Boxing legend Mike Tyson bizarrely confused Tommy Fury’s split with Molly-Mae Hague for a story about his brother Tyson having a drug problem.
Molly-Mae, who first met Tommy on the hit reality TV show Love Island in 2019, revealed the bombshell news of their break-up last week, with claims since surfacing that the boxer cheated on her after being spotted ‘brazenly kissing a blonde woman’ on a boozy night out during his trip to North Macedonia.
Tommy, who shares daughter Bambi, 20 months, with the former Love Islander, has denied any cheating claims and has said he is ‘horrified’ by the ‘false allegations’.Â
He admitted he was ‘heartbroken’ after Molly-Mae broke news of their split in a statement which began: ‘Never in a million years did I ever think I’d have to write this’.
In the buildup to Tyson’s fight with Jake Paul, the 58-year-old appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast ‘Impaulsive’ and was asked how he felt about the celebrity couple parting ways.

When asked by Paul’s co-host Mike Majlak about the ‘Fury and Molly-Mae break-up’, he stunningly confused the Love Island star with his older brother Tyson.Â
‘No-one knows the pain, no-one knows the pain of the heavyweight champion when he’s alone,’ Tyson said.
‘I saw him falling down in the street, Tyson Fury, and stuff. We beat ourselves up. We torment ourselves … you guys are going to tell me something?’
Attempting to clarify, Paul quickly interjected: ‘It was actually his brother, his little brother Tommy. The one that Jake Paul fought. He broke up with Molly.’
‘Who the f*** is Molly?’ Tyson exclaimed, as laughter began to erupt on the set. ‘I’m thinking about getting high. I’m in the drug phase of my life.’
Paul went on to explain that Tommy was Tyson Fury’s brother and that he had been in a relationship with Molly-Mae for five years until very recently.
‘I look at Molly – that’s a narcotic. Are you serious, man… stop f***ing with me?’ Iron Mike continued.
‘No, it’s sad, we’re all very sad,’ Paul replied, somewhat sarcastically.
Mike Tyson and Logan’s brother Jake were scheduled to fight in July before the former heavyweight champion was forced to withdraw from the contest with major health issues.Â
