    KSI AGREES to Tommy Fury’s ‘take-it-or-leave it’ fight offer… but YouTube star has controversial demand

    KSI has AGREED to Tommy Fury’s “take-it-or-leave it” fight offer – but under one condition. The celebrity pair were locked in negotiations for an all-British bout in Manchester.
    Tommy Fury facing off with KSICredit: Leigh Dawney/Misfits Boxing
    But KSI came out and threw doubt over the fight by revealing a disagreement in weight.
    He accused Fury of trying to change it from 180lb to 185lb and admitted it could be axed because of it.
    And on Instagram, Fury hit back: “Now he’s complaining about the weight. This fight’s at 185, take-it-or-leave it.”
    So KSI has appeared to bite the bullet and accepted the weight – so long as there is an on the day weigh in too.
    READ MORE IN boxing
    He tweeted: “Tommy, I wanna KO your ass so badly that I’ll come up in weight and do 185 lbs if you agree to do the weigh in on the morning of fight day.
    “Nice fair fight. If not you will forever be known as Tommy Ducky.”
    For KSI’s last fight against nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, it was at 180lb.
    But there was a 10lb rehydration clause, meaning the two could not go over 190lb for the second weigh in just hours before the bout.

    KSI, 30, went on to knock out Fournier, 40, with an accidental but illegal elbow, with the result being overturned to a no-contest.
    But a rematch was snubbed so he could turn his attention to Fury, 24, who in February beat KSI’s YouTube rival Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia.
    Fury is yet to respond to KSI’s rehydration clause but originally he was given until Monday to sign the fight contract.

    The Brit was staying in a villa in Marbella, southern Spain, when the robbery is said to have taken place, although he was not in the building at the time.
    Norris, 23, was holidaying with social media influencer Jennie Dimova, who has since spoken about the alleged incident online.
    Speaking ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday, he said: “We were out for dinner and our place got robbed.
    “A mixture of many things were stolen. Some were expensive and some were not so expensive.

    “It is still an ongoing investigation so I cannot say too much.”
    Dimova, who is reportedly dating Norris’ close pal and fellow driver Max Fewtrell, took to her TikTok page on Sunday evening to describe events.
    She said: “If you’re wondering why I look like that, it’s because our villa got robbed.
    “And everything I’ve ever owned: my bags, my clothes, my shoes, my jewellery, everything is f*****g taken.

    “I’m left with literally nothing after collecting this stuff for f******g years. So, you know what? I mean, I cried for like two hours but, what can I f*****g do?”
    The McLaren driver, 23, was targeted for his Richard Mille timepiece – one of only five in the world – as he walked to his £165,000 McLaren GT after the Euro 2020 final.
    The Richard Mille “prototype limited edition McLaren watch”, also known as the RM6702, was the only one in the world with a blue strap made to measure for the driver’s wrist.
    Despite never being made available for sale, the designer estimates the value to be around £144,000 – excluding VAT.
    Liam Williams, 25, from Merseyside has denied robbing the Belgian-British F1 star on July 11, 2021, when he appeared in court last week.
    Norris is currently struggling this season and has only scored 12 points after eight races.
    Last weekend he finished outside the points in Montreal, after he finished in a disappointing 17th place in Barcelona at the start of June.
    The McLaren driver is currently dating Luisinha Oliveira.

    Since embarking on a different career – from social media star to pay-per-view boxing villain – Paul’s car collection has grown extensively.
    Here’s his fine collection of cars in full, including one he broke after just ONE day.
    Ferrari 296 GTB, £330,000
    The first thing you want to do when you splash the cash on a car worth over £300,000 is drive it carefully.
    Forget that. After waiting 18 months to get his hands on a Ferrari 296 GTB, Paul managed to break it after one day.

    Having done one too many doughnuts, the “low beam failure” warning popped up and the American was advised to go back to the dealer.
    He said: “I broke the car, guys.”
    Paul added: “I don’t know if I was supposed to drive it that hard on the first day. It literally just says, ‘Go to dealership.’ Straight up.
    “Like nothing else, just like, ‘You’ve ruined the car. Go to the dealership now.'”

    On a recent shopping spree, he also got his hands on a £600,000 SF90 Spider and a 1958 Ford Fairlane, which can cost up to £70,000.
    LAMBORGHINI HURACAN, £165,000
    In 2018, Paul, 25, treated himself to a flashy supercar.
    And his bright blue Lamborghini Huracan Performante really is the most lavish thing he’s been seen behind the wheel of.
    Although he had to wait six months to get his hands on one, when it arrived the social media influencer declared it his ‘dream car’ and shot a video revealing his ’emotion’ that driving a Lambo was about to become a reality.
    Performance-wise, when Paul took it for a spin, he wouldn’t have been disappointed either.
    Boasting 631bhp, it’s capable of reaching 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 212mph.
    Paul is a huge fan of Lamborghini
    TESLA MODEL X, £80,000

    And the wealthier ones are now swapping their Toyota Prius for a much-more stylish Tesla Model X.
    Paul got his custom-wrapped by West Coast Customs Design – who famously looked after a host of celebs on MTV’s Pimp My Ride.
    The one-of-a-kind car also has carbon accents and sandblasted details, meaning it stands out from the crowd.

    ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM, £360,000
    It’s not all fast or eco-friendly cars for Jake.
    The internet personality has also been seen showing off a classic Rolls-Royce Phantom in white.
    It was a make he was first seen driving back in 2018 alongside brother Logan, when the pair appeared at a celeb bash in a gold Ghost model.
    Smitten by the luxury of it, Jake added a £360,000 Phantom to his collection. And why not.

