Tommy Fury says Molly-Mae was right to break up with him, 'I would have walked away too'
The boxer fought his hardest to win Hague back, which plays out onscreen in the BBC documentary Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury Tommy Fury has said he would have walked away like fiancée Molly-Mae Hague did at the height of his alcohol addiction, if the shoe was on the other foot. The mother of their daughter ended their relationship as Fury, who injured his hand, was downing 20 beers a day. After the fallout of the highly-publicised break-up, the 26-year-old boxer invited BBC cameras into his life for a documentary series Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury. When Yahoo UK asked Fury how he felt about his dad, John, telling Hague to leave him, he said: "What can I say? I mean, I probably would have walked away from me too. It was at that stage, and it was tough. But like I say, it was a tough moment in my life, and everything happens for a reason." He told Yahoo UK and other press: "I'm not happy that I went through that [the break-up], but I'm grateful for the lessons that I've learned, and I don't think I would have known half of what I know about myself if I never went through that. To go through that on a personal level is one thing, but then to go through that in front of the whole world. "I'm being looked at in a microscope and everyone's looking [at] exactly what you're doing in depth, and I'm doing this in front of the whole world. It adds a new pressure, but I've definitely learned things about myself that I would have never found out, so I'm grateful for the life lessons that I've learned." With Hague and their two-year-old daughter Bambi gone, Fury only had himself for company in the £5m mansion that was meant to be their new family home; Hague hasn't said if she's living there full-time yet. "When you're in a big house all by yourself, you think about a lot of things and you wish you could never go down that road," he said. "But it's happened, and then it's not about dwelling on a problem or looking at a problem, it's like OK, it's happened. Let's get back on it." Fighting untrue stories Fighter Fury weathered a media storm and trial by social media when he was forced to publicly deny that he had cheated on the love of his life. When Yahoo UK asked how he proved his innocence when stories were untrue, he said: "I don't have to [prove my innocence]. I don't have to go around shouting from the rooftops because it's all b********. That's why I never spoke out about anything like that because it's all b*******. "And to be quite honest with you, I don't get involved in anything like that. I live my life for me, let all the b******** carry on, as long as my family and myself and Jesus know who I am, I don't care about it." One of the worst untrue stories that emerged from TikTok accused Fury of getting another woman pregnant. Winning Molly-Mae Hague back Determined not to be defeated, the boxer fought his hardest to win Hague back, which plays out onscreen in the documentary. "Tune in on 19 August and you'll see all that," he said. Cameras have been following their romance since they were 20 years old and fell for each other in the Mallorcan villa on Love Island in 2019. Their break-up was headline news everywhere last August after five years together. After reconciling, Fury said the former Love Island couple are in the "happiest place possible". This time, however, they want to do things differently. "At the end of the day, like I said in multiple other interviews, mine and Molly's life now is private," he said. Fury praised Hague for being the best mother in the world. He said, "I couldn't have picked a better mother for Bambi than Molly. She's absolutely fantastic. She's the best mum in the world. She juggles an awful lot, and she's always there, and she's the best mother that I could have picked." Their two-year-old daughter, Bambi, stars alongside her famous parents in both BBC's Tommy: The Good, The Bad and The Fury as well as Prime Video's Molly-Mae: Behind It All. Fatherhood as a Fury In one sweet moment in the documentary, Fury and Bambi play hide and seek, capturing their close bond. "I didn't know how I was gonna take fatherhood," he said. "I'm a young kid at 23 when she's born, and there's a lot going on. But as soon as she was born and I held her in my hands, nothing else mattered." Fury's only goal for the future is to be a good dad, and he would "love" to have more children. "That's my only dream now [to succeed as a father]," he said. "And I think that that overshadows the rest of it by a mile. If I can succeed at being a father, and my kids can grow up saying, 'Do you know what, my dad was there for me, I'm proud of my dad, and I love the man he is.' "That'll make me happier than any money or any accolades, that's the only accolade I want now. I've achieved everything else that I wanted to. Just being a good father." While fatherhood is very much his focus, Fury admitted he won't quit boxing because he's got to keep up with paying Bambi's ballet lessons. "All the money I'm getting for fights and deals, that's not spent on me, that's spent on providing and giving my daughter and future kids the best life I can give them," he said. Advice to his younger self Fury was only young when he was propelled into the bright lights of fame on Love Island, having had one of the most successful relationships in the show's history. At 20 years old, the boxer's decision to star on the show changed his life forever. If he could give his younger self advice, he said, "I would say be ready for everything that's thrown at you." He added, "Because I come from a completely normal family. People might not know that, obviously, for looking at Tyson [Fury], they might think things are different and all that sort of stuff, but it really wasn't for me. "I grew up so normal, like every other kid, and I've really had to adjust to all this on the road. I've had to learn as I go. I've had no pre-rituals, people telling me instructions and this, I've had none of that. I think I've gone about things and I've dealt with it as a man, good or bad, I've dealt with it and I've got past it. "And that's it. I would just say be ready for anything, because things are gonna come at you in life that you would never expect, and I would have never expected that year from the year prior. I have everything in life that I've ever dreamed of being that 10-year-old kid, and I'm so thankful to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ every single day because he's giving me everything."

