The hint that Baby Hague-Fury has arrived comes after Jake Paul sensationally claimed that the couple had had their baby boy on Friday.
The YouTuber made the claim in a new Instagram post while wishing for Tommy to fight him in Saudi Arabia, two years after their last fight.
Jake shared a post writing: ‘Baby is born’ and since then, Tommy agreed to fight him, the former Love Island star.
However, a press release that was later issued about the fight claimed that the couple were still awaiting the arrival of their little girl.
MailOnline contacted a spokesperson for Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury for comment at the time.
Whoops: Tommy’s boxing rival Jake Paul made the claim Friday, but Molly Mae and Tommy remained silent.
In a post announcing their upcoming fight, Jake said there were “no excuses” for delaying the fight now that “the baby is out.”
He wrote: ‘After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth finally came.
‘Fumbles has no excuses anymore. The baby is born. The money is huge. Immigration is not a problem. Sunday February 26.’

Molly explained: “We were going through a really difficult time with Tommy and his job and fights happened, then they didn’t, and the situations were completely out of our control.”
“I was in the most emotionally difficult period of my life, trying to support Tommy, and it was a crazy few months.”
