Body language expert's verdict on "terrified" KSI ahead of Tommy Fury fight
KSI has shown signs of being "terrified" of Tommy Fury ahead of their clash this weekend.
That is according to a body language expert who has delivered her damning verdict on the YouTuber's demeanour ahead of the biggest fight of his career. KSI, who has not lost in his six fights to date, faces an uphill task against Fury, the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson.
Fury is a heavy favourite with the bookmakers and body language expert Inbaal Honigman believes the professional fighter has come across far more confident than his rival in the build-up to their fight. "Ahead of the fight, Tommy Fury and KSI display very different body language, with Tommy showing consistently secure, confident signs that he is sure he'll win and it'll be easy, and KSI letting us know that he is terrified," she told Betway.
“At a press conference from early September, which came to blows, Tommy displays a calm, peaceful demeanour. His body is facing forward, showing respect to the audience, without any fidgeting or fumbling, with no signs of stress. He smiles without tension, and all of his physical moves are in unison. When he stands, his head still faces forward and his arms are by his side, which means that he can't be emotionally knocked, he's a very mentally strong individual.
“KSI displays very unstable and moody body language. His body is uneven, arms are not at the same height, which shows that he's struggling to control his emotions and therefore his limbs. His facial expressions are exaggerated which shows that he is tense and uneasy. He fidgets a lot, with jerky movements and unplanned tics, letting us know that he is not confident at all.

"KSI believes nothing. His eyes dart all over the room, and when he pulls dismissive faces at Fury, in a juvenile attempt to lower the reality star's confidence, he comes across as a class clown waiting for gales of laughter from the other kids. His body language is childlike, which tells us that he's panicking, and his eyes are turned slightly upwards, showing that even when he's facing his opponent, he is lost in thought. This lack of focus is not the best sign.”
And after watching Fury and KSI during their face-to-face interview, Honigman believes Fury is beginning to show signs of nerves - but still comes out on top compared to KSI. “Tommy spends much of the interview rocking lightly back and forth," she added. "This is a self-soothing move, so he is starting to feel the pressure. We see him licking his lips repeatedly, and there are a few deep breaths here and there, which show Fury is worried.” But of KSI she said: "The YouTuber is in full panic mode. He fails to face the camera, trailing sideways, showing his inability to concentrate. He engages in some long blinks, some nose pinching, general fidgeting moves which confess to us that he's nervous and that he has no plan."
