For putting up with him being away on training as they became first-time parents, Tommy Fury says Molly-Mae Hague deserves more praise.
In a multi-million pound match on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, the boxer will square off against YouTuber Jake Paul.
The couple's daughter Bambi was born to Molly-Mae and Tommy last month, but Tommy claims he's been busy training for the fight.
He tells Newsbeat that Molly has decided to handle everything on her own.
I haven't been bothered by her once about anything.
She's been fantastic, without a doubt. People ought to take notice of that, in my opinion, and give her a lot of credit. ".
The fight between the two has been scheduled three times; the first two dates fell through due to Tommy's visa problems and his injury.
He claims that defeating Jake Paul is so crucial that he was unable to leave his training camp, even after the birth of their first child.
You can't leave training camp, says Tommy, because the fight is so important.
And these are the types of sacrifices I made in preparation for this. What can you do given the circumstances?
Jake Paul posted the news before Tommy and Molly had officially announced the fight, saying there were "no excuses, the baby has been born.".
When we saw it, there were about 20 million people speculating about it, so we weren't that bothered, says Tommy.
"He didn't know anything, and since he was in the US, Molly and I thought it was a wise move. ".
The fight is happening in Saudi Arabia, a country with strict restrictions on what women can do and laws against homosexuality.
The nation has recently hosted a number of significant boxing matches, and it has been charged with sportwashing, or using these events to enhance its international reputation.
Tommy states, "I can only come here and speak on my experience.
They haven't been able to do enough for us, but so far it's been amazing. Everything we needed has always been available at a moment's notice.
"There is so much on offer out here, and they're all trying to be the best, so I think this will be the epicenter of sport in the future.". ".
