Molly-Mae Hague has revealed she’s “embarrassed” after “letting herself down” at he beau Tommy Fury’s fight on Saturday night.
The former PrettyLittleThing creative director stepped out to support her fiancé at his bout with YouTuber KSI at the AO Arena in Manchester.
The 24-year-old emerged victorious, but Molly-Mae has since opened up about her pre-match nerves as she detailed the stressful build-up.
Speaking in her new vlog, Molly-Mae said: “I don’t think I realised how much [my nerves were] affecting my mood the run up to the fight.”
“Honestly the last couple of days I have literally been on cloud nine, like it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders.”
“I don’t think I realised how much the buildup to the fight and the anxiety – I just don’t think I realise how much it was affecting me – since he’s come home with the win we’ve had the most insane couple of days.”
“I’ll be honest though it’s probably the last time I will ever go to a fight – I say that – it won’t be because I will drag myself there like I did with this one!”
“I more than anything slightly embarrassed myself as Tommy’s support system at the fight because honestly my head was on the ground the whole entire fight,” Molly-Mae continued.
“I physically could not lift up my chin to look at the ring and watch the fight. I don’t know what happens to me in those situations.”
“When I was younger I used to compete in competitive sports – I quit all of them – because I hate that like competition feeling I hated that environment it used to give me anxiety. I didn’t like the feeling of like being in competition with anyone.”
“It’s just typical that my fiancé is a boxer and I’m now like plummeted with no choice back into that lifestyle.”
“I wouldn’t change it for the world because I know it makes him so happy and I’ve been over this quite a few times now but I just it’s quite hard.”
“I feel like I kind of let myself down. I really wanted to be like a strong support system for him on Saturday and I felt like I was just up until the point of the actual fight…”
“Honestly guys, I was a mess, a literal mess. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t speak, literally felt like I was going to faint, be sick.”
“I don’t know why I get so nervous and it wasn’t like the actual fight. I think it’s just feeling the pressure of being his support system and being the one that truly knows how he feels and knows him inside out. I don’t know what’s going on with this it’s just a mad feeling.”
“The fact that this fight I was there ringside, I was like ‘oh no, no, no, no,’ like not for me whatsoever I can’t.”
Referencing her sister-in-law, who is married to Tommy’s brother Tyson, the mum-of-one admitted: “I don’t know how Paris does it I don’t know how any partners of boxers do it. I take my hat off to you because I can’t do it I am useless.”
“I wish I was that strong woman like I’m going to be there for my man. I said to him before he went I said “just remember that it’s nights like these that when you’re an old man sat in your rocking chair and when we’re old together, and we’re telling Bambi’s children, we’re telling our grandkids stories and stuff these are the kind of things you’re going to tell them.”
‘”You’re going to tell them about the time that you like sold out the AO Arena and you had a huge fight and there was thousands and thousands of people there cheering your name.”
“I said ‘the fight forget about that for a second just just soak it all in because these are moments that are just so crazy.'”
“I’m excited to bring you more vlogs with me feeling a lot more myself and not having the stress of Tommy’s fight like just looming over my head constantly.”
“I described it as a feeling of like you know when you’re in your car and you’re driving and then a hill suddenly comes like a big dip in the road. Or like you go down a roller coaster and your stomach just physically dropped.”
“Every time I thought of the fight that’s literally what the sensation in my stomach was like and it was just horrible. Now that’s gone it’s just the best feeling in the world. I’m just feeling so happy right now and so lucky that we can enjoy this family time together.”
