July 31, (THEWILL) – Tommy Fury and YouTuber, KSI, are set to clash in a exhibition bout at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14, according to announcements from both camps late on Sunday.
Notably, the British Boxing Board of Control will not sanction this match as a professional boxing fight, as reported by sources monitored by THEWILL. Tommy, the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, boasts an unblemished record of nine professional fights, with four victories coming by way of knockouts.
Ahead of the upcoming bout, Fury exuded confidence, declaring his intention to secure a knockout victory within four rounds. Previously, Fury achieved a split decision win against Jake Paul during a match held in Saudi Arabia in February.
Meanwhile, KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, has participated in several exhibition matches including two encounters with Logan Paul, brother of Jake Paul. His career lacks the punch of Fury’s experience, but he believes the result will be determined in the ring rather than by his opponent’s boxing record.
