      But he ended up in a scuffle with KSI’s training and sparring partner following a confrontation between the two.
      Virgo was filmed walking up to confront Fury, who stood up before a brawl between the two broke out.
      Security was forced to separate the pair after chaos ensued ringside.
      Asked by talkSPORT about the incident, Fury said:  “He’s just another bum looking for a payday, that’s all.

      “They see me sat at ringside and want to try and elevate themselves and that’s that.”
      Virgo is 13-0 and fought on KSI’s undercard in January, beating Anthony Taylor, 33, but shot to fame on Love Island in 2018.
      And ever since Fury, 24, came out of the ITV series a year later, he has been called out by Virgo.
      But the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson was busy feuding with YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26.

      It culminated in a massive grudge match in Saudi Arabia, which Fury won by split-decision.
      So KSI – who saw his own bitter bout with Paul face the KO – has set his sights on Fury.
      His fight with Fournier, 40, ended in controversy following an accidental but illegal elbow knockout.
      The bout is now being appealed and although KSI expects his KO win to be overturned, he still wants to face Fury next.

      Footage of the incident showed Virgo approach Fury, who then stood up, before a brawl ignited between them.
      Virgo has since called Fury a “coward” for his actions.
      While the pair clearly have their differences, their careers have followed similar paths.
      They have both been contestants on Love Island, while enjoying success in boxing – with both being undefeated in their careers thus far.

      With the pair seemingly determined to end one another’s runs, but how do they compare?
      SunSport has taken a look at the pair to find what separates them.
      Of the two light-heavyweight boxers, Virgo has the upper hand in experience.
      The 29-year-old has 13 fights under his belt, including 12 wins and two KOs.

      Meanwhile, Fury, 24, has a perfect nine-from-nine record, with four KOs to boot.
      Here’s how Fury and Virgo compare

      Fury also holds the advantage on Instagram followers, with 5.1million to Virgo’s 214,000.
      However, Virgo can go toe-to-toe with Fury when it comes to net worth.
      The lesser known man said to be worth as much as £4m having built up his boxing brand over the years.
      Fury is worth a similar sum having seen his bank balance swell following his fight with Jake Paul, which it’s understood he earned over £3m for.
      LOVE INTERESTS
      Fury is currently dating Love Island sweetheart Molly-Mae Hughes, while Virgo is not believed to be in a relationship at the moment.
      But how did TNT and The Bodybreaker both do during their time on the Island?
      Virgo entered the Villa on Day 36 of season four of the show but failed to couple up with anyone before being dumped out of the Villa on Day 40.

      Fury fared far better than his counterpart. He entered on Day One of season five and partnered up with Lucie on Day Two.
      He would then go on to couple up with Molly-Mae on Day Five before eventually going on to finish runner-up. More

      Molly-Mae showed off bundles of presents, a boxing-themed cake and pictures of the happy couple together.
      But she was not so kind when revealing Fury’s woeful attempt at teeing off at the driving range.
      The 9-0 fighter proved he is more accurate with swings in the ring than the green.
      Fury could barely connect with the ball and Molly-Mae could help but compare him to Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore character.

      Molly-Mae also posted an adorable video of the two with baby daughter Bambi, born in February.
      She posted: “Happy Birthday to my dream man. You have no idea how much I love you. Just us, forever and always baby!”
      Fury is three months removed from the biggest win of his career, against YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul.
      He left Saudi Arabia with a split-decision victory and bragging rights following years of feuding between the pair.

      But an expected rematch has so far not materialised, with Paul, 26, instead returning on August 5 against Nate Diaz, 38, in Texas.
      Although the American told Sky Sports while in Miami for the Formula One that the celebrity rivals WILL fight again.
      Paul said: “It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen for sure.
      “I think it was a great fight, it was entertaining, it was the biggest pay-per-view buys in boxing for the last two years so I think we have to run it back.
      “Tommy is down and I’m excited for that.”

      Throughout the day, the pair swapped diets starting with a cooked breakfast consisting of over 2,000 calories each.
      Hall ordered Fury a fry up, with an additional sausage, hash brown, mushrooms, fried bread and coffee.
      Impressively, the 9-0 boxer cleaned his plate and joked about reaping the rewards since beating rival Paul in February.
      He said: “I have put on three stone in four weeks.”

      Fury, 23, weighed in at 13st 1lb before beating Paul, 26, by split-decision, meaning he is now over 16 STONE having not trained since the win.
      But after his hearty breakfast, he picked up the gloves again for a boxing session with Hall before working up an appetite for lunch.
      Hall – who lost his boxing debut to strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson – served Fury a 400g steak, with 400g of rice and 200g worth of veg.
      For dessert, the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson enjoyed half a family cheesecake, taking his calorie intake to 5,700.

      Hall, 35, then gave Fury a ride in his TANK stopping off for a Fredo chocolate bar and McDonald’s milkshake.
      It fuelled the two up for a gym session, working on their chest and triceps, with Fury made to drink a protein shake.
      To recover from their double training session, Hall welcomed Fury to his home spa, including a sauna and ice bath.
      Their day ended with a sit-down dinner, where the calories continued to rise.
      Hall ordered Fury a ginger beer with TWO starters, calamari and beef meatballs.
      And his main consisted of two steaks with peppercorn sauce, a side of fries and seasonal veg.

      Again Fury finished his plate and had a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream – meaning he ended the day having consumed over 9,000 calories.
      The average male is advised to have 2,500 calories a day – meaning Fury had almost FOUR TIMES that amount.
      His next fight is not yet been determined amid rumours of a rematch with Paul but fans loved his collab with Hall.
      One said: What a fantastic watch. Brilliant chemistry, great lads, more to come.”

      Another added: “We need more of these, that was epic.”
      One agreed: “Tommy you and Eddie need to do more together brilliant video this loved it.”
