KSI appears ready to turn his attention to Tommy Fury in what would be a massive celebrity dust-up.
The YouTuber returned to the ring last weekend after three years out and made up for lost time by winning TWICE in one night.
Whereas Fury is yet to follow up on his most recent win in April following yet another cancelled grudge match with Jake Paul.
KSI named the 2019 Love Islander on his five-man hit-list, saying: “Tommy Fury – I want a piece of that.”
To which Fury responded: “You know where to find me.”
So here, SunSport looks at how the the two compare.

KSI, 29, first boxed in February 2018 beating online rival Joe Weller, 26, in three rounds of their white collar bout.
In the same year, he then drew with Logan Paul, 27, in a similar exhibition bout before the pair rematched in 2019.
They controversially turned professional, meaning the head guards came off and KSI went on to win by split-decision.
The social media sensation then took a break from boxing to focus on music, releasing two albums and headlining at the likes of Wembley.

He went on to beat Swarmz in two mismatched rounds at the start of the night and then stopped Mexican pro boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda in three.

He returned by beating Pole Daniel Bocianski, 27, on the undercard of brother Tyson’s Wembley knockout against Dillian Whyte.
“I’m definitely down to fight Tommy Fury, one hundred per cent.
Fury was then rescheduled his headline bout against Jake on August 6 but he was withdrawn again, this time amid a US visa issue.
His next fight is yet to be confirmed, although the unbeaten prospect is training again.
With eight professional wins, he has over double the experience that KSI does, who only started training less than five years ago.
But the pair are the same height and near enough in weight.
