      Tommy Fury welcomes Jake Paul to watch KSI fight from ringside and reveals plan for rematch with rival

      by

      TOMMY FURY has welcomed old rival Jake Paul ringside to watch his fight against KSI amid speculation of a rematch between the two. Fury buried two years of feuding with the American in the Saudi Arabia desert with a split-decision in February.

      But Paul, 26, snubbed an immediate rematch to instead return with victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
      So Fury, 24, instead turned his attention to a fresh YouTuber-turned boxer, this time British superstar KSI, 30, tonight in Manchester.
      Paul’s older brother Logan, 28, features in the co-headliner against jiu jitsu champion and MMA fighter Dillon Danis, 30.
      So the self-proclaimed Problem Child is set to be in the house, leading to an expected reunion with Fury.

      Asked if he has any issues with that, Fury told SunSport: “No, none at all.
      “At the end of the day, we had our beef, our fight, we settled it all in the ring and for now that’s died down.
      “There’s always going to be a fight there as I’m sure he wants to get that fight back – but that’s never going to happen.
      “And at the end of the day he can sit there and watch what should have been done to him.”

      Paul recently revealed that he has been exchanging unlikely messages with Fury with the two agreeing to rematch in 2024.
      And Fury said: “At the end of the day, Jake’s alright. Jake’s a lot better of a man than KSI I can tell you that.
      “But at the end of the day I’m focussed on KSI, I’m going to come for him and then we can sit round the table and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last dealings with the Pauls.” 
      Logan also fancies a crack at Fury in a bid to avenge his younger brother Jake and after tonight – possibly his Prime business partner.
      And Fury opened the door to the stunning fight so long as the money is right.
      He said: “I’m going to solely concentrate on Saturday night, get a great performance God willing and then we’ll get around the table and see what’s next.
      “I’m sure if Logan Paul wants it he can definitely have it, 100 per cent.
      “I don’t really care about these guys, any one of them, whoever wants it at that time , whoever puts up the best offer is gonna have the fight, aren’t they?

      My girlfriend is s***ting herself over Tommy Fury fight, but she’s my rock and the reason for my success, reveals KSI

      by

      KSI has dedicated his superstar success to his secret girlfriend – but revealed she is “s***ting herself” over his fight with Tommy Fury. The YouTube, rap and crossover boxing star faces Fury in a massive grudge fight on Saturday in Manchester.

      But the bout has left KSI’s partner – who he keeps away from the public eye – fearing the worst.
      To help ease her nerves she demanded to watch her man in action – but KSI admitted she will still watch through her fingers on fight night.
      He told SunSport: “My girlfriend is s***ing herself! She’s very, very nervous. 
      “But I keep telling her or reminding her, ‘Remember the spar?’ She came to see me spar a few weeks back against this top, top pro.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “She’s like, ‘I know, I know but it’s still Tommy Fury.’ I was like, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got this.’” 
      KSI has largely kept his dating life away from the screen, despite a public relationship with Seana Cuthbert which ended in 2014.
      But everything else about his day to day is largely available to his fans and 24 MILLION subscribers.
      Even his friends – called the Sidemen – are in the business as they share a popular content group.

      So KSI credits his girlfriend – who has no interest in fame – in helping him stay grounded.
      He said: “She is the reason I’m where I’m at today, she’s my rock and I’m never going to leave her side. Simple as that.
      “Having a private relationship is definitely the best thing. She doesn’t want to be famous, she doesn’t want to be known anyway so it just works so well.” 
      KSI – unbeaten in his seven boxing bouts – heads into the fight of his life as a huge underdog.
      Fury, 24, comes into the bout having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul, 26, in their Saudi Arabia grudge match.
      Paul claimed to have made $30m (£25m) for the fight while KSI is expected to earn around £10m against Fury.

      But he has claimed in the past that he does not see a penny of his purses and instead puts it back into his Misfits Boxing business.
      And the grudge match against Fury will be no different.
      KSI, 30, revealed: “When it comes to numbers, I’m pretty clueless most of the time. 
      “For this fight, I don’t even know how much I’m getting paid. I don’t know. I know how much Tommy’s being paid and that’s about it. 
      “I’m not really fussed, the money isn’t the reason I do this, I like creating big moments, I like looking back at my legacy and going, ‘Yeah, this was sick.’ 
      “I just like shocking the world, I love it. There’s something about it which just makes me feel… I don’t want to say God like but it just makes me feel super powerful.

      “I feel like after that I will be able to make so many people’s lives hell on social media. I’m just excited.”

      KSI is in line for the biggest boxing payday of his career… but not that he will know it. The YouTuber-turned prizefighter faces unbeaten Tommy Fury tonight in Manchester.

