KSI and Tommy Fury are set to finally clash this weekend on a colossal night for influencer boxing.
Social media mogul KSI is coming off a controversial no contest against Joe Fournier back in May in which he accidentally used his elbow to originally claim a KO win.
Fury, on the other hand, won the fight of his life against Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia back in February, but is now looking to put an end to the influencer space once and for all.
KSI hasn’t made his desire to one day fight Paul a secret, but for now he’d rather do the one thing the Problem Child couldn’t do by beating Fury.
Fury and KSI faced off in the ring after the latter’s win over Fournier in scenes which set the landscape alight.
And now they’ll face off on a mega night of action in Manchester, with Jake’s brother Logan Paul also on the card!

What has been said?
“I came back to boxing to show the world the crazy levels I’m at,” KSI said.
“I’ve shown through obliterating all my past opponents that I am the best in this scene.
“KO after KO has now led me to the toughest fight in the influencer boxing scene. I’m fighting Tommy Fury.
“The man that defeated the once undefeated Jake Paul is now my opponent and I can’t wait to silence all the doubters that believe I have no chance. After this fight, you’ll understand that I truly am that guy.”
Fury said: “I’ve already beaten Jake Paul and so all that is left for me to do is send this man to sleep. I’ll do that inside four rounds. This is easy money.”
Jake Paul has also given his prediction.
Paul said: “I think Tommy knocks him out in like less than five rounds.
“I mean [KSI] is doing these gimmick WWE fights up until now.
“Tommy is his first real test, but who knows, he might throw an elbow on Tommy, too.”
