Tommy Fury: professional boxer ‘excited’ to become an ambassador for Marks & Spencer

Tommy Fury is “excited” to become an ambassador for Marks & Spencer as the retail giant closes, opens and relocates stores across the UK. The professional boxer, 23, took to Instagram last night (May 1) to announce his next venture.

Wearing a black M&S FOOD apron and standing in front of a plate of roast chicken, roast potatoes and vegetables, he wrote: “Excited to announce I am now an Ambassador for @marksandspencer 🥣… excited for what’s to come! @marksandspencerfoodpr #ad”.

The news comes just months after Marks & Spencer confirmed plans to reduce its number of stores across the UK from 247 to 180. Five stores have already closed their doors in 2023, and three more are set for closure this year, including the Newport Road store in Cardiff which will close for the final time this month (May 2023).

However, the retailer also confirmed that it would be increasing its food stores from 316 to 420, adding 104 Simply Food stores to its roster in the next five years. This includes a brand new food hall in Stockport Retail Park, which will be opening in the summer at the former Next site.

Tommy has been busy in recent months after beating Youtuber Jake Paul in a highly anticipated boxing match on February 26, and welcoming his first child with girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, who he met on ITV’s Love Island in 2019, on January 23, 2023.

The couple recently took three-month-old Bambi on a luxury holiday to Dubai, where she enjoyed her first beach day, a dip in the pool and a boat day from the famous Marina. Later this month, the young family will also jet off to Barbados for the wedding of Molly-Mae’s manager, Fran Britton.

The professional boxer is also set to play in Soccer Aid’s annual charity football match at Old Trafford on Sunday, June 11. He will join Jamaican runner Usain Bolt’s team as they go head-to-head with Lioness Jill Scott’s team to raise money for Unicef.
