Tommy Fury updates fans as he undergoes surgery

Just one day after celebrating his daughter Bambi's first birthday, former Love Island star and professional boxer Tommy Fury has announced he's undergone surgery on a recurring hand injury.

Sharing a snap of himself to Instagram in his hospital bed, Tommy told his followers: 'Since 2019 I have been dealing with a hand injury that I’ve never spoken about/shared online. Since my third professional fight I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to use my right hand at all.

'For the last four weeks of my last camp I trained solely with my left hand until fight night. This morning I underwent the surgery I’ve been putting off for years as I know this is the only way my hand will heal and that I can move forward with my boxing career. I’m excited for my recovery journey and so ready to be back feeling and giving 100% in 2024.' (sic)

Tommy's fiancée Molly-Mae Hague was quick to comment on the post, simply writing: '❤️❤️❤️' , with a fan writing: 'Even more impressive that you fought and won your fights with one good hand 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽'. (sic)

Another commented: 'Wishing you a speedy recovery Tommy!!!! 🙌❤️', with a third adding: 'Buzzing. Finally going to witness the real TNT explode once it’s healed 💥'. (sic)

Another then wrote: 'We support you, take all the time you need to get back to feeling like your best self!' (sic)

The news arrives just one day after Tommy and Molly celebrated their daughter Bambi's first birthday, throwing her the cutest little party.
