TOMMY Fury has revealed he is in hospital for surgery after secretly struggling with ‘extreme pain’ for four years.
The 24-year-old boxer shared his health battle on Instagram this afternoon and spoke candidly about his injury.

Tommy said: “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.”
His girlfriend Molly-Mae, 24, was one of the first to respond to his post and shared three red heart emojis.
Another follower empathised with Tommy, writing: “Had a hand injury for the last 10 months and its been hell with interupting training and working etc. Feel you brother! Iv been worrying about having an operation myself! So this is what I needed to see.”
And one more fan left a rallying comment, replying: “The comeback will be something else! The future is bright.”
It comes as Tommy’s dad John entered talks with KSI for a rematch.
In October, the ex-Love Island star escaped the Manchester Arena with a controversial points win over six rounds to hand KSI his first ever defeat.
But the disputed result only made the feud between the pair uglier.
Fury claimed he “HATES” his boxing rival while KSI admitted he would happily never see the reality star in a big fight again.
The man in the middle of negotiations last year was Kalle Sauerland, who promotes KSI’s Misfits Boxing but has also worked with the Furys.
He told SunSport: “I’ll give John a call in the next couple of weeks and see what he’s doing.
“We talks to the Furys a lot. We’ve promoted Roman Fury, dealt with John on that, get on great with Tyson as well.
“They’re a boxing family so we talk. We’re enemies when it comes to the fight but we got the deal done when a lot of people in this space said, ‘You’ll never get a deal done.'”
Promoters boasted of selling 1.3million pay-per-views at £20 a pop for the grudge match, which at those estimations raked in over £25MILLION.
This week the star celebrated his daughter’s first birthday.
His other half gave fans a glimpse of daughter Bambi’s birthday bash – and there was a link to Love Island.
The couple met on Love Island series five in 2019.
As their baby girl Bambi celebrated her birthday this week, millionaire Molly unveiled a £52 present that looked like it went down a treat.
