Short filmTranscript
00:00We're in Bolton here at Team Fury gym.
00:13Just when you thought there was no more Furies,
00:15there's another one coming out.
00:17Thomas Fury.
00:18Are you Thomas or Tom Fury?
00:20Whichever.
00:24I had a dream of where I wanted to be in life,
00:26what I wanted to do.
00:27I knew that from an early age.
00:29I wanted to box and I knew that was how I wanted to make my money.
00:32How old are you?
00:33Just turned 15.
00:34You're about 25.
00:36Got the body of your 24-year-old.
00:38I remember when I first put on boxing gloves and I first went to spa,
00:42everybody was gathering around the ring because it's like,
00:45oh, this is Tyson's brother.
00:46Let's have a look at the spa.
00:47Oh, this could be the next one.
00:48It's like so much pressure.
00:52When I do my training early in the morning,
00:54it puts me above my opponents.
00:55I know no other 15-year-old, I don't think,
00:58anyway, we'll be doing as much dedication as I am to it.
01:02In the early days, my own fights,
01:04I kind of developed this sense of drive and determination.
01:10And I had my sights set on being a world champion,
01:13just like Tyson.
01:14But honestly, ever since Bambi was born, it's all been about her.
01:19I could fight for the undisputed title tomorrow and win it,
01:23but it wouldn't matter as much to me as being a father.
01:26The best title that I've got.
01:28I think the most important thing for me right now moving forward is just to be under one roof with Molly and Bambi.
01:46That's the biggest thing that can happen to me.
01:59Bambi, did you have fun?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Did you enjoy it?
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Are you a ballerina?
02:06Yeah.
02:07There you go.
02:08Before I was obviously fighting for myself, but since Bambi's been born,
02:13it's like fighting for something else, fighting for someone else.
02:16It gives you that different mindset.
02:19Being a good fighter is so important to me and how I see myself.
02:23This next fight is huge pressure, but it's the next chapter.
02:27If I win, I feel like everything in my life will be back on track.
02:31Say bye-bye.
02:32Bye-bye.
02:33But after almost two years out, I'm definitely going to be nervous.
02:46We're off to the Wilmslow Hospital to get my medicals done
02:51for the fight, i.e. blood tests, MRI scans, urine,
02:56everything really getting the full work, so full body MOT.
03:01I meet my brother Roman there.
03:03You know, this is the first time me and Roman's ever boxed on a show together.
03:06It is a special moment.
03:07But first, we've both got to pass the medicals.
03:10All the tests need to come back A-OK for you to get in the ring.
03:14Roman's in at half nine, I'm in at half ten,
03:17so probably we'll catch each other on the way in.
03:21In eight days' time, Roman and Tommy will be fighting in Budapest.
03:30OK.
03:31If you've not got all your medicals up-to-date, there's no fight.
03:36When it's fight time, you've got to do as you're told.
03:39Listen to people who's got your best interests at heart.
03:42That's me.
03:43I've never, ever risked, not only my own sons, anyone's health.
03:48Can't have a double of this, my son.
03:51Doubling up.
03:53What about the old ticker?
03:54Fuck the ticker.
03:55It's going to pack in, it's going to pack in, isn't it?
03:57He's having a few palpitations and I put it down to the cocky.
04:00Boxing's hard enough as it is, but having Roman on the card next to me,
04:04it makes it feel a little bit easier.
04:06But for my dad, it's double the worry because two of his sons are fighting.
04:09Boxing is more dangerous than MMA, I think.
04:12It is.
04:13Because you think about it, you're taking constant blows to the head.
04:15Every couple of seconds you're taking a shot or trying to slip a shot to the head.
04:19Roman, are you ready to go for your scan?
04:20Yes, OK, all good.
04:21Hopefully you find a brain in there.
04:22Ha-ha, funny.
04:31Doing OK, Roman?
04:32Well, thank you.
04:33Lovely.
04:39I never wanted him to go into boxing because it's a brutal sport.
04:43Back in the day, there's been boxers killed in the room.
04:47Who wants that for a child?
04:50All good.
04:52Turns out the doctor found a brain.
04:54Happy days.
04:55Ah, you're up now.
04:59Boxing, you know, it's Russian roulette, isn't it?
05:02Because it's that dangerous.
05:04Parkinson's disease, memory loss.
05:06You can be put in a wheelchair with one punch.
05:09Could be the most dangerous thing ever.
05:13So I'm just going to put some stickers over your body, OK?
05:15Yep.
05:16So if they're a bit cold.
05:18When they enter that room, it's always a worry
05:21because their life is in your hands.
05:23So from a physical examination perspective, everything looks fantastic.
05:27Once I've got your blood test back, I'll give you a ring,
05:30tell you how everything is.
