    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.

    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.

    “I’ve tasted Jake’s power and his right hand hits like a baseball bat.
