      The unbeaten younger brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury comes into the fight having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul via split-decision in Saudi Arabia back in February.
      And having already chalked one off his list, the 24-year-old ex-Love Islander wants to put the crossover boxing scene to bed by securing wins over the pair.
      However, during an appearance with his father, John Fury, on GMB today, he shocked host Garraway when dishing out a threat to KSI.
      Fury, whose fiancee Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to baby girl Bambi in January, began by claiming: “This is an easy win for me, I’m training like I’m training for an undisputed world title fight.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “When I jump in the ring with KSI he will quickly realise that fighting a YouTuber is completely different to fighting a professional boxer.”
      With his dad nodding in approval next to him, he then warned: “This is a message for KSI. Cut all of that fancy talk out, the laughs and all the stupid bandanas, whatever you want to do… come October 14 his life will be ruined.

      “All his singing, podcasting, his business, it will all be finished as mark my words, he’ll be leaving Manchester Arena in an ambulance. I can quite clearly guarantee it.”
      “Crikey,” replied Garraway before adding: “I’m actually getting a little bit disturbed by all of this.”

      Dad John already helped to raise the heat between the two fighters as their latest press conference to promote the fight descended into chaos when he began flipping tables on stage this week.
      And the former bare-knuckle boxer predicted more carnage come fight night as he claimed his son will keep punching his opponent until he “URINATES” himself and warned it will be a “street-fight with gloves on” at the event.
      After claiming his “good-looking son” can beat anybody out there, Fury then told Garraway and GMB viewers today: “Don’t be deceived by looks. This kid can fight, he’s as tough as boots.”
      And he then finished off by promising: “The fans are going to love it.”
      KSI also appeared on the ITV show last month and made a better impression on Garraway.
      The 30-year-old sat down in the studio to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.
      But he then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration – with the presenter later throwing some punches at co-host Richard Madeley.

      Joshua took a lap around the ring after his victory and bumped into both McGregor and KSI.
      And McGregor was captured hurling abuse at KSI until AJ intervened in support of his “guy.”
      Joshua, 33, has now revealed to Misfits Boxing: “I went around the ring and I bumped into Conor McGregor on my victory lap.
      “He’s a personality, he’s a very big character, so I stopped off, we spoke, I had a sip of stout and I was on my way, so respect to him.”

      AJ continued: “I just didn’t understand what this beef was about and obviously I know KSI, so I wasn’t going to be like, ‘Yeah, f*** KSI’.
      “I know KSI so I’m not going to start throwing slurs at him, that’s my guy, so what’s going on.”
      McGregor, 35, surprisingly called out KSI, 30, while mocking his fighting ability in the ring immediately after Joshua’s KO victory.
      He said: “I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.

      He said on talkSPORT: “Look, after Tommy Fury I might entertain a fight with Conor McGregor. With me, you never know. You never know.”

      Another added: “Speed scoring on you. Oh my it’s over.”
      One joked: “Speed is already training to score a penalty against you.”
      Another said: “With KSI being a goalkeeper, Speed won’t be able to slide tackle KSI again this year.”

      He heads into his Battle of Britain bout with KSI as a huge favourite but the underdog is out to prove the bookies wrong.

      KSI said: “I feel like people haven’t been able to see what I can actually properly do.
      “I’ve shown glimpses here and there but in terms of my boxing ability, my grit and everything we’re going to put it to the test.
      “You get to see what I know and I can’t wait to show the world on October 14 what a YouTuber can do. I love proving people wrong.”

      KSI claims ‘terrified’ Logan Paul won’t let brother Jake step into ring with him

      by

      KSI claims Logan Paul does not want his brother Jake to fight him after the “terrifying” experience of their bouts. The YouTube sensation drew with Logan in their 2018 grudge match before winning a follow-up event a year later by scrappy split-decision.

      But the foes turned friends in the years since following the launch of their popular drinks company Prime.
      Jake, however, has not forgiven or forgotten his own rivalry with KSI, fuelling demand for a bitter bout.
      But KSI believes his older brother Logan is not so keen on the idea.
      He said on Viddal Riley’s YouTube channel: “I even feel like Logan doesn’t want me to fight Jake, because he knows how hard I train.

      “He knows I’m relentless, Logan has fought me and he knows how long it is.
      “Even if you have everything on me, there is that little bit inside of me that never gives up.
      “Having to fight that and put your all into fighting this guy but he’s still coming forward, it’s terrifying.”
      KSI, 30, returns to the ring on October 14 against Tommy Fury, who beat Jake in Saudi Arabia in February.

      Logan, 28, features on the undercard against Conor McGregor’s training partner Dillon Danis.
      Jake, 26, is set to be ringside for the event after claiming KSI is doing everything he can to avoid their proposed fight.
      He told Twitch streamer Adin Ross: “It’s gonna happen, it I mean it has to happen. It has to happen, we’ll make it happen, for sure.
      “I’ve been trying to do it, man. He then goes online and like lies about it. Certain clauses and stuff.
      “What happens in boxing is if they don’t really want to do it, they just hide behind all these crazy clauses to make it seem like it’s the contract that’s holding everything up but really it’s the person who doesn’t want to do it.
      “And it’s like look, I’ve fought everybody, every single time. Anyone who asks to fight me, I did the deal, I made it happen.
      “They want ten round? OK, cool. They want this? OK, let’s f***ing do it. So I make these fights happen back to back to back to back for past three-and-a-half years.
      “And people think that I’m the one that wouldn’t make it happen? It’s like, come on guys let’s be realistic here.

      “And I told them, I’ll do it in the UK, you can be the A-side, I don’t give a f*** about any of that.
      “So it’s like, where is the contract hold up? Oh no, you just don’t want to do it.”
