TOMMY FURY claimed he was done with crossover boxing after beating KSI – then immediately called out the Paul brothers for a fight.
The former Love Island star vowed to end crossover boxing by defeating the YouTuber, which he did via a split decision at the Manchester Arena last night.
It is the second time Fury has defeated a YouTuber in the ring this year, having also beaten Jake Paul on points in February.
After defeating KSI the 24-year-old promised he was finished with crossover fighting, yet seconds later challenged Jake and his brother Logan Paul to a fight.
He told DAZN: “He goes his way I go mine. I’m done with all this s***. All this crossover s***. I’m not part of that, I’m here to fight and we go on to the next challenge now.”
Asked if that meant it was his last crossover fight, he explained: “I’m done with the bulls***. F*** the bulls****, on to the next challenge. Any of the Pauls want it I welcome it with open arms.”

KSI, 30, wants a rematch after claiming Fury’s win was a “robbery”.
He believes he should have won as he told his opponent he barely landed a punch, while Fury also had a point deducted for punching KSI in the back of his head.
However he could miss out on a rematch if Fury sets his sights on Logan Paul, who beat Dillon Danis after the MMA star was disqualified.
Paul, 28, dominated the contest with Danis barely throwing a punch – the fight descended into chaos when Danis tried an MMA-style takedown on the YouTuber.

But Paul also has plans of his own in WWE as he called out US champion Rey Mysterio for a fight.
Fury has ten professional wins under his belt and still has his sights set on emulating brother Tyson by becoming world champion.
He said before the fight: “It’s easy money. Anybody else in my position wouldn’t turn it down. Even world champions.
“These YouTube fights are not my highest point in life. I’m here to do a lot more than that.
“Tyson first fought for a world title at 27, I’m still years off that. So I don’t know who is going to be around and whoever does have the belt, I want to challenge for it. 100 per cent. I’ve not trained all my life [to stop now].
“Don’t forget I was a boxer before this YouTube stuff came about. I’ve not trained all my life to get in the ring with a YouTuber and get a good payday.
“I’ve trained to be world champion. When all these fights have been and gone, I’m still going to pursue that.”
