Boxer and reality star Tommy Fury was shut down by his father, John Fury, after he tried to open up about his recent ‘horrendous’ struggles
Tommy Fury’s dad, John, rolled his eyes and told him to ‘get a grip’ after the boxer complained about the last six months of his life before blaming social media for his woes. In a teaser clip for his new programme, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, the Love Island star was seen sitting in the living room with his dad discussing how ‘tough’ life has been for him in recent months.
In the programme that was filmed in the months after his shock break-up from Molly-Mae Hague and before they got back together, he said: “My life has been absolute torture for the past six months. Horrible. Going out in public, getting screamed at. Ad when you go out in public and someone says something, what are you meant to do?
“Tip your head and f**king walk on? The reason why, you know all of this is here, is because of social media.” It comes after Tyson Fury’s huge net worth is revealed as Morecambe face going out of business.

Tommy continued: “And it’s because you have a profile, and it’s because people are interested in you. If you didn’t, you’d be f**ked. You wouldn’t earn a penny. So it’s tough. It’s just been a constant.”
John was sitting close to him and was seen rolling his eyes as Tommy tried to open up about his struggles before the dad interrupted to say: “Yeah, it’s not tough,” with Tommy insisting: “It has, it’s been horrible.”
The reality star’s father told Tommy he was ‘in his head’ and the father-of-one claimed: “It’s been horrendous”. John had enough of Tommy’s self-pitying and asked his son: “Has anybody died? There’s no on dead, is there?
“Your baby’s healthy, you live in a nice house, you got a good car. You’re flying high. It’s your mind taking over you. Fuck ’em all! And live your life and enjoy what you’ve got. Or else you’ll never be happy.”
Tommy, who recently reunited with Molly-Mae, said he wasn’t bothered by anybody else’s opinions, adding: “I wanna know when I’m back in the ring and what the f**k direction my life’s taking.”
“Well, guess what? Every boxer in the world’s got this problem,” an increasingly fed-up John told his son, who was in denial and said: “No, they haven’t.”
John continued: “Of course they have. You take too much for granted. But I’m an old school kind of man. You’re never gonna learn from today’s people because they don’t know anything.”
When Tommy tried to argue that the times have changed, John added: “Well, you’re going to have a very unhappy life. Come on, man. Give it a break. You’re overthinking everything. Get a grip, know your worth, and march on forward. And we’re sat here, ‘social media don’t like me’. Get me out of here.”
As he gave Tommy his harsh advice, John got up from the couch to put on his coat and beanie before walking out of the room and out of the conversation.
