Not everyone gets what they want in the boxing realm. Especially influencer-turned-boxer, KSI. The infamous fighter who once gave Logan Paul a taste of loss through a unanimous decision has had a tough time landing fights lately. He was fixated on challenging the younger Paul brother, Jake. However, after numerous occasions of being snubbed from the other end, the fighter decided it was time to move on to the next opponent.
A new opponent on the horizon but still the same objective: defeat Jake Paul. In a bid to be victorious against Paul, KSI will be going against Tommy Fury on the 14th of October at Manchester’s AO Arena. Confused? Well, Fury had given Paul his first defeat earlier this year. Hence, by defeating Fury, KSI will indirectly prove that he is better than Logan Paul. In a bid to channel his wrath in the boxing ring, ‘The Nightmare’ sent some scathing threats to Fury.
