Boxer and have been locked in a bitter feud for a while, which resulted in them going head to head in the ring last year.
But it seems Jake, 27, was willing to go below the belt when he made a public dig at Tommy following the former Love Island star's split with his fiancé . Molly and Tommy, who share a daughter together, first met on in 2019 but in August this year, Molly shared with fans that her relationship had ended, after five years together.
Although he appeared to be keen to not want to comment on his it didn't take long before he made his true feelings known. In an interview with The Sun, he explained: "I don’t want to dive into someone’s personal life like that but I hope they’re figuring it out and they figure it out with the kids and everything but I’m still going to beat his ass as a single father."
When asked if he thought Tommy had devalued himself, he seemed unable to hold back. He continued: "He definitely continues to devalue himself over time, saying no to the opportunity was probably the dumbest thing a boxer in history has done." He added: "Like you literally turned down the biggest platform and now he’s got caught cheating and got divorced and now he is a single father."
At the time of Tommy and Molly's public break up, Jake waded in and went as far as to offer a position as an ambassador of his W line of men's health products. Taking to social media, Jake wrote: "It’s not a bad idea, Molly-Mae – we’re going to bring you in on W. I just hope they’re figuring it out and figuring it out with the kid and stuff like that. But, I’m still going to beat his ass as a single father."
At the time, Molly issued a statement on social media that read: "Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this. After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way. I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end."
She went on: "I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. "
She added: "You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all. Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I’ll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae." And in his own statement, Tommy, who is the half brother of boxing champion , said he was "heartbroken" over his split with Molly-Mae.
