bono. It also reveals lesser-known tales of the city, such as how both the British and Irish sides in the 1916 Rising agreed to a ceasefire every day to allow the ducks to be fed in Stephen's Green. This one will amuse young culture vultures. I enjoyed the nostalgia of artefacts from the recent past, such as Callcards and Dublin Millennium milk bottles. Family tickets are €45; student entry is €16. Lane7 Stepping into Lane7 on Dublin's Clarendon Row is like stepping back into the 1980s. This is a bowling and gaming venue with a retro vibe, which the younger gang seem to find amusing. For me, it's nostalgia - for them, it's 'Leisureplex, but 80s' as they deemed it. Lane7 is far more swish than Leisureplex and is definitely set up for a night out, or a place to bring a date, or just a cool hangout. It's all graffiti walls and neon lights and funky bar areas. All the old-skool games are here, and many have an American flavour. There's a slick bowling lane, a photo booth called the Kissing Booth, and beer pong. There's also darts, which was the biggest hit with this competitive bunch, and it's interactive, so the board does the 'math' for you. Classic arcade games include Space Invaders and you can also shoot hoops in a basketball toss game or play ice hockey on a board. The bar serves food and drink - with a large cocktail menu - but has a very strict age policy for alcohol, so no worries there for younger visitors. The Dundrum venue is bigger and has more games such as pool and shuffleboard, but to have a place like this to go in the city centre is special. A great, budget-friendly place for young people to meet friends and have fun and more social teens in particular will love it. World of Illusion Dublin World of Illusion This is a place for young scientists, or those with curious minds. A trip to the World of Illusion at Dublin's Central Plaza will leave you fascinated by how our perceptions of the world can be changed by our environment - light, colour, patterns and movement. Up to 70 visual illusions and interactive exhibitions are here to experience, and some of them are mind-blowing. We all loved the Vortex Tunnel, which is simply a static bridge in a dark room. However, add swirling lights and it creates the illusion of movement. So those crossing it feel like they're being thrown about, even though nothing is moving. The infinity mirrors in the Infinity Room is mesmerising: you're in a room the size of a large cupboard, but it feels like it goes on forever. The large kaleidoscope allows you to see your face as a kaleidoscopic pattern, while in the Ames room, you appear to change size, depending on what position you're standing in. The gravity-defying exhibition makes it appear as though you're being blown vertically in the wind, while the head-on-a-platter installation makes it appear as though you're about to be eaten for dinner. The entire visit to the World of Illusion takes no more than an hour and a half, and there is plenty of wonder to discuss afterwards. Student entry is €18.70, while a family ticket is €63.75. For more information, see Sandbox VR It's amazing that a VR venue of such a size is in the city centre. Usually they're far out in the suburbs, involving a hike through traffic, so it's really convenient for it to be so accessible. But Sandbox is another level. It's not just some warehouse where you go to shoot up zombies, this is a social day out in the world's most advanced virtual reality experience. We played Red Light Green Light, based on the Netflix hit Squid Game, and it's all so hyper-real, it feels like you're inside the game. Teens who love tech and gaming adore this place. We were kitted out with the most high-tech VR headsets, 3-D precision body trackers, custom hardware, sensors and haptic vests. All you could hear from the room was the screams and shouts of six teenagers having the time of their lives. They hadn't even left the building when they were planning their next trip back. One of the big draws is Toni, Ireland's first robotic bartender. After the game, players can head for the comfortable bar area for a few cocktails and mocktails. As we drank them, we got to watch footage of our game, showing us both in the real world and the VR alternative universe. With a total capacity of 150 people, Sandbox occupies 11,000 square feet of the new development, Grafton Place, at 39 Nassau Street, just steps away from Grafton Street. Prices vary from €30 to €50 per person, depending on whether the visit is peak or off-peak. Sandbox VR opens from 10am until 11pm to 12pm, seven days a week.

Strictly and BBC star Anita Rani spotted cosying up to mystery man at gig after split with husband of 14 years
The Sun's exclusive photos show Anita with the mystery man MOVING ON Strictly and BBC star Anita Rani spotted cosying up to mystery man at gig after split with husband of 14 years STRICTLY Come Dancing and BBC star Anita Rani has been spotted cosying up to a mystery man at a gig, after splitting from her husband of 14 years.

The couple tied the knot six months later in a three-day Indian wedding in 2009 which Anita had previously described as 'bonkers'. Now, the single star has been seen with a mystery man looking cosy, as they attended a gig. The TV star was seen watching Lankum and Mogwai at South Facing Festival in Crystal Palace park. The star rocked a casual look in a pink and red striped top and shorts, and was pictured walking besides a man in a denim top, appearing to hold hands. A source told The Sun: 'Anita and this bloke were clearly very close and more than just friends - she was wrapped around him in the VIP area then they walked off into the crowd together looking really happy.' Anita's rep had no comment when approached by The Sun. She had previously called being single 'uncharted territory' when the couple first split. With their busy work schedules said to be a contributing factor, she moved into her former London flat purchased 20 years prior. Anita Rani falls in love with property in Dungeness after marriage split At the time she was juggling a jam-packed work schedule, which included the launch of her debut novel, Baby Does A Runner, about a British Asian woman in search of her identity, in July 2023. When the news broke she told The Sun at the time: "It's liberating that people know that I'm single now." "Not everything works out. Things come to their natural conclusion. That is absolutely fine." She also said at the time that there was 'no shame' in being single and living your best life in your 40s. "There is light, and the light is good!" "I'm single. I'm child-free, I'm in my mid-40s and I have never felt better, sexier, more powerful or more excited about the future." She also told how she was paying attention to her own needs: "I'm just making sure I take time out to do things I want to do." "I'm very aware that, with the things I want to do in life, I'd quite like to do them now and not wait." "I kind of live by the mantra of 'life is too short'." She continued: "This is a new chapter in my life but I'm ready to open that book and see what's in store for me because the future is exciting." "My philosophy is 'the best is yet to come'."
