Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague have announced the name of their newborn son in style. The name Midas was emblazoned on Fury's fight kit as he walked to the ring to take on former World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall in Manchester.
The Meaning Behind Midas
Midas refers to a legendary king of Phrygia from Greek mythology who was granted the wish that everything he touched turn to gold. In Greek and Roman legend, King Midas is famous for his foolishness and greed. After performing a favor for the god Dionysus, he was granted any wish and chose the ability to turn everything into gold. He quickly realized the curse of this gift when he accidentally turned his food, drink, and even his daughter to gold.
This myth gave rise to the common phrase "the Midas touch," which describes someone who is exceptionally successful or profitable in their endeavors.
Family Background
Fury and Hague, who met on the ITV dating show Love Island, had their first daughter Bambi in January 2023. Hague announced she was pregnant with their second child in February. On Wednesday, the pair revealed the news in a joint Instagram post featuring the trio admiring the new member of their family in a black and white photograph.
Molly-Mae was spotted backstage, mere days after giving birth to the couple's second child.
Fight Night Success
It was a great night for Tommy, not only from a personal perspective but from a professional stance as he controversially outpointed giant strongman Eddie Hall, with fans left furious at the result.
