      Tommy Fury handed shock boxing lifeline with arch rival’s promotion ‘open’ to working with Love Island star

      by

      TOMMY FURY could be handed a shock boxing lifeline in the form of an arch rival. Fury last year beat YouTube’s biggest boxing stars in Jake Paul and KSI. Tommy Fury controversially beat KSICredit: GettyBut he hasn’t boxed since, having undergone hand surgery following his controversial decision win over KSI in October. He has since hit unwanted headlines after splitting up with Molly-Mae Hague amid cheating allegations – which he publicly denied. And his boxing career has taken a hit in the aftermath of his surgery and contentious victory over KSI. But Misfits Boxing – co-founded by KSI and head honcho Mams Taylor – could be an unlikely route back into the ring for Fury. READ MORE IN BOXINGTaylor told SunSport: “Door’s open. I think he’s 25, he definitely brings a lot of value. “His dad is entertaining get along great with him as well. I think we’re open to it. Let’s see where he wants to go. “It would potentially make sense. It’s just gotta make sense on every front, you know? But always open to conversations.”Neither KSI, 31, or Fury, 25, have boxed since their pay-per-view blockbuster due to similar hand injuries.

He said: “The last time we all spoke, we knew that Tommy was unable to fight for a little while. “We look forward to reconnecting and seeing what’s next for him.”  Floyd Mayweather among SIX names in line to fight KSI on boxing return… with YouTuber out for ‘revenge’ More

      Floyd Mayweather among SIX names in line to fight KSI on boxing return… with YouTuber out to ‘overcome the odds’

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER is on a six-man list of names in line to fight KSI. YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI was forced to pull out of his August 31 return after suffering a hand injury. Floyd Mayweather is in the frame to fight KSICredit: GettyKSI is hoping to make a boxing return in 2025Credit: GettyAnd he is hoping to be back by next year with talks already underway for who will be his opponent.His manager Mams Taylor – who co-founded Misfits Boxing with KSI – teased it will be a superstar name with a fierce reputation. Taylor told SunSport: “It’s gonna be someone big, someone who’s a challenge, someone who people will think is the impossible for a YouTuber to beat.”And I think that’s what KSI loves. He loves overcoming the odds, he loves the challenge. He loves proving people wrong.READ MORE IN BOXING”And I think – despite the actual result of the night – most people thought he won that fight in his last fight and he was a heavy underdog in that one so you know more of that to come.” KSI, 31, is yet to return since suffering defeat for the first time, losing a controversial decision to Tommy Fury, 25, in October. He was due to face TikToker Slim Albaher and ex-MMA fighter Anthony Taylor in a wild two-on-one bout before injury. That was after talks to fight retired British former world champion Amir Khan collapsed. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBut Khan, 37, and Mayweather, 47, remain in the frame for KSI. Taylor revealed: “Amir is on the hit-list, Floyd is on the hit list for KSI. These are two out of 5/6 guys that we’re all looking at very closely.”Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC legend Conor McGregor, 36, but he has continued to box in exhibitions since. They have come against opponents from the social media, MMA and boxing world – including KSI’s brother Deji. But KSI fumed at the way Mayweather refused to take it easy on his inexperienced brother – and is out for redemption in the ring. Taylor said: “I mean, he was technically the best defensive boxer in history and arguably ever all around. “And it’d be an honour to work with him in that capacity with JJ and him if that ever happens.”And to be honest with you, that was how Deji was thinking, I’m a promoter. I can say that. “Deji was in awe of Floyd, KSI wouldn’t be in awe of Floyd. KSI wants his revenge for the way he treated his brother.” Floyd Mayweather beat YouTuber Deji in DubaiCredit: Lee Hamilton-Cooper More

      KSI reveals why he would be ’10x better’ in a rematch with Tommy Fury and admits ‘mistake’ he made in first fight

      by

      KSI insisted he will be ten times more prepared in a rematch against Tommy Fury – having learned from his biggest mistake. The boxing, music and YouTube superstar suffered defeat in the ring for the first time last October in a controversial decision to Fury. Tommy Fury controversially beat KSI on pointsCredit: PAKSI was due to return this Saturday against BOTH social media star Slim Albaher and ex-MMA fighter Anthony Taylor in a two-on-one bout. That was until he was forced to pull out after suffering a hand injury which also caused his problems in the build up to facing 25-year-old Fury. But KSI admitted coming in undersized for his 183lb catchweight clash last year was actually his biggest error of all. He told SunSport: “I wouldn’t want to make any excuses against me and Tommy.READ MORE IN BOXING“I think – but this is again my fault – it was the weight. I should have fought him at a weight that I was really comfortable in.“We put up 186 or 185 but I was struggling to even make that weight. “Whereas now I’m in a position where I’m happy to be at 185 and I’m not gonna struggle to try and get to it.“I remember when I had to weigh in, I had to drink a load of water just to try and make the weight just to try and get onto the scale and hit 185.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS“I was very light when I was fighting Tommy.

He said: “I’m thinking hopefully Q1 of next year. “I think that’s what we’re looking to aim at. I think any time this year it probably just doesn’t make sense.“And it’s one of those things where the longer I let it heal, the better for the future rather than me trying to rush back into fighting again and then just get injured again.”KSI will still perform to his beloved fans in what is a sellout at the 3Arena in Dublin – but on the microphone not in the ring. She said: “I always like finding the silver lining of things. So after I got injured, I was just like, how can I still be a part of this next Misfits?“So I thought you know what, why not just perform.