      There has been so much interest in the blockbuster bout that pubs and even CINEMAS are showing the DAZN pay-per-view event.
      KSI – who co-owns the Misfits Boxing banner promoting the show – has claimed he never sees a penny of his fight purses.
      He instead reinvests it into his Misfists business and his mega-money showdown with Fury is no different.
      He told SunSport: “When it comes to numbers, I’m pretty clueless most of the time.

      KSI, 30, is expected to make in the region of £10MILLION for the fight of his life, with Fury, 24, likely to make just under half of that.
      The Londoner shot to fame on YouTube and has helped pioneer the new age of celebrity-style crossover bouts.
      But tonight will be the pinacle as he takes on Fury, who beats his arch enemy Jake Paul, 26, in their Saudi Arabia grudge match in February.
      And KSI reaffirmed that the fight is not about the cash and instead fuelled only to upset the boxing odds.
      He said: “I’m happy where I’m at money-wise.

      “So yeah, I’ve made the money that I wanted to make and now I’m looking for more than that. 
      “And I know after this fight I’m probably going to feel a little bit lost and think, ‘I’m going to need something to excite me again.’  
      “And just going to figure it out, whether that’s a fight with Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul, whatever, we’ll see. 
      “But right now I’m just trying to enjoy this moment because so many times there’s a destination point that I’ve got and I reach it and I’m like, ‘Now what?’ 
      “So right now I’m just enjoying this moment and taking it all in and once I do what I said I was going to do, over and over again, yeah I get to enjoy it. Relish it.”

      At the fight’s face off Grace allegedly threw Wett over a table in an altercation that many speculated was staged.
      Wett was then allegedly taken to hospital, signifying that the fight was off.
      The fight is now set to happen tomorrow on a packed Misfits Boxing undercard.
      And ahead of her bout, Wett has launched a diss track about her rival.

      My training camp for KSI was like PRISON without Molly-Mae and Bambi but I will make him PAY, vows emotional Tommy Fury

      by

      TOMMY FURY has vowed to make KSI pay for taking him away from his fiancee and baby daughter for ten weeks. Fury made the ultimate sacrifice in training camp to fight YouTube superstar KSI on Saturday night in Manchester.

      The 2019 Love Islander – who met partner Molly-Mae Hague on the TV show – spent over two months staying in a hotel away from his family.
      Fury was only a short drive away from his £3.5million Cheshire mansion but he opted to instead live in solidarity while in camp.
      He said: “Could have stayed at home for the full camp. Home is probably 15 minutes away from the camp, have I been going back? No.
      “I’ve seen them once a week for the past ten weeks and that’s just because I want to zone in and concentrate.

      “You have to make sacrifices in this game and who else – especially in this game – no one is doing that.

      “They’re all around their missus’ in bed with their missus at night time, kissing and cuddling. I’ve had none of that.
      “I’ve had it hard, living on my own, training on my own. I’ve got the best team in the world and I’m ready to show all the discipline and sacrifice on Saturday night.”
      Fury likened his training camp hotel to a “fancy prison” having done nothing but eat, sleep and repeat his gruelling regime.

      He said: “Honestly, the hotel is beautiful, can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for us.
      “But, at the end of the day is I’d liken it to a fancy prison because all I’ve done for ten weeks is go to the gym, coming back, eating, sleeping and watching films.
      “It’s a fancy prison, I’ve not done anything else. I’m in a razor, razor sharp mental state and ready to go out there and deliver a career-best performance.”
      Tempers have threatened to boil over between Fury, 24, and KSI, 30, in the lead up to the DAZN PPV fight.
      KSI was involved in an altercation with Fury’s dad John who threw a bottle at the social media star, who then retaliated by SPITTING his gum at him.
      So after the bitter war of words, Fury is ready to let his fists do the talking when the rivals put bragging rights and reputations on the line.
      He said: “KSI has done, said a lot of things and he’s going to have to pay for that Saturday night.
      “I’m quietly calm, composed and ready to go. But he will pay for everything he’s said over this past ten weeks.”

