Tommy Fury has been backed to rematch Jake Paul and fight his brother Logan after a potential clash with KSI in October.
The Love Island star is expected to meet KSI in his next fight after handing Jake his first professional defeat in February. KSI faced off with Fury after his fight against Joe Fournier in May and the rivals had to be separate after shoving each other. Fury's dad John thinks his son won't be returning to conventional boxing anytime soon because there is more money for him in the influencer scene.
"I think he's got this one [with KSI] and there's talks with Logan Paul and the Jake Paul rematch. As soon as they're out the way, if he wants to carry on in conventional boxing that's up to him. Conventional boxing doesn't pay does it? They just don't get the viewing figures that MMA does or crossover boxing does," John told courtesy of Freebets Ireland.

"Crossover fights are getting more eyes and more numbers in, they pay better. Nobody likes getting punched in the mouth, so you may as well make as much money from it as you can. He's got those things to do and we'll look at that when he come to it, but let's concentrate on what we've got today."

Logan hasn't fought since going eight rounds with ring legend Floyd Mayweather in their June 2021 exhibition bout. The fight was a big commercial success as it sold over one million pay-per-views. 'The Maverick' has promised fans that he will return to the ring this year despite being busy with his professional wrestling career.

Fury's dad is confident that Tommy's clash against KSI will go ahead after the pair recently agreed to a last-minute deal, but he insisted that money is the final obstacle getting in the way of an official announcement.
"At the minute we are looking into the KSI thing, we are so close but again my rules and their rules are totally different. There's one obstacle they've got to clear and that's the money. Once we get confirmation on the money, it's all systems go. At the minute, money is hard to find and hard to put up but that's their job. Come up with the dollars and we'll fight, if you don't then when we won't," he added.
