TOMMY FURY revealed he never watches Love Island – and has not even seen the series he starred in alongside girlfriend Molly-Mae.
The unbeaten boxer – brother to heavyweight legend Tyson – went into the hit ITV series in 2019.

He came runner-up with now partner Molly-Mae, with the happy couple now expecting their first child together.
But Fury admitted he is not exactly a big fan of the show, either before or after his successful stint, but credits it for building his career.
He said in an interview with Tom Moore: “I never watched Love Island before doing it and I’ve not watched it since, didn’t even watch my own series back.
“But it was one of those things, Love Island has given me the platform of a world champion already.
“It put me out there, it helped me step out the shoes of being Tyson’s little brother, which was all I was called growing up, which isn’t a bad thing.
“It’s amazing to be related to the best fighter there’s ever been, in my opinion. So that was amazing but it helped born me.
“Everybody knows me now for Tommy Fury and what I’m like and my own personality.”
Fury went into the villa as a 2-0 boxer and has since added six more wins to his record.
Over the last two years, he has been linked with a massive celebrity grudge match against YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul.
He was forced to twice pull out of their first two scheduled fights after suffering a rib injury and US visa issue.
But the two are set to announce the latest rehashed date of February 25 in Saudi Arabia.
And Fury, 23, said he will focus on a traditional path to boxing titles after a quick cash grab bout with Paul, 26.
He said: “All I see with Jake Paul is a business.
“If you want me to beat a man that can’t fight and throw millions of pounds in my face, no problem, sign me up.
“I describe it all the time as being on route 66, I need to stop off and fill my camper van up and get back on the road.
“I am on a straight and narrow road to world titles but you want me to take a slight detour for an awful lot of fuel, pick that up and jump back on the road.
“And that’s all I’m doing here. It is a business at the end of the day, you’ve gotta to use your head and every fighter in my position would take that fight if it got offered to them.”
