According to Fury, Virgo is a “bum” and needs a “payday“. Likewise, Fury believes Virgo confronted ‘TNT’ at KSI vs. Joe Fournier.

While Fury has nine victories, Virgo has registered twelve victories already. However, while Fury has won 4 of his bouts via a knockout, Virgo has only 2 KO victories in the sport.

Tommy Fury and KSI recently expressed their desire to fight each other. While KSI declared he would beat Tommy Fury, the latter branded the CEO of Misfits Boxing as someone as delusional as Jake Paul. Hence, when KSI was sharing the ring with Fournier, a ranked boxer, Fury had to witness the fight. However, little did Fury know that he would go through a brawl ringside. Following Michael Benson’s tweet on the same, several people offered their views.
According to one fan, “This is why no real boxing fans watch this rubbish. Oh no YouTubers fighting. 😕”
