KSI and Tommy Fury are the next two celebrity stars to meet in a boxing blockbuster.
Fury is fresh off a victory over rival Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia last February, emerging with bragging rights in the form of a split-decision.
Meanwhile, KSI helped launch the booming crossover boxing business with his pair of bouts with Paul’s older brother Logan.
But his grudge match with Fury has been billed as the biggest bout of them all and it goes down on October 14 in Manchester.
The fight – aired on DAZN PPV – is sure to bring in millions and add to the pair’s growing net worths.
Here, SunSport runs down how much both KSI and Fury are worth heading into their Battle of Britain.

What is KSI’s net worth?
The Londoner, 30, shot to fame on YouTube but he has since crossed over to the sporting, music and business world.
He has had two albums – with one going to No1 in the charts – all while fighting in the ring.
KSI also launched Misfits Boxing to host crossover-style bouts between stars of the sports and celeb world.
But perhaps his most lucrative venture has been the Prime hydration drink with ex-opponent Logan.

According to Forbes, KSI made £19.7million in 2023 alone with his exact net worth unknown.
What is Fury’s net worth?
Fury, 24, debuted in the sport with big boots to fill as the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson.
But he shot to national fame in 2019 after entering popular reality TV show Love Island where he met now fiancee Molly-Mae Hague.
His rising popularity saw Paul take notice and led to a massive box office grudge match between the two, which Fury won on points.
Fury is believed to have made around £4m for the bout and his American rival claimed the Brit is earning £1.5m to fight KSI.
What are the fight purses?
The exact purse for either man is not yet known.
But KSI is believed to be on a deal that includes PPV bonuses so his money could be made once the box office receipts are added up.
Meanwhile, Dillon Danis – fighting on the undercard – said both he and Fury are being paid a flat fee.

On Paul’s podcast, he said: “KSI is offering you like $1.5m which is way underpaid for Tommy, especially coming off that win. Tommy should be making $5-6m and it’s crazy and bizarre to me that Tommy is even entertaining that.”
But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor hit back: “Absolute nonsense! This kid is so sour.”
