TOMMY FURY took a ringside seat to watch KSI’s fight with Joe Fournier up close and personal.
YouTube sensation KSI returns to the ring tonight against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Fournier at Wembley Arena.
And he has already eyed up Fury as his next opponent – and it appears both are on board.
The 2019 Love Islander rocked up in London to much fanfare and kickstarted his scouting mission of KSI.
KSI had hoped to finally settle his bitter score with Jake Paul this year but Fury gave those plans the KO by beating the American.
And Paul has since snubbed a rematch or talks with KSI to instead return on August 5 against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.

And Fury’s dad and coach John also confirmed that negotiations are nearing completion.
He said live on DAZN: We’re talking to his people, they are talking to me, we’re close.”

Fury, 24, beat Paul, 26, in February by split-decision in Saudi Arabia to hand the self-proclaimed Problem Child his first loss.
And he claimed having done so, KSI, 29, should be an easy night’s work.
Fury, who also bumped into old rival Paul Bamba, said: “In my opinion out of all this influencer boxing stuff, I beat the top of the tree.
“Jake Paul’s the best out of all of these, so all this now is easy money baby.”
