The boxer, who is the younger brother of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, welcomed his first child with influencer Hague on January 23. As he stepped into the boxing ring, the 23-year-old was seen lifting his robe to his face and kissing his daughter’s name as he wished for an easy win against Paul.
Fury met social media influencer Hague on the fifth season of ITV2 dating show Love Island. The Pretty Little Thing creative director watched the fight from the pair’s family home in Manchester with a group of friends. Hague was joined by fellow ex Love Island contestant Maura Higgins, 2018 Islander Stephanie Lam and Molly-Mae’s sister Zoe as they cheered Fury on at home.

In a social media post before Fury and Hague announced the birth, Paul said that Fury had "no excuses now" before listing that the "baby is born" among other reasons no longer preventing them from fighting.
