The latest instalment of this BBC documentary takes us inside Tommy Fury’s ‘year from hell’ – and his impressive comeback

Not only was the pro boxer sidelined with a hand injury that needed surgery, leaving him unable to step into the ring, but things weren’t any better in his personal life either – he was battling alcohol addiction and dealing with a very public break-up, all while trying to show up as a dad to his young daughter, Bambi.

It’s these battles that part 1 of Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury explored when it aired on BBC iPlayer earlier this year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at everything he’s been juggling. And we’ll be honest - we were instantly hooked thanks to its mix of raw emotion, personal drama and the kind of honesty you don’t usually get from someone in the spotlight.

Thankfully for anyone who’s been craving more (yes, that’s us), part two has now dropped, also on BBC iPlayer, and we highly recommend you get stuck right back in to see Tommy take control of his own narrative and share who he really is beyond the headlines.

The show picks up with Tommy doing what he does best - trying to wrestle his life back into shape the only way a Fury possibly can. With his hand finally healed and the green light to get back in the gym, he’s determined to rebuild everything he almost lost, from his career to his family life, and he’s letting the cameras follow every step of it.

What hits hardest this time around isn’t the punches, however, it’s the graft, with Tommy not just training for another fight, but rebuilding trust, repairing relationships and working overtime to be the man he wants his daughter to look up to.

And it looks like it has certainly pulled it off – not only is he officially back with Molly-Mae but, according to the Love Island alum, pretty much all his relationships are better than ever. Case in point? In one episode we see him buying a £90,000 motor home so he, Molly and Bambi can make new memories as a family, while he also takes his mum out for lunch in a bid to reconnect with her. He even tries to encourage little Bambi, who has apparently entered her biting era, to channel that energy into boxing pads instead of people, and you really start to see the family man behind the fighter.

Then, of course, there’s his relationship with his own dad, John Fury - a dynamic that’s equal parts fiery and equal parts funny, and somehow exactly what you’d expect from a family whose idea of quality time usually involves someone yelling about footwork. After all, while Tommy may be a modern-day man, not afraid to open up emotionally, his father represents an older school, hard-edged view of what it means to be a fighter and a man, and it’s fascinating to watch.

Speaking of fighting, you’ll be happy to know that boxing is still front and centre too. While Tommy sets his sights on a comeback fight in Budapest, we see setbacks, negotiations and a very real pressure to prove that he deserves to be back in the ring.

Through all of this, what becomes obvious is that Tommy isn’t just chasing wins, he’s chasing redemption. He wants to be a better fighter, a better partner and a better dad, and he’s being honest about what that actually takes. “A lot of people see me in the ring, they see me on social media, but they don’t see me,” he says. “The person behind all of that. I’m excited for everyone to finally be able to see what goes on behind the scenes, how the big fights are made, all the ups and downs as well as a glimpse into my private life.”

So, if you think you know Tommy Fury because you’ve seen a few clips online, then think again. This is the version he wants you to see, flaws, feelings and all, and trust us, it’s well worth watching.

All episodes of Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury are available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.
