Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague is unsure about Tommy Fury as he showers in his boxers
"You think about the popularity from Love Island - it's a young audience.
"It would take 30 or 40 fights to get that audience, it's great for boxing, it's great for him and it's great for the box office."
Last week, Tommy was called out by Love Island viewers for saying his brother Tyson is a world champion.
Tommy, 20, was heard discussing his famous sibling during a conversation with Lucie Donlan.
He said: "I'm not just saying that because he's my brother and that, but I think he's the best in the world and from what he's come through and now he's a world champion."
He added: "I think that's why my mindset is so strong. I think that if I put my mind to anything, I can do it and I believe in myself."
And fans of the show immediately took to social media to call the young boxer out.
