Tommy Fury left Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway "disturbed" when he threatened to send YouTube star KSI out in an ambulance from their upcoming fight.
Love Island star and unbeaten boxer Fury will face the UK's biggest social media sensation in Manchester on October 14, with an audience in the millions expected to watch. The pair sold out the 21,000-seat capacity for the venue within a few hours, and will fight on pay-per-view through DAZN.
With promotion ramping up for the event, Fury appeared alongside his dad John on the ITV morning show, where he insisted that he would be landing a quick knockout. He was even shown a video of KSI threatening to end his career, at which the pair laughed before mocking the YouTuber over his cringe presentation.
“This is an easy win for me, I’m training like I’m training for an undisputed world title fight," Fury declared. "When I jump in the ring with KSI he will quickly realise that fighting a YouTuber is completely different to fighting a professional boxer.
"All his singing, podcasting, his business, it will all be finished as mark my words, he’ll be leaving Manchester Arena in an ambulance. I can quite clearly guarantee it.” Garraway appeared surprised by his intensity, responding "Crikey, I’m actually getting a little bit disturbed by all of this.”

The fight will main event what promoter Kalle Sauerland has branded "the Super Bowl of influencer boxing", with Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis serving as the co-headliner. The undercard will also feature a host of major names such as Salt Papi and Anthony Taylor, as well as a rematch of last year's stunning Deen The Great vs Walid Sharks fight.
Fury most recently defeated KSI's greatest nemesis Jake Paul in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this February and is now taking on another one of social media's most notorious names. He was dropped in the eighth after being caught off balance by Paul, but dominated the proceedings prior and is a massive favourite going into the bout with KSI.
The fight comes just two weeks before his brother Tyson heads to Riyadh himself for his own crossover bout with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. His older sibling is one of boxing's top pound-for-pound fighters, and a massive inspiration to the 24-year-old Tommy.
