      However, KSI, who is yet to be beaten in the ring, launched an astonishing X-rated attack on Fury after seeing who the boxer was sparring in preparation for the fight.
      Taking to Instagram, KSI – who has 13.2 million followers on the platform – shared a picture of Owen Kirk’s boxing record to his story after Kirk shared an image sparring with Fury to his own page.
      The Morecambe middleweight, 24, has a record of three wins, one defeat and two draws.
      But KSI was not impressed by the calibre of opponent Fury was going up against, going so far as to accuse the Love Island star of not taking him seriously.

      He wrote: “How f***ing dare you? You’re not taking me seriously at all you f***ing piece of s***.
      “I’m preparing myself for the ULTIMATE challenge and THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE SPARRING WITH?!?!
      “A middleweight with s*** movement and weak ass punches?!”
      However, Kirk did not take the insult lying down.

      Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Kirk replied: “@KSI six days until you are finished. Give me any of your fighters 160lbs – 180lbs.”
      In KSI’s case, London Shootfighters head coach Alexis Demetriades revealed he has offered money to opponents to knock him out in sessions.
      Demetriades said: “From where he was at when he first came to where he is now, he’s come on leaps and bounds.
      “He’s only sparring professional boxers, this whole camp, forget MMA fighters, forget amateurs.
      “He’s sparring guys 14-0, 13-0, 12-2, 8-0, 6-0, all with knockouts and all ranked by the British Boxing Board of Control.
      “If they think that we’re not taking this seriously, we’ve got guys who are ranked higher than Tommy Fury in the gym.
      “And they’re not just moving around, they’re trying to kill JJ and there’s bonus money on the table for them to knock him out.
      “From a coaching point of view, all I want to do is put the correct guys in front on KSI and see whether or not he can deal with that and if he can’t then he shouldn’t be fighting.”
      KSI is an underdog going into the fight considering the vast gap in experience in the ring between himself and Fury.

      by

      KSI takes on Tommy Fury this weekend in a massive Misfits event at the AO Arena in Manchester.Influencer boxing doesn’t get much bigger, with Logan Paul also on the card in bout against Dillon Danis.

      Fury is the big favourite, however, so KSI will need all the support he can get.
      But his best pals the Sidemen WON’T be ringside to see the fight up close.
      KSI VS FURY
      Why are the Sidemen not ringside for KSI vs Tommy Fury?
      But fear not, Sidemen fans, as the YouTube troupe WILL be in attendance at the AO Arena.
      On a Sidecast episode at the end of September, the Sidemen confirmed that they would be at the fight, but just not ringside.
      The Sidemen will be in a hospitality box instead.
      “We’re in a box,” Miniminter said.

      And Zerkaa jokingly added: “We’re not allowed our seats by the ringside, unfortunately. We’ve been demoted as KSI’s friends.
      “We asked, they said no,” Miniminter went on to say. “Not JJ, just to clear that up. Not JJ.”
      Behzinga then said: “Yeah, they would rather sell the seats than let us have them.
      So there you have it, there’s not always a benefit to having friends in high places. More

      But he’s adamant he’ll shock the world by winning the fight within four rounds.
      He said: “I’m feeling good, feeling confident and feeling ready.
      “I’m going to just stand there and fight him, Jake ran away from Tommy’s combinations; I’m not running away, I’m standing in the middle of the ring and I’m fighting him.
      “I’ve watched [Fury and Paul’s fight] many times, every angle on slo-mo, every stance, every little bit of detail that I need to know in order to beat Tommy Fury.
      “Tommy has got some certain combinations that he likes doing that he’s pretty good at and we’re looking out for that.
      “Obviously he’s a big guy that likes to clinch so we’re going to be watching that and we’re going to fight him.
      “Just go in there and fight, go crazy, it’s simple. I’m going to test that chin and I’m going to show him that my power is different to Jake Paul.” More

      Paul, 26, came up short in the biggest fight of his brief professional career – suffering a split decision defeat.
      The Problem Child blamed the defeat on “illness” and “arm injury” but has since pivoted to claims he was out on the razz seven weeks before fight night.
      During an interview with The Nelk Boys, he said: “I knew I wasn’t focused going into the Tommy fight.
      “I was drinking like seven weeks before and I was like, what the f**k am I doing?

      “Both drinking and partying at the club.”
      Former Disney star Paul felt like he could live it up during fight camp following six wins on the bounce.
      He said: “You think like, ‘Okay, no one’s really beat me or given me a crazy challenge’.
      “In hindsight, it’s so stupid and that’s why I’m saying it out loud.

      “It’s so that like other people can learn from that and not fucking do that.”
      Paul says he only came to his senses a matter of weeks before the Saudi showdown.
      The social media sensation said: “It was like January 5th when I was like bro, what the f**k am I doing?
      “I’m done with this shit and sure enough, I lost because of that.”
      Paul bounced back from defeat to Fury in August with a unanimous decision victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz.
      Fury, meanwhile, will be back in action next Saturday in a Manchester melee against YouTuber KSI.

      Has Dillon Danis pulled out of the Logan Paul fight?

      by

      Logan Paul is due to fight Dillon Danis at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14.But a host of social media posts of late have called the bout into question — so has Dillon really pulled out of the fight or not?

      Has Dillon Danis pulled out of the Logan Paul fight?
      Dillon Danis has astonishingly hinted that he’s pulling out of his fight with Logan Paul.
      30-year-old Danis started training in ji jitsu at the age of 15 and is a black belt under Marcelo Garcia, as part of a generation of grapplers produced by the respected Alliance New York Academy.
      In 2016 he was invited to become a coach and main grappling training partner of Conor McGregor ahead of the Notorious’ fight against Nate Diaz for UFC 202.
      Danis has been friends with McGregor ever since.
      READ MORE ON BOXING
      He hasn’t competed in many fights as an MMA fighter, but has an unbeaten record of 2-0 — winning both of his bouts by submission.
      He was set to make his boxing debut later this month in a fight against Logan Paul, until his unexpected online activity called the match-up into question.
      The MMA fighter tweeted a clip of  talking about the pair’s ongoing legal battles, saying: “Logan bragging about lawsuits again he isn’t built for the fight game, this p**** doesn’t deserve me I’m out.”
      In response, Logan said on his Impaulsive podcast: “I’m convinced he’s not going to show up.
      Most read in Boxing
      “The clause is this: If he pulls out because of some sort of injury that he fakes, a doctor of our choosing has to verify the injury.
      “And then if he is indeed faking it, he has to pay $100,000. There is a pull-out clause.”
      Paul added: “He’s broke. This guy sucks. He’s a parasite of the MMA and combat world.
      “That’s why I took the fight initially. If he does show up, I get to be the one. I get to be the one to take an eraser and remove him from existence.
      “His name will never be uttered again. He’ll die that night, twice.”
      Danis’ stand-in, UFC legend Mike Perry, added to the speculation by tweeting a video of himself saying: “It’s official guys, I’m in.”
      SunSport understands Danis is yet to officially withdraw, despite his cryptic social media post and Perry’s claim.
      Danis subsequently followed up with another post on X — the platform previously known as Twitter — saying: “Sheesh you all take everything so seriously.”
      He later tweeted a picture of himself training along with the words: “I’ll be there fight night everyone can calm down”
      And yet another follow-up tweet said: “See you October 14th p**** boy”.
      The final post heavily implies that the fight will in fact go ahead as originally planned, despite all the drama.
      When is the Dillon Danis vs Logan Paul fight?
      Danis will face Paul on the undercard of KSI vs Tommy Fury on Saturday, October 14.
      The fight will take place at the AO Arena in Manchester.
