Tommy Fury faces YouTuber KSI in Manchester's AO Arena

Posted : 30 July 2023
Boxer Tommy Fury is set to face YouTuber KSI in a highly anticipated bout at Manchester's AO Arena on 14 October.
 
The 24-year-old Fury previously defeated YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia in February. However, unlike that fight, the upcoming match-up with KSI, who is 30 years old and also a YouTuber, will not be sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) as a professional boxing match.
 
KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, has participated in several exhibition bouts in the past, including two fights against Logan Paul, the brother of Jake Paul. Logan Paul will also be part of the double main event in October, although his opponent has not been announced yet.
 
Tommy Fury, who rose to fame on the reality show Love Island and is the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is confident about the fight, calling it "easy money" and vowing to knock out KSI within four rounds.
 
On the other hand, KSI is determined to prove his doubters wrong and sees this as the toughest fight in the influencer boxing scene.
 
Fury currently holds an undefeated record of nine professional fights, with four wins by knockout. However, his victory against Jake Paul in February was not as decisive as expected, ending in a split decision.
 
KSI gained fame as part of The Sidemen and is known for his involvement in sketches on their YouTube channel, which boasts over 18 million subscribers. In April, he faced backlash and had to apologize for using a racial slur in a YouTube video, leading him to take a break from social media.
 
The event in October, which will be live-streamed on DAZN, is organized by Misfits Events. Although they are not sanctioned by the BBBofC, they are instead recognized by a body called the Professional Boxing Association (PBA).

However, it's important to note that the PBA is not the officially recognized sanctioning body in the UK, and KSI does not hold a professional license in the country. As a result, the fight with Fury will not be counted towards their professional records.
