      Social media sensation KSI – real name Olijade Olatunji – has yet to face a professional boxer in his brief stint in the sport.
      But former WBA heavyweight king Haye reckons the internet mogul will leave Fury – the younger brother of Tyson Fury – with egg on his face.
      He told JOE: “I think KSI beats him. Everybody just believes Tommy’s so much better.
      “The best name on his record is Jake Paul, and that was a close fight in which he got knocked down.

      “So it’s not like he has this depth of experience.
      “I think everybody’s overrating Tommy and very much underrating KSI, and that gives KSI a massive advantage. I believe it’s gonna be a big shock.”
      KSI, 30, goes into his clash with Fury on the back of a No Contest with Joe Fournier, who he knocked out with an illegal elbow.
      But he’s brimming with confidence ahead of his Manny melee with Fury, who he plans to finish inside 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.”

      The star-studded line-up is headlined by KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury, while Logan Paul is facing off with Dillon Danis.
      But while the focus is on the two main fights at the AO Arena, further down the bill are fellow mega-successful influencers with deep pockets.
      In terms of net worths on the The Misfits card, PRIME business partners Paul and KSI top the list with £61million and £20m respectively.
      Alex Wassabi – whose partner is actress Alexxis Lemire – is worth a cool £13m.

      The YouTuber is part of a special tag team event that will see himself and NichLmao fight Luis Alcaraz Pineda and BDave.
      Love Island star Fury takes up the next spot thanks to his net worth of an estimated £4m.
      Danis is worth more than a pretty penny himself with a net worth of £2.5m.
      Salt Papi, participating in the third from last fight on the card, has a net worth of up to £1.6m,

      Opponent Slim Albaher has a far more modest worth of £407,000, which is understandable given his more modest social media following.
      Deen the Great has a net worth of £2.5m, a number which could rise if he beats Walid Sharks this weekend.
      Swarmz, who will be fighting Ryan Taylor, has a net worth of £1.6m.
      This worth is nearly identical to that of OnlyFans star Astrid Wett, who is facing Alexia Grace.
      However, the boxers are not the only ones stacking dough.
      Co-presidents Kalle Sauerland and Mams Taylor are millionaire’s in their own right.
      Sauerland has a net worth estimated at £2.6m, while Taylor’s stands at £4m. More

      And Fury appears to be in the shape of his life as he posed topless to show off his sensational two month transformation.
      He captioned the post: “A 9 week transformation… one thing about me, I don’t cut corners. Ever.”
      Fiancee Molly-Mae Hague commented: “Absolutely insane.”
      The 2019 Love Islander has closed out his training camp for the bout and has been left completely shredded.

      Fury, 24, comes into the bout having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul, 26, by split-decision in their February grudge match.
      And he admitted to putting on THREE STONE after the win by gorging on £300 worth of cheesecake and junk food.
      But it is obvious Fury had no problem back in fighting shape as he prepares to come down in weight to face KSI.
      Despite his stunning transformation, KSI, 30, hit back: “Will make it so much funnier when I knock him out.”

      Fury scaled 184.5lb (13st 1lb) before beating Paul but must weight no more than 183lb (13st) this Friday.

      And he arrived full of confidence after claiming he could beat KS even after a boozy bender.
      He told PA: “These guys don’t really call for me to step up to world title ability. I’m levels above these guys.
      “I could beat KSI after 15 pints of beer. I could literally go down the pub all day, fight him at night-time and still beat him.
      “If we fight 100 times I beat him 100 times.”

      KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – almost had his nose battered by the Norwegian man-mountain while filming some content with him.
      Haaland and Prime co-founder Logan Paul recently tried to save a number of penalties from the Manchester City hitman.

      KSI recalled the meet-up during an appearance on That Peter Crouch Podcast, saying: “Oh my God. So I was in goal for it.
      “Bro, I was s***ting myself because he knows how to hit hard. It’s different.
      “Like you know when you’re with your mates and they kick the ball? It can be hard, but it’s not like professional level.
      “Haaland was there just trying to hit me with a volley, at professional level, while I’m in goal.

      On his relationship with the 57-year-old now, KSI added: “A lot of people are disconnected with their parents or their dads.
      “Like the idea of not even hugging him or saying, ‘Oh, I love you dad, it was just a foreign thing. Back in the day, like, it’s crazy it never happened.
      “And because he’s always working, it made sense, cause he had to do like two jobs and we didn’t have the time to bond ever.
      “We just didn’t know each other. He was just a guy who provides and that was it.

      “We didn’t have a relationship, we didn’t have that bond. That’s what I’m trying to fix now, that’s what I’m trying to create.
      “It’s cool cause now I’m taking him to Arsenal games, talking to him all the time.”
      Who is KSI’s mother Yinka?

      However, his partner is a celebrity in her own right.
      Alexxis has 304,000 followers on Instagram and often steals the show on her page with some steamy bikini snaps.

      She graduated from high school in 2014, where she was a part of the cheer team.

      On the decision to move to LA, she told women’s magazine Elle: “I felt like acting was the only way I was able to express myself. I could step into these other roles and understand a little more about empathy.
      “It’s definitely an escape – that’s what turned me onto it. And once I finally started to get callbacks and saw that my work was paying off, it felt almost addicting.”
      However, it has not all been plain sailing.
      Alexxis has revealed that her mixed-ancestry has seen her struggle to land some acting roles, being perceived as “too Latin” for some Caucasian roles and “not Latin enough” for others.

      KSI has promised to shock fans by producing a shocking victory, with many favouring Fury to get the job done.
      While Fury is certain he will be walking away from the ring with another big scalp, following his win over Jake Paul in February.
      If KSI wants to win, he’ll have to uphold the values of the four powerful words he has tattooed on his body.
      What do KSI’s tattoos mean?
      KSI has just four tattoos on his body, and they have all come in the last few years.
      KSI VS FURY
      Previously choosing to rock the non-tattooed look, KSI got his first piece of ink in 2017.
      KSI’s most prominent tattoo is the word ‘Knowledge’ which is emblazoned across his chest.
      He also has ‘Strength’ on his left arm and ‘Integrity’ on his right arm.
      KSI’s fourth tattoo is scribbled across his back
      Many have pointed out that the three words are an acronym of his name KSI, but it’s not where his name comes from.
      Most read in Boxing
      KSIOlajideBT was his original YouTube name and he pointed out that the KSI part came from his Halo clan.
      KSI also has a fourth tattoo on his back, which is the word ‘Legacy’.
      He tweeted out a picture of the tattoo with the words ‘What it’s all about’. More
