Tommy Fury announced his newborn son’s name with “Midas” emblazoned on his fight kit as he walked to the ring to take on former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have announced the name of their newborn son in style tonight.
Molly-Mae had suggested her partner would reveal the name on his fight shorts when he walked to the ring to take on strongman Eddie Hall in Manchester tonight. And Fury did exactly that with “Midas” emblazoned on his fight kit as he walked to the ring to England’s football anthem It’s Coming Home.
Fury and Hague, who met on the ITV dating show Love Island, had their first daughter Bambi in January 2023 with Hague announcing she was pregnant with their second child in February. On Wednesday, the pair revealed the news in a joint Instagram post which featured the trio admiring the new member of their family in a black and white photograph.
So what exactly is the meaning behind Midas?
The meaning behind Midas
Midas refers to a legendary king of Phrygia from Greek mythology who was granted the wish that everything he touched turn to gold.
In Greek and Roman legend, King Midas of Phrygia is famous for his foolishness and greed. After performing a favor for the god Dionysus, he was granted any wish and chose the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. He quickly realized the curse of this gift when he accidentally turned his food, drink, and even his daughter to gold.
This myth gave rise to the common phrase “the Midas touch,” which describes someone who is exceptionally successful or profitable in their endeavors.
It was a great night for Tommy, not only from a personal perspective, but from a professional stance as he controversially outpointed giant strongman Eddie Hall with fans left furious with the result.
