Tommy Fury will seemingly go to great lengths to maintain his boxing physique – which includes, erm, drinking his partner’s breast milk.
The ex Love Island star, 27, revealed on a podcast with his boxing coach father, John Fury, that he tried Molly-Mae Hague’s breast milk after she gave birth to their daughter Bambi – and claimed that his arms “doubled in size” as a result.
Speaking on the latest episode of What the Fury?, the half brother of boxer Tyson Fury said: “I have drunk breast milk. Molly had just given birth to Bambi. I did have a little taste.
“That is real growth hormone that. Do you know how much goodness is in that breast milk?”
After a shocked John, 60, responded by saying that he would “rather eat six tarantulas”, Tommy continued: “Listen, that breast milk is good for you. My arms doubled in size.
“She was breast feeding for the child. It was in this little bottle in the fridge,” he said, as his father protested: “Stop. Stop right there.”
Tommy added: “Power went through the roof. It added another inch on my arms. It was fantastic. That’s real HGH there. Human growth hormone.
“I’m telling you, look it up after this. It’s one of the best things you can drink. You give it to a newborn baby who needs all these nutrients.”
When John pointed out that Tommy wasn’t a newborn baby, Tommy responded: “You still need nutrients. Can never do without nutrients.”
As for what it was like, Tommy said: “It was alright. It was a bit like almond soy milk. Like soy milk.”
Other celebrities have claimed to experience health benefits from drinking breast milk – fitness influencer Joe Wicks said in 2024 that it gives him “energy and nutrients”, while Kourtney Kardashian revealed that she drink a glass of her own breast milk as a remedy when she was feeling sick.
However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that consuming breast milk has any benefits for the adult body. Nutri Peak dietitian Amie Alexander previously told The Independent that the antibodies and protein found in human milk are only beneficial for actual babies. “These are only really useful in the infant stage and unlikely to benefit an adult organisation working in that context of bodybuilding,” she said.
Tommy Fury met now-partner Molly-Mae Hague on the fifth series of Love Island in 2019, with the pair becoming engaged four years later. They now share two children together: daughter Bambi, three, and one-month-old son Midas.
The reality star revealed Midas’ unique name when he entered the ring ahead of his fight with Eddie Hall in June. The name is a reference to Greek and Roman mythology, in which King Midas wishes that everything he touches might turn to gold – although Hague later clarified that her son was actually named after a character from Disney film Real Steel.
“It’s basically like Transformers. It’s got Hugh Jackman in it and it’s a film about robots boxing. One of those robots in the film was called Midas,” she said. “This was years ago and I heard the name and was like ‘wow, that’s a really, cool strong name’ and I’d never heard of it before.”
Tommy is currently hosting a new BBC podcast with his father John, What The Fury? – a 10-part video series where they discuss kids, masculinity, AI, relationships and other modern life topics.
