Tommy, 23, dedicated the win to his girlfriend and newborn daughter, saying: “I want to dedicate this fight to my new baby girl Bambi at home and my Mrs, I love you.”
He also paid tribute to the baby as he walked into the ring in Saudi Arabia - by wearing a robe bearing her name on it.
Tommy, extending his unbeaten record to nine, won in a split decision. One judge scored the bout at the Diriyah Arena, in Diriyah, 75-74 to Jake, with the other two scoring it 76-73 to Tommy.
Jake, 26, had knocked Tommy down in the eighth round.
"For the past two years this is all that has consumed my life," an emotional Tommy said on BT Sport.
"Everybody thought I was running scared but tonight I made my own legacy."
Tommy added: "This is my first main event, I am going to get bigger and better and if he wants a rematch, bring it on."
Jake was gracious in defeat, but did call for a rematch, saying: "All respect to Tommy, he won. I think we deserve that rematch. I don't know if I agree with the judges. I got a 10-8 round twice… I felt flat, I got sick really bad twice in this camp, injured my arm. But I lost, I'm not making excuses."
Jake, who now has a loss to his unbeaten record, added: " Don't judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. "I don't know if I agree with the judges, it is what it is but that is the boxing world."