Roman army descends on village for festival
A recreated Roman army has marched on a quiet Cotswolds village - as part of a new festival celebrating the history of the area. Sunday morning saw the first ever Birdlip Roman Festival transform the village, with historical costumes and displays put on show by enthusiasts. Gloucestershire's Roman heritage was also on display, with archaeological activities put on by a number of organisations including the Museum of Gloucester and Coronium Museum. Festivalgoer Martin Smith told the BBC he was "super excited" about the event, adding: "I like [learning about] their day-to-day life and learning how they would have lived in this landscape during the period." Fellow attendee Kate Peake, who visited with her daughter and her mother Angela - who made her costume - said it was "brilliant" to have a Roman festival in the area. "We live just down the road, we love history and we thought we'd dress up to come and visit today," she added. Re-enactment group the Ermine Street Guard took a starring role in Sunday's festival, marching through the village in authentically recreated military wear. The area boasts a rich Roman history, with the ancient civilisation making Gloucester a key site for its empire, and many important archaeological finds have been uncovered throughout the years. Hundreds of people attended the festival, with a number of stalls selling local products, antiques and food also forming part of the event. As well as local museums putting on displays, Cotswold Archaeology and Chedworth Roman Villa were also on site with family-friendly activities.

Anthony Mackie on Filming 'Avengers: Doomsday' in London: 'A Lot of Sheep...It's Crazy'
Anthony Mackie gave fans a much-anticipated update on the state of filming for the 2026 movie Avengers: Doomsday. However, it was his comments about London, where filming is taking place, that may have taken the cake. During an interview with ScreenRant, Mackie was asked where things stand with filming and if it was close to wrapping. Not surprisingly, the Captain America actor kicked things off there by letting fans know they aren't even close to the final stretch of filming. Anthony Mackie Gives 'Avengers: Doomsday' Update, Also Can't Believe London's 'Crazy' Amount of Sheep If you thought that an Avengers: Doomsday filming update would never land in the same conversation as London's apparent overload of sheep, think again. While Mackie responded to the question of whether the Marvel film is close to wrapping with a blunt, "Absolutely no, hell no" response, he expanded a bit from there. "We're in the midst of such a big moving set piece, and it's such a big story," Mackie said. "Shooting a Marvel movie, the best part is it's always an ever-evolving canvas. There are those staple pieces, then there are the pieces that kind of circulate throughout the course of the it's going well." Mackie then proceeded to dive into how things are in London, by first stating that "London is so that's a thing." The Marvel star quickly shifted to his surprise at finding out how many sheep London has, and his priceless reaction was my favorite part of the clip, personally. "A lot of sheep. Who knew there were so many sheep in London?!" Mackie said. "There's a lot of sheep...a lot of sheep. It's crazy." To Mackie's credit, it's fair to assume he's logging heavy hours on the set for Avengers: Doomsday, so maybe he's just taking time to enjoy the small things around London—like the sheep. Marvel Yet to Address Several Unanswered Questions About 'Avengers: Doomsday' There's no shortage of excitement around Marvel's latest addition to the Avengers series, but there are many unanswered questions fans hope to get answers to. When Marvel unveiled the cast of Avengers: Doomsday on a roughly 5-6 hour live stream, speculation began that the entire list of names wasn't released. That belief was proven correct later, but Marvel still hasn't confirmed the full, lengthy list of names that'll appear. Among the specific names referenced frequently is a star currently filming his own superhero movie—Tom Holland and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland's name wasn't listed on the initial cast release for Avengers: Doomsday, and little information has been provided by Marvel thus far. There's still plenty of time to speculate on names and possible superhero cameos in the new film, as Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on Dec. 18, Mackie on Filming 'Avengers: Doomsday' in London: 'A Lot of Crazy' first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 7, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