05:31Yeah, amazing.
05:32But I think you should be absolutely fine for next week.
05:34Yeah, amazing.
05:35Wish you all the luck.
05:36Amazing.
05:37Thank you very much.
05:38Give us a guided tour.
05:39That's it.
05:40No.
05:41A guided tour?
05:42Yes.
05:43Well, on the left, you have... I have no idea.
05:47My flight's been paid for by the Hungarian Tourist Board.
05:48As part of my deal with them, I'm selling Budapest as a tourist destination.
05:53So basically we're here now and we're going to visit all these locations, take some pictures,
05:55post it onto my Instagram and social media and basically just promote the country.
06:00Ready?
06:01What's it called again?
06:02Fisherman's Bastion.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Fisherman's Bastion.
06:05Fisherman's Bastion.
06:06Fisherman's Bastion.
06:07Is that how you say it?
06:08Right, guys.
06:09So here we are.
06:10Here we are.
06:11Here we are.
06:12Here we are.
06:13Here we are.
06:14Here we are.
06:15Here we are.
06:16Fisherman's Bastion.
06:17Never.
06:18Ready?
06:19What's it called again?
06:20Fisherman's Bastion.
06:21Bastion.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Fisherman's Bastion.
06:24Fisherman's Bastion.
06:25Fisherman's Bastion.
06:26Fisherman's Bastion.
06:27Is that how you say it?
06:28Right, guys.
06:29So here we are at Fisherman's Bastion today.
06:31Another touristy point here in Budapest.
06:35Never.
06:37Do you still consider yourself an influencer then?
06:39God, no.
06:40Good grief, man.
06:42No.
06:43I can't.
06:44What do I influence?
06:45I think I'm just a sportsman with a big platform on social media.
06:50Molly's an influencer.
06:51That's how she makes her money.
06:52Whereas me, I make my big money in the ring.
06:56It's like now.
06:57I'm getting paid, obviously, for this fight.
06:59But after the fight is done and I wake up on Saturday,
07:01I think, do you know what?
07:02I've earned this fucking money.
07:03I've traded me bollocks off for six months.
07:06I've took beatings in the gym,
07:07mental abuse off my dad when I'm not doing well,
07:09high days, low days.
07:11I've gone through the trenches to get that money.
07:13We'll do that other one tomorrow, Rich.
07:15Yeah, that's sweet.
07:16I think it's that building over there.
07:17Yeah, we'll do it tomorrow.
07:18All right.
07:29I did tell him I was coming.
07:31All right.
07:32Yes!
07:33Oi!
07:34Hey!
07:35Fuck your elbows!
07:36Put some shorts on!
07:37Seeing as it's your birthday,
07:38and you're in camp,
07:39it doesn't feel like a proper birthday.
07:40No, it doesn't.
07:41Come and take a little seat on the couch.
07:42There's nothing to be worried about.
07:43Don't be scared.
07:44Very strange.
07:45Very, very strange.
07:46Come and have a seat.
07:47You ready?
07:48Yeah.
07:49Happy birthday, Daddy!
07:50We love you!
07:51So much!
07:52Happy birthday to my best friend in the entire world.
07:54I love you so much.
07:55And I can't wait to see when you get home.
07:56And I'm so proud of you.
07:57Just wishing you a happy 26th birthday, Tom.
07:58Have a great day.
07:59Have a great, prosperous beauty.

