Tommy Fury explains why he's "never liked" YouTube boxer KSI ahead of fight
Tommy Fury has explained his dislike for YouTube boxer KSI ahead of their fight this Saturday.
Love Island star Fury looks to improve his professional record to 10-0 when he takes on KSI at the Misfits Boxing Prime card in Manchester. The 'double main event' also features KSI's former opponent turned business partner Logan Paul as he takes on Dillon Danis, who is a longtime training partner of UFC legend Conor McGregor.
KSI faced off with Fury after his knockout win against Joe Fournier in May which was later overturned to a no-contest because of an illegal elbow. Fury admitted that he dislikes KSI more than his former opponent Jake Paul as he isn't a fan of the way he behaves on social media.

"I've never been a fan, not one bit," Fury told BBC Breakfast. "I just don't like the way he carries on about all of this YouTube sneaky stuff and calling out people. I'm in a different mode now, I'm not really on social media because I've got a job to do and that's to fight on October 14, my job isn't to mess around on Instagram playing games and going back and forth with people. That's what generating the money but at the end of the day I'm not getting paid to do that, I'm getting paid to fight and that's all I will be doing."

KSI has accused Fury of not taking him seriously by sparring with novice middleweight boxer Owen Kirk, who has a professional record of 3-1-2. Fury doesn't think KSI's erratic boxing style will give him any problems on the night and he slammed the YouTuber for his actions at their launch press conference in August.
"When someone can't box very well, they box like KSI. They do erratic stuff because they don't know what they're actually doing. He's an idiot, a loudmouth in front of a camera. He's a s***house off camera as well, when it was going off I looked him dead in the eye and he didn't want any part of it," Fury told reporters including .
"I'm one million per cent certain that I'll beat KSI, there is no doubt in my mind. I've beaten tougher men than him already, he ain't stopping nothing. I'm going to go in there and dismantle this side inside two rounds. KSI is a blown-up fool who is going to come in on fight night and swing some silly shots, lunge in with some stupid stuff and that will be it."
