Tony made fun of his opponent prior to one of his renowned matches in the ring by saying: “I’m more frightened of my missus than you. I wouldn’t f***ing dare cross her. I wouldn’t mess with her.

“I will say one thing, I fear no man. I don’t give a f*** about any man on this planet. I would fight any man. I tell you what though, I don’t go home to her with a penny short.

“She’s my toughest fight. I said this [fight] would be my last one… That’s a real fight, persuading her if I can carry on.”

Rachael and Tony met when they were just nine years old and grew up together in the surrounding Merseyside communities.

Years later, Tony, then 18 years old, met Rachael after a night out, which ignited their romance.

At the time, he was employed as a nightclub bouncer and fell deeply in love.

Rachael turned him down three times, but in the end, she realized he was the one.

An individual with knowledge of childhood sweethearts stated: “Their first date was a trip to the cinema and a milkshake before it.

“Rachael told him that if he wasn’t the perfect gentleman to her on the date, he’d blow his only chance.

“So right from the off it was clear to him that she was a strong woman who didn’t take any nonsense.”

Rachael has remained strong ever since, and her ardent defense of her husband has gained notoriety today.

Tony was a small-time amateur fighter who earned only £100 from each battle at the beginning of their relationship, so his path to the top wasn’t easy.

In addition to working shifts in retail, security, and even a pillow factory, he had to take on a number of low-paying jobs to make ends meet, including laborer and lifeguard.

Rachael stayed by Tony the entire time, and in the end, his perseverance paid off.

He eventually turned pro in 2007 after emerging victorious from around 50 fights in the early 2000s.

As his career took off, Tony made friends with Wayne Rooney, his Everton favorite and fellow Liverpudlian who served as his idol.

At a low-key, private ceremony held at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire in 2018, he finally sealed the knot with Rachel.

All that matters to him are his wife and three children, Carter, Cobey, and Corey.

The Sun’s Informant clarified:

“Because he’s been with her since they were teenagers, Rachael’s extremely confident and assured about her place in the relationship and there’s no doubt she’s the one who wears the trousers.

“In truth, he may be the breadwinner, but she’s the one who runs the ship behind closed doors and that’s the way he likes it.
