      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.

      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.

      He told Mirror Fighting: “I think Tommy knocks him out in like less than five rounds.”
      KSI thought he’d picked up his fourth win in a row in May when he stopped self-proclaimed billionaire Joe Fournier in the second round of their Wembley Arena war.

      The Problem Child added: “I mean [KSI] is doing these gimmick WWE fights up until now.
      “Tommy is his first real test, but who knows, he might throw an elbow on Tommy, too.”

      He said on his YouTube channel: “Alright guys, right now yall, I am still currently in the hospital.
