Tommy Fury dedicates his Soccer Aid debut to baby daughter Bambi as she watches on
Tommy Fury is set to make his Soccer Aid for UNICEF debut this Sunday 11 June as he joins the previously notorious World XI FC team, and will be dedicating his performance to his four-month-old daughter Bambi.
The professional boxer, who welcomed the little one back in January with girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, confirmed that his family will be in the Old Trafford stadium stands to support him at the match.
Chatting with OK! during a Soccer Aid team training session, he said: “Bambi will be live and present at the game on Sunday.
“I’m going to give her a shout-out whether we win or lose, always. I’m dedicating my performance to her – so you can guarantee it will be a great performance.
It’s been a busy few weeks for the former Love Island contestant, as he continued to share his excitement to spend some quality time with Bambi.
“I am missing her, when I left home was a bit hectic, I was rushing about doing a million things so I’m looking forward to seeing her at the game,” shared Tommy.
Continuing: “I’ve taken a week off next week too so I’ll get to spend quality time with her then. She’s golden, she sleeps from 12am until 7:30am every night, she’s no problem at all”.
Tommy was enjoying a day of training on the grounds of resort hotel Champneys Tring with his fellow celebrities. Leading him on the World XI team is captain Usain Bolt, while Ben Foster, Patrice Evra, Nani, Maisie Adam, Kaylyn Kyle, Heather O’Reilly, Mo Gilligan, Lee Mack, Steven Bartlett, Kem Cetinay and Noah Beck make up the ;ine-up.
While Mauricio Pochettino, Martin Compston and Robbie Keane are part of the World XI Management Team.
On the opposition, Jill Scott is at the helm of the England team, consisting of David James, Paddy McGuinness, Gary Neville, Gary Cahill, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Jack Wilshere, Jermain Defoe, Eni Aluko, Karen Carney, Scarlette Douglas, Alex Brooker, Chunkz, Tom Grennan, Sir Mo Farah, Bugzy Malone, Joel Corry and Liam Payne.
Stormzy, Harry Redknapp, Emma Hayes, Vicky McClure, David Seaman are part of the England Management Team.
A first time arrival to the charity event, what does Tommy think of his fellow teammates? “The dynamic is good, there are a lot of interesting characters on the team. We’ve all gelled together and the mixture of personalities makes a secret potion for it to work”.
Fellow Love Island alum Kem has been helping welcome the boxer to the team after joining Soccer Aid himself back in 2019. Joining Tommy at the side of the training pitch, he told OK!: “Tommy is really making me train outside of this training, he’s got me in the gym because he is still doing boxing training as well.”
“4am this morning we were there,” interjected Tommy. While Kem added: “It’s good though. And for Tommy, I know the feeling when you first come here, you’re so nervous, there are so many stars, it’s just mad but also so good.”