12:20but how proud am i of tommy and roman words can't say okay thank you guys tommy's opponent nicknamed the
12:27bosnian battler a tough guy good record on paper and somebody can give him a bit of a challenge
12:37he's a very experienced guy he's had well over 100 amateur fights
12:44he's got four wins and one loss but even in the one loss he had his man down on the canvas
12:48so he's obviously a very dangerous man
12:54this guy is a proper fighter he's a proper professional and when you're messing with a
12:59heavyweight you can punch you definitely have got to be in your game see it tomorrow night
13:04we're literally just leaving for the venue checked in with bambi she was enjoying a massive ice cream
13:23molly always tosses and turns about coming but um she doesn't actually she hates watching the fights
13:30like there's no point in coming anyway because she's just looked at the floor the whole time
13:34i want to come back now it's just time to put that final nail on the coffin and be like right
13:37i'm back and that's obviously producing the the goods in the ring i'm just excited because i do feel
13:45like i've become a different person in this gap that i've been out so god willing i can get the victory
13:51tonight box well the story goes on it's a massively important occasion for us you go over there i've
14:03seen how he's prepared and i know the effort that he's put into this fight i think everyone in the team
14:09knows once the headphones go on let him do his thing like let him get mentally prepared let him do what
14:15he needs to do just the quiet car john yeah he's got full focus he's fully locked in i like seeing
14:23him in that mindset because then i know he's fully ready can't wait to get in there now and get the job
14:28done you know to me it's been a long time coming looking forward to a good night of boxing
14:45all good hi my kids when
15:15the end to that room i'm more thinking about the dangers of the next hike might believe me
15:21i want them to do well win and go on with as less punishment as possible that's the name of the game
15:31so here we've got my kit we've got the shorts gone for a bit of a different look this time with
15:36the tassels how much influence did you have with the design uh no molly designs the kit yeah
15:42i got the jacket as you can see fair on the on the sleeves nice little jacket
15:50everybody's here just a few hours away from fighting now roman's up first i think about
15:54nine o'clock then i'm about an hour later at ten o'clock
15:56the hardest part about the fight is the waiting around all the training has been done all the
16:02work's been pulling it's just time to wait now for every fight i've had you're crapping yourself the
16:07whole build up i'm thinking oh buddy what about if this happens what about that happens
16:11but then on the night something else takes over it sounds crazy to say but my biggest thinking when
16:20i get in the ring is i want to win for my dad and make him proud
16:23he does everything for us so the only way for us to pay him back is to get in there and put on good
16:30performances and get the win this boxing match is an honor of our lord jesus christ may both boys
16:38leave the ring the same way to enter in good health amen
16:52and naturally i'm kind of like more of a quiet guy i'm not really a proper
17:02extroverted guy i'm kind of introverted i'm basically a novice really i've still got lots
17:08and lots to learn are you watching roman now yeah we're watching him changing rooms
17:13what's going on let's go when it's time to go i've got to turn into a bit of a show in this
17:27i love all the people watching me it just shows in the ring you've got to have fun in there
17:31something changes i mean i don't know what it's down to but uh it's good put it that way i like it
17:43it's good
17:49good shot roman
17:54oh good shot yeah good shot
18:04go on big arm love it
18:05There's no better feeling on the planet than getting your hand raised, having the announcer
18:24call your name as a winner, especially Dabuzeri who's all there, so it's just nice to make
18:29them proud. It's fantastic.
18:31Now, on to Tommy. He's going to get the business done as well. Come on, Tommy.
18:35Well done. One down, another one to go.
18:49For the first time since his surgery, the undefeated Tommy Fury is stepping back into the ring.
19:00This is all I've dreamt of since I was in the hospital bed, having surgery.
19:04It's been such a hard, hard battle to get here.
19:07I'm all worried about the hand. Right now, the hand's not hurting.
19:11I can't go into the ring thinking, oh, my hand, this and that.
19:13I've got to forget about the hand and go in there, box how I box.
19:16Because as soon as you start doubting yourself, you're fucked.
19:27Behind the curtain, I think of all the hard times in training.
19:30All the times that my hand's played up, I think of the break-up that I've gone through.
19:40I think of all the shit I've got on social media for the past however many months.
19:45Tommy Fury, you are the biggest shit house I have ever come across. You are not a man.
19:49I mean, let's be real, what is the point of Tommy Fury?
19:52Like, without Molly May, he's nothing.
19:57All that shit and all that anger and frustration he's going to be taken out in that ring.
20:01When I step up into the ring, I don't see anything.
20:24Everything just becomes a blur.
20:28All my eyes are on is my opponent.
20:31When the bell rings, the switch is flipped, and you're a different animal.
20:41Oh, brilliant shot.
20:43Stay comfortable.
20:50It's my first time fighting at this heavy weight, so there's a lot of things to watch out for.
20:54He's very experienced, and it's a pretty tough comeback fight after two years.
20:57Put the right on him, and then move off.
20:59Tommy's been out of the ring for a long time now.
21:01It's been 18 months or more, and you can train all you want.
21:05What you need to do is get your mind into fighting again, being under the bright lights, the roar of the crowd, and forget about everything else.
21:16Straight on him, Tommy.
21:17If his hand goes, we've got a problem.
21:20It's a massive risk, and he couldn't lose the fight.
21:24Ring rust is a real thing.
21:26We'll blow the cobwebs off on this fight.
21:29It's vital to keep that activity going.
21:33All it takes is one punch to knock you out.
21:36Anything can happen in that ring.
21:37I hit him with a shot, and I did feel the same shooting pain that had opened my arm in the KSI fight.
21:50When you land a punch, and you can feel your hand go, you know it's gone, but you've got to have a poker face.
21:58Because if I show my opponent that my hand's gone, he's going to jump all over me.
22:05I continued the fight.
22:07I continued putting it in.
22:09You know what?
22:28I've been trying to go this past two years.
22:31I want to say hello to my beautiful baby girl that made up.
22:35My sweetheart Molly, she'll always be my brother.
22:36It's on top of the world again.
22:52Thank you. Appreciate it.
22:55Just this problem.
