      It comes eight months after Fury beat KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul in their Saudi Arabia grudge match.
      And fans can expect a similar blockbuster event that has captured the boxing public’s attention.
      Here, SunSport runs down some predictions from the fight world.
      Jake Paul
      The American is still waiting to settle the score with KSI, 30, and has expressed an interest in rematching Fury, 24.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      So he will be a keen viewer next month but he only sees the fight going one way.
      Paul, 26, said: “I think Tommy knocks him out in like less than five rounds.”
      Prediction… Tommy Fury KO

      Anthony Joshua
      Joshua’s history with the Furys goes back years due to a long-standing rivalry with Tommy’s brother Tyson.
      Most read in Boxing
      And despite being friends with fellow Watford man KSI, it did not stop AJ giving a balanced prediction when asked.
      Joshua, 33, told Misfits Boxing: “That’s where it’s tough, experience plays a massive role in anyone’s approach to success.
      “But with God, with hard work and his raw ability who knows what could happen. With the support of the people that could push him on over the final line.”
      Prediction… Sitting on the fence

      Erling Haaland
      The Manchester City star has just been signed by KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime hydration drink.
      And he went on Paul’s podcast to announce the deal and he awkwardly backed Fury to beat KSI right in front of the YouTuber.
      Asked who will win, Haaland, 23, replied: “The other guy.”

      Eddie Hearn
      Hearn promoted KSI’s professional debut against Logan Paul in 2019, which he won by scrappy split-decision.
      He has since stepped away from the celebrity boxing world but continues to wade in on the debate.
      Hearn told SecondsOut: “I think it’s going to be a good fight, it’s going to do massive numbers and it’s live on DAZN.”
      Prediction… Everyone will make money

      Amir Khan
      Khan, 36, is no stranger to a big fight himself and he has backed Fury to do a demolition job.
      He told SecondsOut: “He comes from a boxing family, I think he’s a better fighter and I think he’s definitely got the skill set and the power to knockout these influencers.
      “I think it’s a mismatch, really. Because he’s the fighter and he’s the one who has been doing it from young.
      “I think this is where these influencers can get hurt one day, when they take risky fights against proper boxers. They’re going to get hurt.”
      Prediction… Fury by demolition

      David Haye
      The Hayemaker has made a name for himself with dodgy predictions over the years so this could be bad news for KSI.
      But Haye, 42, tipped KSI to beat Fury right after he knocked out Joe Fournier with an accidental but illegal elbow in their May fight.
      He said on iFL TV: “I think he beats Tommy Fury. And if he’s allowed elbows as well, for sure.
      “Even without the elbows, I think he definitely beats Tommy Fury. With his timing and rhythm, I was really impressed.”
      Prediction… KSI for the win

      Derek Chisora
      Chisora has a strained history with the Furys having lost three times to Tyson while he is a friend and training partner of KSI’s.
      So it is no shock that Chisora, 39, told talkSPORT: “It’s not like he’s in and out of the gym, no, no. He wants to win this fight.
      “On top of that, JJ doesn’t have yes men around him. It’s going to be a good fight.
      “This fight, I see a knockout, and I see the knockout coming for my friend JJ. He’s got more power in both hands than before.”
      Prediction… KSI by KO

      Idris Virgo
      Virgo had a scuffle with Fury at KSI’s last fight but he believes his sparring partner will take care of business on his behalf.
      He told Pro Boxing Fans: “I don’t need to worry about him anymore because my boy KSI, he’s going to deal with him on October 14th.
      “I’m going to sit back ringside watch that fight and be like, ‘Told you bro, you just got knocked out by KSI, a YouTuber.’ So I can’t wait.”
      Prediction… KSI by KO

      Conor Benn
      The unbeaten welterweight, 26, reckons the fight is a lot closer than people believe but he just gives the edge to Fury.
      He said on SecondsOut: “It’s a hard fight for both, I think.

      “It’s a 50-50 fight. I’m not picking, I’m sitting on the fence because I like Tommy and I like KSI.” 
      “You’d think Tommy would win, you’d think. So, I’ll maybe go 55 per cent Tommy, 45 per cent KSI.”

      And his partner – who has so far remained secret and out of the public eye – was left in fear of the fight.
      So much so that she demanded to watch KSI in sparring to put her at ease and according to the man himself he passed with flying colours.
      KSI told streamer Adin Ross: “I’ll tell you this – my girlfriend was very, very nervous, very, very nervous.
      “She was like, ‘I don’t know about this Tommy fight, I’m f***ing terrified, Tommy’s a big guy, I saw what he did to Jake. I’m not sure about this fight, can I see you spar?’

      “She saw me spar – I sparred terribly – and she was like, ‘Oh my f***ing God I get it. Oh my f***ing God, you’re going to f***ing annihilate him.’
      “I sparred terribly, mum’s life I sparred terribly. This week I sparred terribly and she was like, ‘Yeah, I f***ing understand.’
      “Fam, even when I spar poorly I still win, I still do well, I still f***ing put my all into it and I still beat people.”
      KSI’s girlfriend has chosen to keep their relationship private despite the superstar fame of her boyfriend.

