TOMMY FURY is so focussed on beating Jake Paul he has moved out of the mansion he shares with his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.
Fury – who met Molly-Mae on the 2019 series of Love Island – instead revealed he has stayed in a “hellhole” apartment.
He is set to face Paul on February 26 in Saudi Arabia and will let nothing get in the way of victory.
Fury told Sky Sports: “I’m a professional athlete, I’m a professional boxer.
“My job is not to make little sly jokes and comments on Instagram and social media.
“I’m in a training camp. I’m in bed nine o’clock every single night, I’m up 4.30/5am running. Solely focussed on this man.

“One man is flying around the globe, coming here to do media stuff going here, there and everywhere and you’ve got one man that’s living in a hellhole.
“I’ve moved out of my own house, I’m living in a little apartment, I’ve gone back to the dog mindset.
“And that’s what’s going to get me through this fight, he’s not working as hard as I am, I’m putting the work in.
“I’m not just putting the work in when the camera’s in front of me. All the cameras are off when I’m working.

“I don’t need people to stand around me and say, ‘You’re doing well, keep going.’
“It’s already tunnel vision and nothing else is going to distract me. Nothing in this world could take away my focus right now.”
Fury, 23, moved into his £3.5million mansion in Manchester with Molly-Mae in April 2022.
The comments he made about leaving to focus on training came during an interview recorded on Saturday, January 28.
Just five days earlier, he welcomed baby daughter Bambi into the world with partner Molly-Mae, 23.

Although Paul, 26, revealed the birth in a social media swipe on January 27.
He tweeted: “Tommy has no excuses now…Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue.”
Fury has twice pulled out of fighting Paul in the past, with a rib injury in December 2021 and then a US visa issue last August.
But he gets a third crack at Paul after the pair agreed a blockbuster in the Middle East.
And he promised to bury the YouTuber-turned boxer’s career in the Saudi desert without the help of the scorecards.

He said: “You’re going to see fireworks, it’s going to be over inside the distance. There is no way in this world this fight goes to points.
“The judges, don’t bother taking points, because you’re not needed.”
