Tommy Fury ate £300 worth of cheesecake after Jake Paul win – and put on 3st

Tommy Fury piled on three stone as he gorged on junk food – including expensive cheesecake – following his win over Jake Paul.

The Love Islander’s long-standing feud with Paul came to a head in Saudi Arabia earlier this year after the two previous scheduled meetings had to be cancelled. Fury took a standing count for a knockdown in the final eighth round, with the British fighter claiming to have slipped. But he had earlier done enough to earn victory on the judges’ cards.

Fury made £3million from the bout – and also gained plenty of weight as he toasted his success. Having weighed 13st 1lb before the Paul fight, he ballooned to more than 16st, he told The Times.

Having been careful with his diet in the lead-up to the fight, Fury admits he let himself go afterwards, including wolfing down £300 worth of cheesecake, plus pizzas, burgers and milkshakes.

“My logic – and it’s terrible – is that between fights I try to cram as much c**p as I can into my body so that when I have to get back in shape I’m sick of junk food. Everything that was bad for you, it was in that hotel room that night,” he said.

Fury said the victory over Paul saved his boxing career which now stands at 8-0 ahead of his upcoming fight with another YouTuber, KSI.

“Hand on heart, 100%. I wouldn’t even be able to show my face in public for a long time,” added the 24-year-old. "I’ve been boxing all my life and then I lose to a YouTuber? That would have been the biggest joke.”

A rematch or a bout with Paul’s brother, Logan, could be made but Fury wants to face traditional boxers following his dust-up with KSI in Manchester this weekend.

“For me to be truly satisfied, I have to get my hands on title belts,” he said. “I don’t want to sit in the rocking chair at 70 thinking I could have challenged for a world title, I could have been in contention. I want my name to go down in history for ever.”
