Tommy Fury named pound-for-pound No.1 ahead of Jake Paul in new rankings

Tommy Fury has been ranked above Jake Paul and KSI in the first official influencer boxing pound-for-pound rankings.

Love Island star Fury handed Paul his first professional loss when they fought in February and the rivals have since been backed to meet again. Paul will first look to bounce back to winning ways against UFC legend Nate Diaz next weekend whilst Fury is expected to fight KSI in October.

KSI's Misfits Boxing promotion have released the first instalment of their pound-for-pound list as voted for by their new small council. The group includes KSI's promoter Mams Taylor, popular influencer True Geordie, coach Leon Wills, Paul's former coach BJ Flores and RoundHouse Radio.

Paul is ranked above KSI on the list as he comes in at the No.2 spot with the Brit sitting at No.3. Deen The Great remained unbeaten in the influencer scene by taking part in a tag team match with bitter rival Walid Sharks last weekend and his recent win earned him the No.4 spot on the list.

AnEsonGib, who is coached by Wills, progressed to the Kingpyn High Stakes finals by beating Jarvis earlier this month and he is ranked at No.5 on pound-for-pound rankings. Gib is a veteran of the influencer boxing scene as he made his debut on the KSI vs Joe Weller event in 2018. The Brit's only defeat in the ring came to Paul in 2020 as the pair both made their professional debuts on the night.

Slim Albaher comes in at No.6 with King Kenny, who recently beat Brazilian superstar Whindersson Nunes, sits at No.7. Anthony 'Pretty Boy' Taylor has earned himself the No.8 ranking and his former opponent Salt Papi sits at No.9. Despite not fighting for over two years, Paul's brother Logan is the final influencer on the list as he is ranked at No.10.

Logan looks set to make his boxing return on the same event as KSI's pencilled-in fight against Fury on October 14 in Manchester. Logan confirmed he has a fight booked whilst taking aim at fellow influencer Bradley Martyn for wishing that Diaz beats his brother's "a**" in their upcoming fight.

"Bradley, if you're serious I am inviting you to come to Puerto Rico to promote my upcoming fight," Logan said on his Impaulsive podcast. "I will spar you and I will humble your f****ng a**. It's going to be posted, you can post it, I don't give a f*** but you've got to be humbled my man. You're running your mouth about my brother and someone needs to take care of you."
