Just like the case with a lot of professional boxing matches, the bout between KSI and Tommy Fury took a while to materialize. It even came close to getting scrapped after JJ refused to agree to Fury’s demand of having the fight at 185 lbs. However, it appears that all the nitty-gritty stuff is out of the way now as both boxers are now getting prepared for their upcoming bout. At the same time, they are also taking shots at one another on social media.

Recently, KSI even warned Fury and stated his intentions of knocking him out. Moreover, Fury has already started his training and a video of him training along with his brother Tyson Fury surfaced on social media. However, JJ has something to say about his training.

Tommy Fury’s appearance on Love Island in the 5th season of the show is very well known. He accepted $255,256 to appear in the British reality show.