      The social media sensation – who has never lost in boxing – opened up on their partnership on Good Morning Britain.
      He said: “For me, I keep my private things very, very private. I have a girlfriend and she’s very private, we keep things quiet. 
      “Whenever I spend time with her, it’s all about her. Even with my family, I like to do things privately and it’s just making sure that whenever I need to be out in the public eye.”

      Tyson Fury thinks it’s ‘sad’ Mike Tyson is ‘going against him’ after being named after boxing legend

      But they will be in opposite corners on October 28 in Saudi Arabia when Tyson corners Ngannou against the Gypsy King.
      And Fury hit back to Sky Sports: “I think that it’s sad, actually.
      “The man that I am named after, a legend, has to go against me and then come out as a loser, having lost to a man who was named after him.
      “I think that it’s sad and I think that he should be in my corner, not the opposing corner, but business is business and I understand that it’s strictly business.”

      The two heavyweight superstars will collide in a massive crossover clash in the boxing ring.
      It comes after Ngannou, 37, walked out on the UFC to pursue the mega-money boxing switch.
      But Fury, 35, insisted no matter who will be on his coaching team it will matter little to the outcome of the fight.
      He added: “No matter what he teaches this fella, no matter how much boxing training he does, everyone has got a plan until they get punched in the face.

      “And I’m not sure who said that, but that is true. They’ve all got a plan until they get smacked in the mouth.”
      Fury guessed that his career is so legendary it has led Tyson to plot his downfall by coaching against him.
      He said: “I must have said something to offend him.
      “I haven’t spoke to him, but it must be that I’ve outdone him, longer-reigning champion than he was. Maybe he’s upset about that. I don’t know.”

      Social media sensation KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – goes into his showdown with Tommy as a huge underdog.

      During a live stream with the controversial Adin Ross, he said: “I’m trying to put a million down on myself.”
      KSI quickly revealed that bookmakers will allow him to bet on himself, just not the eyewatering figure he wants to lay down.

      British boxing fans are still eager for the pair to settle their feud, although Fury currently has no interest in the once-in-a-lifetime domestic dust-up.
      The WBC heavyweight champ, 35, told The Daily Mail: “I don’t really care what he says. He’s a bum in my opinion.
      “He’s just one big bum-dosser that has been knocked out three times.
      “He’s been knocked out twice and had three losses. He can’t even compare in my league any more.

      “It’s not even a fight I am thinking about any more. I’m not even interested.”
      Fury and Joshua were on course to take part in a two-fight series before Deontay Wilder won his arbitration for a trilogy fight with the former.
      AJ went on to suffer back-to-back defeats to unified heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk after the fight collapsed.
      Fury said of the Watford warrior’s recent woes: “That bubble has been burst.

      “His virginity has been taken away so it’s not interesting for me any more.
      “He’s been spanked by Usyk twice and been beaten by a fat man.
      “So it’s not in my interest to beat him.”
      Fury has held up the division by taking a controversial crossover clash with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who he meets in Saudi Arabia on October 28.
      And he insists the Predator poses more of a threat than AJ ever would, saying: “I am fighting a guy who is in his prime, who is a champion.

      “Who is bigger than him, who is stronger than him and who is a bigger knockout puncher than him.
      “He needs to get to the back of the queue. That fight is gone, it’s dead.
      “That fight was off the cards as soon as he got beaten.”

      Shock Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk date revealed by Gypsy King’s promoter who insists Ukrainian star ‘wants the fight’

      by

      TYSON FURY’S long-overdue undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk could take place as early as December.Fury’s constant moving of the goalposts during negotiations earlier this year laid waste to the pair’s proposed April Wembley war.

      That paved the way for the Gypsy King to throw down with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a controversial crossover clash next month.
      Team Fury are treating the lucrative Saudi showdown as a potential warm-up fight and aren’t ruling out a quick turnaround for an end-of-year straightener with boxing’s former pound-for-pound king.
      When asked for a potential date for the fight, Fury co-promoter Bob Arum told Sky Sports: “Probably be early next year, but it could happen as early as December.”
      Arum expects both sides to come to a quick and amicable agreement when talks eventually resume – despite the farcical public negotiations that took place earlier this year.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The 91-year-old Top Rank chief insisted: “It won’t be hard to make. I know the Usyk people, they’re nice people.
      “His manager, his promoter, they’re terrific people. Usyk himself is a terrific guy. I think he wants that fight.
      “I think that fight’s going to happen and hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.”
      Should Fury become the first undisputed ruler of the heavyweight division since Lennox Lewis 24 years ago, Arum expects him to have “two more fights” before calling it quits.

      The veteran promoter said: “I would like to see him (Fury) fight Usyk.
      “I think once he fights Usyk, and assuming he beats Usyk, then I think he’ll do a victory lap, maybe two more fights, and let the younger guys take over.”
      Arum’s hopes to have Fury unify the division once and for all, however, could be scuppered by the Wythenshawe warrior himself.
      Fury, 35, recently told The Daily Mail: “I am not interested in fighting Usyk, he’s a little Ukrainian dosser.
      “That’s all he is to me. No interest in unifying the division. It doesn’t mean s*** to me.

      “All that stuff about unifying and whatever, it really doesn’t mean anything to me.
      “I am looking for the biggest payday. Most of the time, Usyk doesn’t cut it.
      “He’s just a foreign person who doesn’t speak good English, so you can’t really sell him.
