The BBC has commissioned Optomen to make Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, a new series for BBC Three and iPlayer that will follow boxer and reality star Tommy Fury as he “attempts to get his life back on track the only way a Fury knows how.”
Fury is allowing cameras “into every aspect of his life” including his journey back into the ring.
“Just a year ago Tommy Fury seemed to have it all – victory over his biggest adversary Jake Paul, love with Molly-Mae and a beautiful baby daughter, Bambi. But in his last fight he damaged his hand and, unable to train, his life span out of control. Tommy has spent over a year out of the ring, and so winning his upcoming fight means even more. With unprecedented access to Tommy and his inner circle, the build-up to the fight is about much more than boxing, it’s a way of fulfilling a family legacy, which goes to the very centre of who Tommy is – and who he wants to be.”
Tommy Fury says: “A lot of people see me in the ring, they see me on social media, but they don’t see ME – the person behind all of that. I’m excited for everyone to finally be able to see what goes on behind the scenes, how the big fights are made, all the ups and downs as well as a glimpse into my private life.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, says: “The gloves are off in this candid, access all areas insight into the real life of Tommy Fury. With unprecedented insights, audiences will see Tommy as they never have before. Whilst he remains undefeated in his boxing career, he is also determined to remain on his feet outside of the ring.”
Rebecca McLaughlin, Executive Producer for Optomen, says: “Tommy has given extraordinary access, giving us a candid and unfiltered insight into his life and the unpredictable world of crossover boxing.”
Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury. (10 x 30’) is an Optomen Production for BBC Three and iPlayer and was commissioned by Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment and Fiona Campbell, Controller BBC Three and Youth Audiences. Optomen Creative Directors are Tina Flintoff and Nick Hornby alongside Executive Producers Sarah Eglin and Rebecca McLaughlin. The Commissioning Editors for the BBC are Clodagh O’Donoghue and Chantal Boyle.
Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury. will debut on BBC Three and iPlayer later this year.
