    Tommy Fury welcomes Jake Paul to watch KSI fight from ringside and reveals plan for rematch with rival

    TOMMY FURY has welcomed old rival Jake Paul ringside to watch his fight against KSI amid speculation of a rematch between the two. Fury buried two years of feuding with the American in the Saudi Arabia desert with a split-decision in February.

    But Paul, 26, snubbed an immediate rematch to instead return with victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
    So Fury, 24, instead turned his attention to a fresh YouTuber-turned boxer, this time British superstar KSI, 30, tonight in Manchester.
    Paul’s older brother Logan, 28, features in the co-headliner against jiu jitsu champion and MMA fighter Dillon Danis, 30.
    So the self-proclaimed Problem Child is set to be in the house, leading to an expected reunion with Fury.

    Asked if he has any issues with that, Fury told SunSport: “No, none at all.
    “At the end of the day, we had our beef, our fight, we settled it all in the ring and for now that’s died down.
    “There’s always going to be a fight there as I’m sure he wants to get that fight back – but that’s never going to happen.
    “And at the end of the day he can sit there and watch what should have been done to him.”

    Paul recently revealed that he has been exchanging unlikely messages with Fury with the two agreeing to rematch in 2024.
    And Fury said: “At the end of the day, Jake’s alright. Jake’s a lot better of a man than KSI I can tell you that.
    “But at the end of the day I’m focussed on KSI, I’m going to come for him and then we can sit round the table and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last dealings with the Pauls.”Ā 
    Logan also fancies a crack at Fury in a bid to avenge his younger brother Jake and after tonight – possibly his Prime business partner.
    And Fury opened the door to the stunning fight so long as the money is right.
    He said: “I’m going to solely concentrate on Saturday night, get a great performance God willing and then we’ll get around the table and see what’s next.
    “I’m sure if Logan Paul wants it he can definitely have it, 100 per cent.
    “I don’t really care about these guys, any one of them, whoever wants it at that time , whoever puts up the best offer is gonna have the fight, aren’t they?

    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: ā€œMy girlfriend is s***ing herself! She’s very, very nervous.Ā 
    ā€œBut I keep telling her or reminding her, ā€˜Remember the spar?’ She came to see me spar a few weeks back against this top, top pro.

    ā€œShe’s like, ā€˜I know, I know but it’s still Tommy Fury.’ I was like, ā€˜Don’t worry, I’ve got this.ā€™ā€Ā 
    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.
    ā€œHaving a private relationship is definitely the best thing.Ā She doesn’t want to be famous, she doesn’t want to be known anyway so it just works so well.ā€Ā 
    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: ā€œWhen it comes to numbers, I’m pretty clueless most of the time.Ā 
    ā€œFor 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.Ā 
    ā€œI’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, ā€˜Yeah, this was sick.’ 
    ā€œI 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.Ā

    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.

    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.

    ā€œSo yeah, I’ve made the money that I wanted to make and now I’m looking for more than that.Ā 
    ā€œAnd I know after this fight I’m probably going to feel a little bit lost and think, ā€˜I’m going to need something to excite me again.’  
    ā€œAnd just going to figure it out, whether that’s a fight with Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul, whatever, we’ll see.Ā

    ā€œSo 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.ā€Ā

    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.

    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 fiancĆ© David.
    In the video, a gigglingĀ DanniellaĀ says: ā€œGuess what, do you want to know a secret?ā€
    She then pans over to Ben who laughs: ā€œThe cats out the bag.ā€
    Danniella adds: ā€œIt’s official.ā€
    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-sisterĀ Danielle MasonĀ after inviting her on his podcast andĀ having their first date in Broadmoor.
    Speaking with the Daily Star about turning his life around following regaining his freedom, Ben said: ā€œI 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.
    ā€œI was done for hostage taking,ā€ he admits, ā€œwas on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
    ā€œThey 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.

    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.”