    TOYOTA TACOMA, £40,000
    Nothing beats going off-road.
    That’s why Paul also has a sturdy SUV in his Toyota Tacoma in white that would’ve cost him around £40,000.
    A standard Tacoma boasts a 2.7-liter I-4 engine producing 159 HP and 180 lb-ft of torque.
    Judging by his Instagram, it’s Paul’s go-to motor when he wants to have some fun.

    FORD FOCUS RS, FROM £22,000
    After he scored success with West Coast Customs Design with his Model X, Jake returned with his cherished Ford Focus RS.
    Originally, he had it wrapped in black. But he wanted a change – and what he got was something completely different.
    It really is a showstopper and even has his name inscribed on the Continental tyres that were fitted new.
    Because of its colours, he nicknames the car ‘Rainbro’.

    Mason Mount was left terrified of obsessed SloanCredit: Getty
    Sloan said she was ‘stuck in her own world’ while stalking the three Prem stars
    She also targeted Ben Chilwell, 26, and Brighton’s Billy Gilmour, 21, in a relentless ‘kiss and troll’ crusade after meeting the Premier League trio at a house party.
    During her harassment campaign, Sloan created sinister collages of Chilwell and Mount, 24, with other women and demanded apologies from the players for ignoring her messages.
    And Gilmour was left taking sleeping pills, cutting ties with his family and having his security beefed up after she falsely claimed she was pregnant despite the pair never having sex.
    On Tuesday, Sloan – a former OnyFans model – was spared jail when she was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

    She was handed a 12-week sentence suspended for 18 months and told to pay the millionaire stars a total of £1,100 in compensation – £500 to Gilmore and £300 to Chilwell and Mount.
    But speaking for the first time since her sentence, Sloan says she regrets her behaviour but claims it was down to “loneliness”.
    She told The Mail on Sunday: “I didn’t see it coming. I was very stuck in my own world.
    “I didn’t meet many people. I was quite lonely and being on OnlyFans just made me more lonely.
    Most read in Football
    “It’s only until it got to the point where I had to go to court, and potentially to prison, that I could see what I had done.”
    Sloan’s harassment exploded after she was invited to a party at England international Chilwell’s house after meeting him over social media.
    She slept with Chelsea team-mate Mount, who has 36 England caps, and the pair chatted “sporadically” for around six months until he cut things off.
    Sloan, from Exeter, Devon, then started stalking the 24-year-old and changed her number 21 times when he kept blocking her.
    She also sent him a screenshot of her paying £12.99 for a new number from Apple, saying: “I’m not buying food anymore so I can get more numbers.”
    ‘DEVIL BABY’
    And in the grips of obsession, she told him: “You must apologise or you will unlock a new character – Devil Baby. So let me apologise and make it right.”
    She told The Mail on Sunday the name was only meant to be “a joke”.
    Mount was left terrified that she would show up at the Chelsea training centre after she was unable to contact him.
    Speaking of her interactions with Mount, Sloan said she “thought it was going somewhere” but in reality there was no chance of a relationship.
    She also made an Instagram account with the username DevilBaby_10, which she used to create collages of Chilwell with other women.
    Gilmour was then bombarded with messages about Mount after the England star refused to message back.
    The stalker tagged his family and friends in the “completely fictitious” posts which ended in her claiming she was pregnant, despite the pair never having sex.
    Gilmour, who has been capped 16 times by Scotland, said her messages had a “huge impact” on his life following his switch from Chelsea to Brighton last September.
    He told the court: “I have not been able to sleep and have had to take sleeping tablets. It’s had a negative effect on my performance and professional life.”
    The court was told by Sloan’s mum, who describes herself on Facebook as a Reiki and Shamanic healer, that her daughter is “addicted” to social media.
    Following her trial, Sloan says she never intended to harm the three players but has learnt that online actions have real world consequences which she did not anticipate at the time.
    The influencer previously admitted one count of harassment, one of stalking and one count of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
    The latter charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
    Read More On The Sun
    Sloan admitted stalking Mount between June 19, 2022 to October 28 and Scots international Gilmour between September 10 2022, and October 28.
    She also pleaded guilty to harassing Chilwell between October 20 and 29. More

    He told The Daily Mail: “Tommy without Jake [Paul] was fighting on his brother’s undercards getting a little relative touch.”
    Riley was recently publically snubbed by Tommy, who claimed the 25-year was “a lot lower” than himself in the boxing world.

    But ‘The Rilest’ insists his numbers far outshine those put up by Tommy, saying: “I can fight anybody and they can get a high amount of views.
    “I fight guys that no one’s ever heard of and get a million views, Tommy can’t say the same thing.
    “He can only piggyback off the guys that do have names, and then claim that it’s his numbers. It’s just an excuse to say he doesn’t want to fight me.”
    Despite being publicly snubbed by Tommy, Riley – the former trainer of KSI – is still holding out hope of sharing the ring with the celebrity.

    “He will just start targeting JJ (KSI), someone I started training at the end of 2017.”
    Tommy’s proposed clash with KSI – who he nearly traded blows with last month – is seemingly “very close” to coming to fruition.
    And he hopes to use it to put an end to the YouTube boxing scene once and for all.

    He told Sky Sports: “Everybody knows what’s next for me, it’s being teased at the minute.
    “Hopefully, we can get this KSI fight over the line and I’ll knock off another YouTuber.
    “That’s my plan for this year. I want to end YouTube boxing within 12 months.
    “So that’s my plan. So we’ll see. I don’t know. I just take it one fight at a time.
    “All these guys are the same to me. There’s not one that stands out from the rest.
