Controversy
The pro boxer was due to fight American Youtuber Jake Paul on two occasions already.
Tyson Fury’s younger brother was first set to come to blows with the social media star in December 2021 but was forced to pull out because of a chest infection and broken rib.
Then, in 2022 he was embroiled in further drama after he faced visa issues and he was denied interest to the US. Jake turned around attacked Tommy’s credibility alleging that he just ‘wasn’t interested’ and ‘literally went into hiding‘.
The rivalry flared up again in January 2023 with Jake egging Tommy on to set a new date and even saying that there were no excuses anymore as his baby had been born. At the time neither Tommy or Molly-Mae had made an announcement.
The pair were left shaken after their €1million Manchester apartment was broken into by an ‘experienced gang‘.
The thieves lifted more than €947,000 (£800,000) worth of belongings, leaving the luxury home almost completely bare.
A source said soon after that the reality TV couple would never go back to that property
