KSI has predicted Tommy Fury will ‘s*** himself on the big stage’ as he backed arch rival Jake Paul to win the celebrity grudge match.
Paul and Fury have signed and confirmed their anticipated fight on December 18 in Miami.
It has captured the attention of the YouTube and reality TV scene and was discussed by British social media star KSI and his ‘Sidemen’ group.
He said: “Yeah, I see Tommy losing, you know why? I see him s***ing himself on the big stage.”
Fury, 22, comes into the fight more experienced at 7-0, but Paul, 24, is now entering his third consecutive pay-per-view headliner.
He has wins over YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
But his last win was over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in a homecoming Cleveland fight.
Fury will be his first opponent of prior professional boxing experience and even his dad and trainer John raised the question of dealing with the big moment.

He said to BT Sport: “It’s make or break, for both men, but it’ll hit Tommy harder because Tommy’s supposed to be a professional boxer.
“Tommy will work hard, he’ll do what he’s gotta do. Has Tommy got the skill to beat him? Yes. Has he got the power to knock him out? Yes.
“All it is with Tommy – he’s young, can he handle the big occasion on the night?”
KSI, 28, beat Paul’s brother Logan, 26, in their rematch a year after they drew in a 2018 exhibition.
And he agreed Fury, who featured on the 2019 series of Love Island, has all the tools to win, but has to hold his nerve.
KSI said: “I think that’s it, he knows you’ve got everything, you’re ready, you could f*** him up, but will you be able to act on the night? And he’s just not sure.”
