Doting mum Molly, 23, added: ‘The pressure that was on this boy’s shoulders. I will never ever know how he dealt with it. Never been more proud of anyone in my life. Come home to us our champ.’
Molly posted one photo of Tommy, also 23, in the ring and another of him planting a kiss on her lips while she cradled little Bambi.

Having scored his victory in a split decision after the heated clash, he said: ‘For the past two and a half years, this is all that’s consumed my life. Broke rib, denied access, and everybody thought I was running scared.
‘Tonight, I made my own legacy. I am Tommy Fury.’
He continued: ‘I want to dedicate this fight to my new baby girl Bambi at home and my Mrs, I love you. I can’t wait to see you.
‘This fight was for you. It’s for you Bambi, I love you.’

Tommy went on to explain how over the past two and a half years, he had a ‘dream’ and a ‘vision’ that he would win the fight, but ‘no one believed me’.
‘Now I can stand up and everybody can take note. In my first main event, 23 years old, I had the world on me, I had pressure on my shoulders and I came through,’ he stated.
The fighter explained that he viewed his clash with Jake as a ‘world title’ bout, before addressing his opponent’s ‘rematch clause’ and potential desire to face him again in the ring.
Tommy promised that he would ‘100%’ be up for a rematch, promising that he’s ‘only going to go stronger’, ‘bigger’ and ‘better’, adding: ‘If he wants a rematch, bring it on.’
While Jake expressed his ‘respect’ for Tommy in his own post-match interview, he added that he wasn’t sure that he agreed with the final decision, while being booed by the crowd.