22:59After the fight, I took the glove off, and it was massive.
23:04So that's when the worry started to seep in.
23:06Oh, fuck.
23:14Me career's over.
23:19Yeah, how do you have a problem?
23:20Look.
23:22Yeah.
23:25You know, I've seen him wincing a few times.
23:26Every time he'd come back to the corner, you know, the hand was shaking a bit.
23:30You know, I thought, well, here we go.
23:32I can't really make a fist.
23:33That's as much I can do.
23:34How does it feel, though?
23:36It don't feel great, I'll be honest.
23:38Compare it on a scale of one to...
23:39It feels the gas way the same as it did when it was bad.
23:42All right.
23:42Okay.
23:43Between me and you, it's not great.
23:44Right.
23:45I can't stop it from, like...
23:46No, it's shaking.
23:47...shaking, and it's killing me.
23:49I'm praying.
23:51Listen, of course, listen.
23:52We're just praying that I'm not in the same boat that I was.
23:54No.
23:54The hand's obviously badly swollen and badly bruised.
23:59I'm praying that all the, you know, surgery that was done and performed is still intact.
24:04I'm praying that nothing's come out or come loose or nothing's torn or damaged.
24:08I'm hoping it's just spilling.
24:09It's the morning of going to see the doctor.
24:28There's a lot of things flashing through my mind because going to see that doctor could mean a million things.
24:32It could mean I can't box again, my hand's fucked again, another operation, another two years out of the ring.
24:39It's like you're driving to your doom.
24:42Swollen here, which has never really been swollen before.
24:45See, there's the most pain.
24:47I think it's probably worth us getting an x-ray and I think we should get an MRI scan.
24:56Been here before.
24:58What I'm thinking, if it's broke, we have a problem.
25:02A career-threatening problem.
25:05How are you doing there? You okay?
25:07Yep, fine.
25:08Just a couple of minutes left.
25:10I think I can cope with anything other than being told that I can't fight.
25:14I ask God just to be there with me and, you know, pray that everything will be all right.
25:19I think after the year he's had to come back and get the win,
25:22to thinking during that time, am I ever going to box again?
25:25Am I ever going to be able to do any of this?
25:26You know, what am I going to do with my life?
25:30I don't know if I'd want to sit out for the other year.
25:31It just wouldn't be good, would it?
25:33It just really wouldn't be ideal.
25:35I'm not even going to get myself in that headspace.
25:37We'll wait until after the MRI and see what's going on there.
25:39The story of my life is like a snakes and ladders board.
25:45So far up, all of a sudden, you land on the snake and you're back to square one.
25:50We're going to have to wait a few weeks to get the answer from the specialist.
25:54So it's going to be a nail-biting few weeks.
25:58If he comes back with bad news, there's no more boxing, is there?
26:01That's it. It's over.
26:02We won the fight, but hopefully we ain't lost the war.
26:07Molly does like a bit of hummus every now and then.
26:36Well, even though I'm still shopping for the family, it's got to be reduced fat.
26:41It has to be.
26:42I've been living here by myself and you look in the fridge and all there is in egg whites,
26:46steak and nothing fun, no treats, no snacks.
26:49So now I need to get rid of that mindset and it's not just me who's living here.
26:54You know, I need to fill it up and I need to have baby stuff in here.
26:57I need to have Molly's snacks in here and make it a normal fridge in a normal household.
27:00Fish fingers.
27:04And do you know what? Because I'm a nice guy, he'll even throw in a tub of ice cream.
27:08At the end of the day, my sole purpose was to get Molly and Bambi back here,
27:13back underneath one roof.
27:15Back like before.
27:17I've had to sort myself out and put my arse in gear.
27:20They've stuck by me through thick and thin and I'm so grateful for it.
27:23Ever since we started this journey and we went through all that shit in the beginning,
27:33it's to get to this point, you know, and that's what it's all about.
27:38That's what it's always been about, getting back to this point.
27:40And now that I'm here, I'm filling the fridge up, you know, for them
27:46and buying all things that they like and stuff like that, it's, you know, it is everything.
27:54How are you feeling about the future?
27:56To lose Molly and Bambi again was like the world's biggest fear for me.
28:01Without training in my life, it's like playing Jenga.
28:04Everything will just fall down again.
28:06So I guess we'll see.
28:11If you can't fight, you can't fight.
28:13He's going to have to accept that.
28:16I think Jake Paul thinks about me beating him every single night.
28:22And when I'm ready, I'll deal with him again.
28:25He's got one fight left and that's it.
28:46Until then.
28:56I hope you.
28:56I'm out.
28:58You.
29:00I want you.
29:00I want you.
29:00I want you.
29:03I want you.
29:04You.
29:05I want you.
29:06I want you.
