Just a week after the birth of his second child, Tommy Fury has slept away from the home he shares with Molly-Mae Hague and their children, opting for a caravan in a car park instead. The move is said to be part of his training for his fight with Eddie Hall.
The boxer is set to face the former World's Strongest Man on Saturday 13 June at the AO Arena in Manchester, which is less than an hour from his and Molly-Mae's £5 million Cheshire mansion. Despite the close proximity to home, he has chosen to sleep in a caravan that is parked in a car park in Knutsford.
A video posted to YouTube by Misfits Boxing, who are promoting the fight, gave fans an insight into his sleeping arrangement. In the clip, Tommy said: "Welcome to home away from home." The Love Island star gave the camera a quick tour of the space, which was complete with a bed, shower, bathroom, microwave, cooker, fridge, freezer and a TV. Tommy said: "Ah, look at that. How much more do you want? Clean, fresh air. No people. Nothing. Just birds. That's what it's about, isn't it, training camp. Eat, sleep, train, repeat."
Despite claiming that he did not want to be around people, the dad-of-two did admit to using his father John's toilet, as he had a cabin just over the road. He explained: "There's two things I don't do in here and that's use the cooker and do a s**t in the toilet because, I'm not being funny, I'm not laying logs in there and I'm not eating my dinner here. Do you know what I mean? That's why we've got my dad's cabin there." He also insisted that his caravan wasn't just there for the cameras. One of the camera men asked if he would be running away after they stopped filming, but Tommy said no, asking: "What more do you need?"
The move comes just a week after Tommy's second child with Molly-Mae was born. The two already have a daughter called Bambi, but welcomed a son earlier this month. By the time the boy was born, Tommy had already moved away for training camp. In the video, he explained his decision not to head home after the birth, saying: "I think a fighter needs to be hungry and when I'm at home, I think 'What do I need to fight for?'" He added: "I've been there but at the end of the day, my duties properly start after the fight. All the late-night stuff will come the fight. I've got an amazing partner back home and she understands the job ahead and I'm focused on that job. I'll get the job done on Saturday and return home to change some s***ty nappies."
