TOMMY FURY has left legendary promoter Frank Warren to negotiate his next fight with KSI as a free agent.
Warren first snapped up the younger brother to heavyweight champion Tyson in 2018 when he turned professional.
And the Hall of Famer got Fury to 9-0 and secured him a lucrative celebrity grudge match against Jake Paul.
Ex-Love Islander Fury beat YouTuber-turned boxer Paul by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
But Warren revealed it was the final on their deal together, wishing him the best as he looks to now fight Paul’s bitter rival KSI next.
Warren told BT Sport: “We’re not involved in that. We’re not involved. We had our last fight with him, which was the last one.

“We had a good relationship but we’re doing our thing and he’s doing his thing and I wish him all the best because he’s a lovely fella.”
Paul, 26, snubbed a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
So Fury, 24, turned his attention to KSI, 30, and watched his last fight from ringside.
It ended in controversy when an accidental but illegal elbow knocked out nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.

The result was overturned from a KO to no-contest but still Fury and KSI went face-to-face in the ring.
And talks to make the fight happen soon followed with a deal closing in.
KSI told his Misfits Boxing 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.”
KSI’s 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.”
