      KATE GARRAWAY was left “disturbed” after Tommy Fury dished out a chilling warning to KSI live on Good Morning Britain.The celebrity duo will meet in a massive boxing bout on October 14 in Manchester.

      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.

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has opened up on being the middle man in Conor McGregor’s bizarre “beef” with KSI. McGregor called out YouTube star KSI to a bare-knuckle scrap after AJ knocked out Robert Helenius in August.

      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.

      “So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want!”
      KSI returns to the ring on October 14 in Manchester against Tommy Fury, 24, but he has eyes on McGregor afterwards.
      He said on talkSPORT: “Look, after Tommy Fury I might entertain a fight with Conor McGregor. With me, you never know. You never know.”

      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.

      “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.

      And it wasn’t long before Ross – who has teased a fight in the influencer boxing scene – wanted to share the ring with Paul.
      But he soon regretted it as he found himself taking punishing but controlled shots from The Problem Child.
      Paul, 26, let Ross – who is a vocal and public supporter of well-known misogynist Andrew Tate – throw several jabs before brutalising him to the body with hooks and uppercuts.
      And after nearly eight minutes of playing around, the former Disney star grew tired and dropped Ross with a big left hook to the liver.

      He got back to winning ways with a unanimous decision victory over the fan favourite, somewhat removing the bitter taste of defeat to Tommy Fury from his mouth.
      In his post-fight interview, he said: “I knocked him down, won basically every round.
      “I think he won one round but he’s a warrior.
      “I had him hurt in the first round, he kept on coming.
      “All credit to my team, my conditioning, going ten rounds in my eighth fight, it’s unheard of.
      “I’ve only been boxing for three years, he’s a UFC legend, I was watching this kid growing up.”

      THE SIDEMEN are a collection of Britain’s seven biggest YouTube stars. Across their channels, viral sensations KSI, Miniminter, Vikkstar123, Zerkaa, Behzinga, W2S and TBJZL have built up a huge fan base of over 130million subscribers.

      Thanks to this, the group have a net worth of over £44million.
      But their fortune does not only come from YouTube, though ad revenue on the site does reportedly bring in at least £1.6m a year.
      The business savvy Sidemen have also dipped their toes into a host of other projects.
      One branch of this merchandising is through clothing.

      Clothing is estimated to bring in up to £1.6m.
      And it is not hard to see why, with Sidemen branded T-shirts reaching up £30, hoodies reaching £60 and jackets reaching as high as £90.
      Accessories are also an easy sale tap.
      Fans can buy a variety of goods, with a key ring fetching £5 while a “XIX Silver Chain” will cost £30.

      Airpod cases, water bottles, phone cases, bucket hats, backpacks and even a basketball and table tennis set are among the other items fans can treat themselves too.
      However, clothing is far from the last thing in the Sidemen portfolio.
      Property is a huge part of a number of their collections too, with Miniminter and Vikkstar123 having a particularly large stake of their wealth in various properties.
      Indeed, fans get literally sink their teeth into some tasty treats thanks to the groups very own fast food chain, Sides.
      While KSI and Logan Paul have taken the world by storm by their PRIME Hydration drink – making Alisha Lehmann the latest big name star to join the crew – Sides is at a far smaller stage of development.
      Last year they announced a stunning partnership with Farnham Town FC – who currently play in the ninth tier of English football.

      The chain has a host of restaurants across England and South Wales, including BOXPARK Croydon and Wembley in London, Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester and Sunderland.
      Given they have been around for a decade now, they have also added XIX Vodka to their portfolio to appeal to their older demographic of fans.
      For book worms there is also the Sidemen Book, estimated to have sold over 26,000 copies within its first three days of publication back in 2016.
      This remarkably put them at No1 ahead of chef Jamie Oliver and the autobiography of former motorcycle rider Guy Martin in the Christmas book charts.
      There is also a subscription service called Side+ for exclusive content not posted elsewhere.
      Read More on The Sun
      A membership for this sets fans back £6.99 a month or £69.99 for an annual payment.
      All eyes will be on them and their friends when the Sidemen Charity Match gets underway this Saturday. More
