KSI and Tommy Fury agree to fight NEXT before brawl breaks out in ring after YouTuber’s controversial Joe Fournier win


KSI and Tommy Fury kicked off their build-up the latest celebrity blockbuster boxing bout with an argy bargy face-off.

Fury, who beat KSI’s main rival Jake Paul in February, took a ringside seat at Wembley Arena to watch the YouTuber in action.

Both appeared to ignore the fact the fight ended with Joe Fournier being knocked out with an accidental but illegal blow.

They followed the script and went face to face for the first time in the ring – and struck an agreement to fight.

KSI, 29, said: “I want this, I want to do what Jake Paul couldn’t; knock you out.”

Fury, 24, replied: “That’s never, ever gonna happen. All I can say is, sign me up. Easy money, easy money.

“You are going to sleep in four rounds. Four rounds, asleep. gung ho, no defence, no head movement. Knocked out.”

Fournier, a 40-year-old nightclub tycoon-turned fighter, was on paper KSI’s first opponent with boxing experience.

But Fury, 24, was quick to discredit the legitimacy of KSI’s win.

He said: “Guess what? You didn’t beat a pro boxer tonight, I’m the pro boxer, let’s get that straight.

“I’ve already ticked off one name in Jake Paul, he’s done, he’s finished and you will be ticked off.

“Like it or not you will be ticked off and Misfits is going to be over.”

KSI hit back: “No chance.” Before a bumping of the heads obviously caused the pair to begin pushing each other.

It remains to be seen whether Fournier will content his controversial loss but KSI denied landing an illegal blow.

He said: “I hit him with a massive shot and he was dazed, he was scrambling trying to hold onto me for dear life.”