      Dillon Danis accuses Logan Paul of missing weight and ‘changing rules’ ahead of fight.. with Jake Paul ready to step in

      by

      DILLON DANIS has accused Logan Paul of “missing weight” and “changing rules” ahead of their highly-anticipated showdown.The grudge match between the two stars is set to be the co-headline bout in Manchester on Saturday night along with KSI versus Tommy Fury.
      Dillon Danis has accused Logan Paul of ‘missing weight’ for their grudge matchCredit: Splash
      The YouTuber posted a clip of himself on the scales making weight at 11:41amCredit: Splash

      But after an explosive pre-fight press conference last night, MMA star Danis claimed it should be off as he tweeted: “Logan Paul just missed weight.”
      But Paul, 28, quickly hit back at those claims by Danis by showing a clip of himself on the scales that showed his weight at 194.3lbs in a social media post at 11:41am.
      The 30-year-old Danis then vented his fury by posting this lengthy statement: “The commission’s rules state that weigh-ins are between 10 and 11. If you miss the 11 o’clock deadline, you’ve missed weight.
      “I weighed in at 10:15, but Logan still hasn’t. The commission said that if he doesn’t arrive by the 11am deadline, the fight is off.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “He missed the weight, but then called misfits and changed the rules to give himself an extra hour.
      “We should be on an even playing field, he shouldn’t get special treatment.”
      Danis then claimed: “He’s already got more juice than Tropicana. He missed the weight, plain and simple. They’re trying to handicap me as much as possible.”
      Danis then took to X, formerly known as Twitter, again to say: “He claims he made weight, but it doesn’t count. The rules are the rules.
      Most read in Boxing
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
      “If he wants to be viewed as a genuine boxer, he needs to follow the 11 o’clock deadline.
      “Look at the time he posted. It’s not fair; I had to follow the rules, and he isn’t an exception.”
      Despite Danis’ statements, Sun Sport understands that there was no 11am deadline for this showdown.

      Meanwhile, Paul’s younger brother Jake, 26, had earlier tweeted to state that he would step in.
      The 7-1 boxer posted: “I will always have my brother’s back.
      “I chose not to respond to the puppet’s countless tweets as it would only amplify his harassment.
      “But make no mistake, if Logan needed me to step in, I would take great joy in knocking that maggot out. See you soon.”
      That was after his elder sibling revealed his swollen face after being attacked by Danis in a chaotic pre-fight press conference.

      An explosive brawl left YouTuber-turned WWE star Paul gushing with blood on Thursday.
      The pair had just finished trash-talking on stage when Paul, who has a 0-1-2 record, hurled a bottle of his Prime drink at Danis’ nether regions.
      Danis hit back by swiping a microphone at his rival’s head as security tried to separate them.
      Paul was left clutching his face after the sickening thud of the impact cut open his cheek, with Danis then posting a picture of blood on the floor at the venue and captioned it with: “Play with fire get burnt p***y.”
      Mams Taylor, KSI’s manager and co-owner of Misfits Boxing, was initially unable to provide an update on the American’s health status after the shock incident.
      However, Paul took to social media to seemingly reassure fans that the highly-anticipated bout was still on despite the damage he suffered.
      He firstly tweeted: “This Saturday we catching a predator.”
      The much-maligned star then shared a selfie on Instagram of himself wearing dark goggles above the huge swelling and cut on his left cheek that he captioned with: “Can’t see the haterz.”

      Despite his impressive exploits in WWE, Paul has not set foot inside the boxing ring since his 2021 clash with Floyd Mayweather.
      Meanwhile, Bellator MMA welterweight Danis has not fought in over four years.

      KSI names three next fight opponents after Tommy Fury but admits he will be ‘lost’ following grudge bout

      by

      KSI admits he will feel “lost” after settling the score with Tommy Fury – but he already has a trio of superstar names lined up to fight after. The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star faces Fury on Saturday night in Manchester.

      It gives him the chance to do what his arch rival Jake Paul failed in and hand Fury a disastrous defeat.
      And KSI insisted the challenge is not about money and instead fuelled only by trying to upset the boxing odds.
      So he predicts a huge comedown in emotions after the fight – but a list of old rivals could quickly spark a change in that.
      KSI told SunSport: “I’ve made the money that I wanted to make and now I’m looking for more than that.

      UFC legend McGregor, 35, bizarrely called out KSI, 30, to a bare-knuckle fight ringside after Anthony Joshua’s most recent win.
      And unbeaten boxing icon Mayweather, 46, faced the social media sensation’s brother Deji, 26, in November.
      But KSI’s most storied feud is with online enemy Paul, 26, whose brother Logan lost to the Londoner in 2019.
      Logan, 28, has since formed a bromance and business with KSI after launching drinks company Prime.
      But younger brother Jake has no love lost and has called to end the rivalry with the mother of all influencer boxing bouts.
      The American lost to Fury by split-decision last February and snubbed a rematch to instead beat MMA veteran Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
      So KSI turned his attention to Fury but Jake is set to be in Manchester as Logan makes his return against jujitsu champion Dillon Danis, 30.
      But if KSI was to pull off the upset at the AO Arena, he has no interest of allowing Jake into the ring for a face off.

      He said: “No. I’m just going to laugh at him and be like, ‘This is the person you lost to.’
      “Because now I’m in the driving seat, now I’m in the highest chair and I get to choose who I want.”
