      And Fury already looks to be in fighting shape as he revealed a snap in the gym flexing his biceps – with fans already warning KSI.
      One said: “Holy f***, Ksi is finished.”
      Another added: “JJ is in trouble.”
      One asked: “How is he in the same weight class as KSI?”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Fury is coming off a split-decision win over KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul in February.
      But Paul, 26, snubbed a rematch to instead return against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, which he won over ten rounds on points.
      So KSI, 30, turned his attention to Fury, 24, and after four long months of negotiations, a deal was struck.
      KSI claimed Paul rejected the chance to settle their bitter score so it led him to challenge the American’s conqueror instead.

      “KO after KO has now led me to the toughest fight in the influencer boxing scene.

      I’ve fought Tommy Fury and he doesn’t have the heart of a fighter, don’t be surprised if he crumbles against KSI

      by

      It comes after he beat KSI’s arch enemy Jake Paul by split-decision in Saudi Arabia in February.
      But despite that victory, Fury’s former opponent Anthony Taylor – who he beat in 2021 – has hit out at the former Love Islander.
      Taylor, 34, told Neue Online Casinos: “This is a really, really close 50-50 match-up. Don’t be surprised if KSI knocks Tommy out.
      “We know Tommy can box a bit, but I can tell you from first hand experience, Tommy is like the lion in the wizard of Oz without a heart.

      “If KSI can make him uncomfortable, and stick with for those early rounds, and then land his power shots, don’t be surprised if Tommy crumbles and never gets back up.
      “He doesn’t have the heart of a fighter.”

      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury to instead return over the weekend against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      And Taylor – who formerly sparred the prankster-turned prizefighter – warned Diaz of his brutal power.

      He said: “I hear Jake Paul is looking superhuman in this camp, he’s training with killers and there’s no question he’s going to send Nate Diaz into retirement.
      “Respect to Diaz, he’s had a great career, but he’s not going to know what’s hit him when Jake detonates on his chin.
      “I’ve tasted Jake’s power and his right hand hits like a baseball bat.
      “Given Diaz’s age and how much smaller he is compared to Jake, I don’t see how Diaz can stand up to that kind of firepower.”

      Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, is the bookies’ favourite to win the Manchester melee.
