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

    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.

    “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.”

    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.”

    Who is Ben Hatchett?
    Ben Hatchett, 34, is a professional bareknuckle boxer and social media personality.
    He also goes by the fighting nickname One Bomb.
    On the subject of bareknuckle boxing, Hatchett told the Daily Star: “It’s a professional sport… you have you get your blood tests and so on.
    “You need to have some sort of fight experience to get into it.
    READ MORE ON BOXING
    “I wouldn’t recommend anyone without any experience getting into bareknuckle”.
    He served time alongside monsters Ian Brady and Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe at Broadmoor Hospital.
    Ben was convicted for knife crimes as a teenager and was sent to Broadmoor after an attempted prison escape aged 21.
    After a few years, he was moved to another high-security facility at Ashworth Hospital, near Liverpool, but was released in 2020 and has turned his life around, now working as a boxer and running a successful YouTube podcast.
    Most read in Boxing
    In September Daniella Westbrook, 49, shared a video of herself lying between the sheets with ex con Ben – just weeks after confirming she was back with her fiancé David.
    In the video, a giggling Danniella says: “Guess what, do you want to know a secret?”
    She then pans over to Ben who laughs: “The cats out the bag.”
    Danniella adds: “It’s official.”
    She later shared another video and claimed it was an old video taken ‘years ago’ and she thought she was just sending to him as she insisted they are just friends.
    Hatchett also previously dated Jessie Wallace’s half-sister Danielle Mason after inviting her on his podcast and having their first date in Broadmoor.
    Speaking with the Daily Star about turning his life around following regaining his freedom, Ben said: “I came out with a dream in my head.
    “I was going to do a book I was going to do something positive in the world – I came out with the belief that I can change and be a better person and he can too, if he was just given the opportunity.
    “I was done for hostage taking,” he admits, “was on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
    “They deemed me high risk. I did nine months segregation for a plot to take lan Brady hostage but I came out and look what I’ve done now; I own a security company now, I am a professional fighter, I’ve gone and worked with kids.
    “These 4 letters gave me hope when I was inside – P.T.A.W., prove them all wrong.”
    What is Ben Hatchett’s boxing record?
    At present Ben’s professional bareknuckle boxing record stands at 1 win, 1 loss and 0 draws.
    His only win to date came by way of TKO, so his current knock-out ratio is 50%.
    In total he’s boxed 3 rounds, meaning his professional fights last 1.5 rounds on average.
    Aside from professional fights, it appears that Hatchett has been in a lot of bareknuckle contests, but information about these is often kept out of the public eye.
    Is Ben Hatchett fighting Ed Matthews?
    According to a video released on YouTube, Ben Hatchett and Ed Matthews will be going head-to-head.
    There is yet to be any concrete information about the bout released.
    The video just says the fight will be under the Backyard MMA banner and that it is “coming soon”.

    He hosts a YouTube podcast called Let’s Be Real.
    He is also on TikTok and Instagram.

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

    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.”

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

    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.”

    However, there were fears that the bout could be jeopardy after 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.
    MMA fighter Danis hit back by swiping a microphone at his rival’s head as security tried to separate them.
    The 28-year-old Paul was left clutching his face after the sickening thud of the impact cut open his cheek.

    Danis then posted 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 has now taken to social media to seemingly reassure fans that the highly-anticipated bout is still on despite the damage he suffered.

    Despite his impressive exploits in WWE, Paul has not set foot inside the boxing ring since his 2021 clash with Floyd Mayweather.
