KSI has sent a warning over to Jake Paul ahead of his long-awaited fight with Tommy Fury.
The YouTube-turned-boxer carved the way for the likes of Paul to break into boxing scene, though Paul has increased the coverage events involving influencers can attract.
Fury, brother of heavyweight champ Tyson, has finally seen a bout against Paul confirmed after the previous two occasions when the pair were meant to fight were cancelled.
But with a third attempt now pencilled in for next month, KSI has revealed he will be watching the fight, revealed his plan depending on the outcome.
Speaking on an Instagram live to his fans, KSI said: “Obviously a lot of people want me to comment on Fury vs Jake Paul.
“I’ll watch it, I’m going to be watching, keeping a close eye, seeing if Jake is improved or seeing what he’s going to do, seeing what he does. I want to see if Jake wins.”

He added: “If Tommy wins, I’m going to be fighting Tommy, simple as that.”

“For me it’s always about being the best, I have a goal of fighting three fights this year and I’d have to do more than I said I would do [to fight both].
“I’m a busy guy, there’s only so much I can do. People forget that boxing isn’t everything.
“I’ve got Sidemen stuff, uploads on my YouTube channel, I’ve still got to release music, do tours and festivals etc so for me the goal is fighting the best at the end of the year and if it’s Tommy or if it’s Jake we get it cracking.
“That’s why I always say it’s all on the line, every fight is dangerous.”
However, Love Island star Fury has previously insisted Paul will be the only YouTube personality he fights before returning to fight career boxers.
He said: “I made it very clear when all of this stuff started going on with Jake Paul that he is the only [YouTuber] I would ever fight.
“I want to fight legitimate fighters, win titles and go down in history by having my name remembered.
“Fighting Jake Paul doesn’t do that, he’s a man who thinks he can make some money from boxing and see what happens.”
