TOMMY FURY trained 12 “hard rounds” with brother Tyson – but he was mocked by KSI as they close in on their fight.
Fury is in the gym as he edges towards a deal to face YouTuber, rapper and boxer KSI.
He posted a series of pictures alongside his brother with the caption: “12 hard rounds in the bag.”
But KSI took the opportunity to mock the 2019 Love Island star.
He took a clip of Fury’s exhibition bout against Rolly Lambert last year and wrote: “12 “hard” rounds.”
Fury, 24, beat Jake Paul, 26, by split-decision in their celebrity grudge match in February in Saudi Arabia.

But Paul snubbed a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC fighter Nate Diaz, 38.
So Fury has turned his attention to KSI, 30, who revealed talks are progressing between them.
He told his Misfits Boxing YouTube channel: “I am training for that fight.
“Negotiations are going back and forth, we’re just waiting on Tommy essentially.

“We’ve just gotta do a few things to make sure it’s all perfect, but it’s very, very close.
“I’m training, I’m getting ready for that fight, that’s what I want.”
His manager Mams Taylor added: “We’ve gone back and forth and negotiated and now we’ve agreed to all the changes that they’ve requested.
“I don’t think there’s anything more other than for the ink to dry for both guys to make this happen.”
