The Love Island fan-favorite couple announced their breakup after five years together on Aug. 14, and on Oct. 10, the 25-year-old boxer admitted that things have been "tough" over the last two months in his first TV interview since the split.
"Everyone will point the finger when there's a bandwagon to jump on, but at the end of the day, out of respect to Molly and out of respect to myself, and you know, our relationship and to us, I'm gonna let us deal with that in private as much as we can," Fury said on ITV's This Morning of the speculation that's occurred surrounding the reason behind his split from Hague, 25.
"There's been a lot of critics out there, and there'll be critics out there til the day I die."
