      KSI VS FURY
      Did Tommy Fury ever date Maura Higgins?
      Fury and Higgins met on the fifth season of Love Island in 2019 and hit it off immediately.
      Maura came in as a bombshell and made a beeline for Fury on the very first night.
      The pair flirted on a date while Molly-Mae, who was coupled up with Fury at the time, had to watch on.
      Higgins eventually tried to plant a kiss on Fury’s lips, but to no avail, with the Manchester boxer choosing to stay loyal to Molly-Mae.

      In the end, Fury stuck with Molly and chose to keep his relationship with Maura platonic, and the pair have NEVER dated.
      Molly-Mae and Maura are now good friends and the latter even watched Fury’s win over Jake Paul at the former’s house.
      The pair are likely to be sat next to each other tonight at KSI vs Fury.
      Fury is engaged to Molly-Mae and the pair welcomed their daughter Bambi to the world in February. More

      And it set up a huge rematch in Manchester on the night KSI, Tommy Fury and Logan Paul were all in action.
      Deen was getting the better of “Sharks” – real name Walid Muhsein – and even had him down twice.
      But mid-fight the American overshot a punch and appeared to complain about an injury.
      Deen swiftly tuned southpaw and only used his right hand – leaving fans convinced he had suffered a dislocated shoulder.

      One said: “There’s something wrong with Deen’s left arm. His shoulder popped or something.”
      Another added: “Deen was bullying Walid and now he’s not throwing the left hand at all? Has he done his shoulder?”
      One commented: “Deen broke his arm or dislocated his shoulder there.”
      Eventually Deen got back to throwing his left hand as he appeared to shake off the injury.

      Walid, 19, came back into the contest in the last two rounds and had Deen, 23, desperately holding on down the stretch.
      But the Misfits lightweight champion’s prior knockdowns and early success saw him take the win on points.
      It looks to have settled their score with Deen walking away with two victorious over Walid.
