Two undefeated boxers will come face to face in a few hours in the AO Arena, Manchester. It will be KSI’s sixth professional fight against Tommy Fury, who has a 9-0 boxing record. However, before that happens, KSI’s former trainer and pro boxer Viddal Riley has given his prediction for the upcoming fight between Tommy and KSI.

KSI and Viddal initially collaborated for KSI’s early foray into the influencer boxing scene. Viddal trained KSI for his fight against Joe Weller and KSI’s fight against Logan Paul. The pair parted ways because Viddal had to focus on his own boxing career. However, the Brit has kept up with KSI’s fight against Fury. In his recent YouTube video, Viddal detailed his prediction for the much-anticipated fight tonight.
