BOXING fans aren’t confident about KSI’s chances in a showdown with Tommy Fury.
The YouTuber turned boxer is chasing a multi-million-pound clash with the former Love Island star – the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – is already back in the gym training for a potential rematch with recent foe Joe Fournier.
But his recent workout on the heavy bag did little to convince fight fans that he’ll get the better of Fury.
KSI found himself inundated with criticism after his gym – London Shootfighters – shared a clip of him ripping combinations on the bag to Instagram.
One person commented: “He can’t fight Tommy surely?”

Another said: “Both feet off the floor Throwing that last punch.
“Jesus, he’s gonna get smoked by Tommy.”
Another said: “Head is open for shots other than that, sharp.”
Another chimed in: “He does need to keep his hands up when defending shots but looking sharp.”

Although he has Fury firmly in his sights, a rematch with Fournier will most likely be the 29-year-old’s next fight.
The social media sensation accidentally knocked out the self-proclaimed billionaire with a brutal elbow last month.
And boxing authorities recently OVERTURNED his second-round knockout victory to a No Contest.
In a statement after the fight, KSI said: “I worked very hard for this fight and had an intense and gruelling camp.
“There’s no better feeling than being in that ring and having my hand raised in front of my loyal and amazing fans, who I appreciate very much.
“Unfortunately, the victory, which was inevitable no matter what, is tarnished and I hate that. It sucks!”
“After landing my overhand right, he was pretty much out on his feet and I went for a short right hook as Joe clinched me and fell into me.
“I landed that hook and the glove made contact but appears to have been followed by unintentional contact with my forearm.

“I’m gutted that it’s not as clean a win as I wanted and it feels like it diminishes my hard work with my trainers.”
After seeing his win over Fournier get scrubbed from the record books, he tweeted: “Still undefeated. Feels good man.”
